Brewers manager Pat Murphy criticizes Yankees after World Series win
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy criticized the Yankees in a video recorded after his team clinched the World Series on Wednesday.
He made the remark while talking with Jake Bauers, a Brewers player who previously played for New York.
Bauers was with the Yankees in 2023, when they finished fourth in their division and missed the playoffs.
Since joining Milwaukee, Bauers has had career-best numbers, hitting 26 home runs in the 2026 regular season and earning MVP honors in the National League Championship Series.
Murphy suggested that the Yankees’ players had been playing for themselves, contrasting that with how the Brewers worked together.
The Brewers’ World Series victory is their first since 1982, according to the story.
Bauers is set to become a free agent, and Murphy is favored to win the National League Manager of the Year award for a third straight season.
The Milwaukee Brewers won their first World Series, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in the series.
During the celebrations on Wednesday night, manager Pat Murphy criticized the Yankees in a conversation with first baseman Jake Bauers.
Murphy recalled Bauers’s time with New York and said the Yankees had played for themselves.
Bauers played for the Yankees in 2023 before being traded to Milwaukee.
The Brewers finished the postseason with an 11-2 record, according to the Daily Mail.

You’re going to be a rich fucker. Just remember when you were on that horseshit Yankees team and you guys were all playing for yourself? Just remember, say, ‘This is the way we used to do it.’
You ain't getting rid of me that easy!
I'm most proud of the way the lineup came together and bought into a singular approach
