Pat Murphy and the Milwaukee Brewers have signed a new three-year contract covering the 2026 through 2028 seasons, with a club option for 2029, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. The deal restructures the final year of his prior contract while adding two additional seasons.
Murphy has guided Milwaukee to the postseason in each of his two full seasons at the helm, operating under tight financial constraints. The Brewers have claimed three straight NL Central titles under his watch.
Last season, Milwaukee posted a 97-65 record — the finest in franchise history and the best mark in all of baseball. The club reached the National League Championship Series for the first time since 2018 before falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a four-game sweep.
Murphy owns a 190-134 overall record with the Brewers. His back-to-back NL Manager of the Year awards made him the first skipper to win consecutive honors since Bobby Cox of the Atlanta Braves took the award in 2004 and 2005.
Murphy was hired in 2023 to succeed Craig Counsell, under whom he served as bench coach for eight seasons. When Counsell departed for the Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee elevated Murphy from within.
The extension signals the organization's confidence in Murphy's ability to sustain a winning culture despite one of baseball's more modest payrolls.
