PHOENIX – Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy has secured his position at the helm of the team after finalizing a contract agreement that extends for three seasons, covering from 2026 to 2028. The contract includes a club option for the year 2029, according to sources close to the negotiation.
Murphy, who currently holds the title of Manager of the Year in the National League, had entered the last year of his contract. Both the manager and the organization had expressed their mutual desire to extend their relationship.
If the option is exercised, Murphy would be in charge of the team until the age of 70.
The strategist took the reins of the team after Craig Counsell’s departure at the end of the 2023 season. Since then, he has kept Milwaukee among the most competitive teams in Major League Baseball.
Under his direction, the Brewers have achieved two of their three consecutive divisional titles, improving their regular season performance.
In 2024, the team exceeded expectations by achieving 93 victories, despite the departure of Corbin Burnes.
A year later, in 2025, Milwaukee set a franchise record with 97 wins, leading the Majors in victories and securing another divisional title, even after the transfer of Devin Williams.
During that season, the Brewers achieved streaks of 8, 11, and 14 consecutive victories, the latter being the longest in the team’s history. They finished among the best in offense and collective effectiveness. In addition, they broke a streak of six consecutive postseason eliminations by advancing to the National League Championship Series.
Murphy, with an extensive university career before reaching MLB, has been recognized for his leadership and his ability to maximize the talent of the team.
The directive has highlighted stability as one of the fundamental pillars of the project, and this extension reinforces that commitment.
With this agreement, Milwaukee ensures continuity in the dugout, seeking to remain a contender in the National League in the coming years.
