Pat Murphy took a shot at the Yankees while celebrating the Brewers' World Series win
The 2026 Milwaukee Brewers won the franchise’s first-ever World Series title under the management of Pat Murphy, taking down the AL Champion Rays in five games in the Fall Classic. Murphy’s mind, however, was partially in New York City during the celebrations.
While the title-winning Brewers team were celebrating their historic World Series win on the American Family Field grass, manager Pat Murphy and first baseman Jake Bauers shared a congratulatory moment together.

Bauers is set to be a free agent in the offseason, and Murphy apparently believes he’ll be going to the “horses—” New York Yankees, where they “all play for themselves.”
“You’re gonna be a rich f—–,” Murphy told first baseman Jake Bauers. “Just remember when you’re on that horse s— Yankee team and you’re all playing for yourselves… Just remember this is way we used to do it”
Jake Bauers gifted Pat Murphy the final out ball. Murphy thanked him and told him
“You’re gonna be a rich fucker. Just remember when you’re on that horse shit Yankee team and you’re all playing for yourselves….just remember this is way we used to do it”

Bauers, 31 years old, has been a bit of a journeyman throughout his career thus far, as he’s played for the Tampa Bay Rays, Cleveland Guardians, Seattle Mariners, and New York Yankees since being drafted into MLB in 2018.
He’s coming off the best season of his career, having appeared in 144 games (career-high), with 127 hits, 26 home runs, 94 walks, and a .266 batting average — all of which are career highs.
Murphy, 67, has been the Brewers manager since 2024 after serving as the team’s bench coach from 2016 to 2024. Murphy was named NL Manager of the Year in 2024 and 2025 before leading the club to a franchise-best 103-59 regular-season record and its first-ever World Series title.
