Heartbreak news, The Brewers head coach, Pat Murphy, has officially announced his retirement due to the comeback of Craig Counsell.

In the press announcement, Arnold stated, “Rickie was a hard-nosed, homegrown player for the Brewers for many years and is now a valued member of our coaching staff.” We anticipate that in his new position, he will bring many of the qualities he had as a player to the dugout.

The whole 2023 coaching staff, including numerous title changes among the eight returnees, will join Murphy and Weeks.

The team has appointed Jim Henderson as assistant pitching coach, Walker McKinven, who is starting his sixth season with Milwaukee, as coordinator of run prevention, and Nestor Corredor, who is entering his second season as major-league field coordinator.

In addition, hitting coaches Ozzie Timmons and Connor Dawson (third seasons), first-base coach Quintin Berry (fourth season), pitching coach Chris Hook (sixth season), and third-base coach Jason Lane (ninth season) are all returning.

Murphy, on the other hand, moves up to the dugout’s top position after serving as Counsell’s bench coach for the previous eight seasons. On November 2, 2015, he was appointed to that role, taking Jerry Narron’s place.

Murphy’s only other previous managerial experience came in the 2015 season with the San Diego Padres, when he temporarily replaced the fired Bud Black on June 16 after Counsell was fired. Other than covering for Counsell for two games with the Brewers in 2021 and 2023,.
