Brewers manager mocks Yankees after winning World Series

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 29 Oct, 15:46 · Archive

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy criticised the Yankees after winning the World Series on Wednesday.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy criticised the Yankees after his team won the World Series on Wednesday night, defeating the Rays in Game 5. In a video captured during celebrations, Murphy told Jake Bauers, a former Yankee who will become a free agent, to remember his time on the 'horseshit Yankees team' where players were 'all playing for yourself'.

Bauers spent 2023 with the Yankees, when the team finished fourth in the AL East and missed the playoffs. He batted .202 with 12 home runs in 84 games. He was traded to the Brewers, where he has since thrived: in the 2026 regular season he hit .266 with 26 home runs and an OPS of .874, all career bests. He was named NLCS MVP as the Brewers swept the Los Angeles Dodgers to reach the World Series for the first time since 1982.

Murphy's comments add to recent criticism of the Yankees. When the Dodgers defeated the Yankees in the 2024 World Series, Los Angeles players Joe Kelly and Miguel Rojas called out their opponents' play, describing them as 'sloppy' and 'lazy'.
