Pat Murphy takes interview from hospital bed as he wins third straight NL Manager of the Year

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy was named National League Manager of the Year for the third consecutive season, conducting his post-award interview with MLB Network from a hospital bed after undergoing hip replacement surgery. The 67-year-old became the first manager in Major League Baseball history to win the award three straight times, following a season in which he led the Brewers to their first-ever World Series championship.

Since replacing Craig Counsell in 2024, Murphy has guided Milwaukee to three consecutive NL Central division titles and 293 regular-season victories, ending a 57-year World Series drought. With three Manager of the Year awards to his name, Murphy sits just one win behind the all-time MLB record shared by Bobby Cox, Buck Showalter, and Tony La Russa.
