Back-to-back National League Manager of the Year Pat Murphy agreed to a multi-year contract extension with the Milwaukee Brewers, the team announced Friday morning.

Specific terms of the deal were not disclosed by the Brewers, however multiple media outlets reported that it was a three-year deal, spans through 2026-28 and includes a club option for 2029. ESPN reported that the extension guarantees $8.95 million in additional money.

'Pat Murphy has been an incredible partner and leader here for over a decade,' Brewers president of baseball operations Matt Arnold said. 'I'm thrilled that we have been able to come up with the framework that keeps Murph with the Brewers for years to come and maintains a special relationship that we have established. I look forward to continuing the pursuit of a World Series championship with Murph and his staff.'

Murphy, 67, steered Milwaukee to a cumulative 190-134 record and consecutive NL Central titles over the past two seasons.

The Brewers eliminated the Chicago Cubs from the 2025 NL Division Series in five games, then were swept in the NL Championship Series by the Los Angeles Dodgers, the eventual World Series champions.

An organizational fixture, Murphy joined the Brewers in 2016 as bench coach for Craig Counsell, whom he replaced as manager following the 2023 season. Milwaukee has qualified for seven postseasons over his decade with the club.

'I'm sincerely grateful I have a locker,' Murphy said in a text message to MLB.com on Thursday afternoon. 'Getting to be part of the Brewers' organization for the last 10 years has been a great journey. Getting to continue in this position is an honor.'

Murphy previously managed the San Diego Padres to a 42-54 record as an interim replacement for Bud Black in 2015. He coached in the Padres' minor league system following long stints as a college head coach at Arizona State (1995-2009) and Notre Dame (1988-94).

He also managed the Netherlands national team at certain major tournaments, including the 1987 European Baseball Championship and the 2000 Summer Olympics.
