A source confirmed to MLB.com that the Brewers were finalizing plans to promote Pat Murphy to manager after he served as Milwaukee’s bench coach for the last eight seasons, as first reported by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal on Monday night.

The source also said that former Milwaukee infielder Rickie Weeks was expected to join the Major League staff to backfill Murphy’s spot, continuing a meteoric rise through the coaching ranks that began with Weeks’ hire as a player development assistant in February 2022.
