Pat Murphy wins third straight NL Manager of the Year award after Brewers' World Series title

Pat Murphy has won the National League Manager of the Year Award for the third straight season. He guided the Milwaukee Brewers to their first World Series title in franchise history.

Murphy is the first manager in MLB history to win the award three times in a row. Only Bobby Cox and Kevin Cash had previously won it twice consecutively.

“I think it was when the playoffs started, you just saw the way they won games, how resilient they were, how they responded to every adversity, you just got this feeling that we could be destined to do this.”

The 67-year-old accepted the award from a hospital bed following hip replacement surgery. He told MLB Network he sensed something special once the playoffs began.

Milwaukee won a franchise-record 103 games during the regular season. Voting occurred before the postseason, so playoff success did not factor into the results.

Will Venable of the Chicago White Sox won the American League award. He led the team after they lost 102 games in 2025.

Murphy replaced Craig Counsell, who left for the Chicago Cubs three years ago. The Brewers promoted Murphy, who had served as Counsell's bench coach for eight seasons.
