Brewers Promote Pat Murphy to Manager, Rickie Weeks to Associate Manager

Murphy Steps Up Following Counsell's Departure to Cubs, Amid Contract Uncertainties for Key Players

Pat Murphy, former bench coach for the Milwaukee Brewers, has been promoted to manager following the departure of Craig Counsell.
Counsell, who set a Brewers record for career managerial wins, was recently hired by the Chicago Cubs.
Murphy, who has been with the Brewers for eight seasons, was awarded a three-year contract.
In addition to Murphy's promotion, the Brewers named former player Rickie Weeks as associate manager.
The Brewers are at a crossroads with the contract status of several key players, including two-time All-Star Brandon Woodruff, who could miss the entire 2024 season after having shoulder surgery.
