Pat Murphy, manager of the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a>, solidified his future with the organization.<\/p>\n

Murphy, the back-to-back National League Manager of the Year, was awarded a new three-year contract that will make him one of the highest-paid managers in the sport. It also includes a club option for the 2029 season. Following the news of his deal, Murphy discussed the significance of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, I think it’s important to know where you’re going to be,\u201d Murphy told Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. \u201cAnd I really didn’t have any doubt that this was going to work out. I’m really grateful, really thankful.<\/p>\n

You don’t realize it because you’re part of the baseball world. I feel lucky I do this for a living. I feel lucky, I feel fortunate, I know how tough it is to get here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last season, Murphy led <\/a>the Brewers to their third straight NL Central Division title and a franchise-best 97-win season. But Milwaukee lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> in the National League Championship Series.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just felt like it probably is the best to get it done,\u201d Murphy added. \u201cAnd I don’t want to be with any other organization. I feel really connected. Going on my 11th season, I feel really part of it. And I feel like this is where I’m supposed to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Murphy, the connection with the organization transcends results on the field. When it comes to relationships, they are the best part of his job.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, it’s just the relationships for sure, you know what I mean? I don’t even remember some of the games, you know what I mean? Like some of them stand out, but it’s not that, it’s the relationships. The best part of the job is seeing guys believe in themselves.<\/p>\n

In looking at Murphy\u2019s journey <\/a>through the ranks, it has been extensive and included a great deal of success. After carving out an elite reputation in the collegiate space, he had a chance to serve as interim manager for the San Diego Padres<\/a> in 2015 before working under former Brewers manager Craig Counsell as bench coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m constantly growing myself,\u201d he said. \u201cI think of myself coming out of college, trying to be a college coach. And then turning into a major league coach, like, wow. The education that I needed in order to do that \u2014 yeah, I’ve learned so much.<\/p>\n

“I can’t even go down the list of things about the game, about the managers, managing a baseball game,” Murphy said. “Learn the X’s and O’s, you learn people, you learn personalities. How to deal with different guys, yeah, it’s constant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even with decades of experience, Murphy continues to strive to be a student of the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope to keep doing it, I hope to keep learning,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
