Milwaukee Brewers are not in the headlines much these days. That is a good thing. It is the World Series, and Brewers should be staying out of the headlines. That being said, Brewers were mentioned yesterday as in their bench coach, Pat Murphy is considering the mystery candidate for the New York Mets manager position. Murphy has been on the bench with Craig Counsell for his entire managerial career. Counsell and Murphy have been a power duo for the last four years, and it appears Mets sniffed that out. For Brewers to lose Murphy, that could hurt the team.

Mystery candidate for #Mets’ managerial opening is #Brewers bench coach Pat Murphy, sources tell The Athletic. Has had multiple interviews with club.

It is funny to see Mets fans shit on the idea of Murphy because it’s not sexy. It might exactly what the Mets need right now. Mets fans are some of the most delusional motherfuckers in sports. They all think there is a possibility of A.J. Hinch of the Houston Astros considering his relationship with New York’s general manager. They all wanted Joe Girardi which was weird since that seems like a guy that is past his prime. If they do hire Murphy, they’re getting a coach from one of the most innovative franchises in baseball.

There is also a bit of a track record when it comes to Brewers’ hires post-Counsell. Derek Johnson went to Cincinnati and had one of the best pitching staffs in baseball in one of the most hitter-friendly parks. Murphy has been the right-hand man of Counsell, and even though he’s the mentor of the young Brewers skipper, my guess is he would take some of the philosophies.

We’ll see if the Brewers lose one of the members of their talented staff.
