Brewers’ Pat Murphy makes Manager of the Year history in the most Pat Murphy way possible

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy made MLB history by winning the National League Manager of the Year award for a third consecutive season. Murphy, who accepted the honor live on MLB Network from his hospital bed while recovering from hip surgery, became the first manager in major league history to win the award three years in a row. He beat out fellow award finalists Walt Weiss and Don Mattingly.

Murphy led Milwaukee to a 103-win regular season and a World Series title in 2026 after previously delaying his surgical procedure to complete the campaign. Reviewing the Brew highlights that Murphy is now one of only seven managers in baseball history to earn three career Manager of the Year honors, achieving the feat across his first three seasons as full-time skipper.
