GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) – The Milwaukee Brewers and manager Pat Murphy reached a deal on a two-year contract extension, according to reports by MLB.com and The Athletic.
The new deal also includes a club option for the 2029 season, when Murphy would turn 71 years old.
According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, Murphy saw his pay bump to a guaranteed $8.95 million dollars. That would make Murphy one of the highest paid managers in all of baseball.
Murphy has seen a lot of success in Milwaukee since being named the manager following Craig Counsell’s departure for Chicago.
Murphy went on to lead Milwaukee to back-to-back NL Central titles, and won consecutive National League Manager of the Year honors.
In 2025, the Brewers finished with an MLB-leading 97-65 record and advanced to the NLCS, when they were swept by the World Series champion Dodgers.
