The Mets interviewed Murphy multiple times this offseason for their vacant managerial role. Of course, he didn’t receive the position. Those in and around the Brewers organization still believe Murphy would be an “ideal fit” for the Mets though. Therefore, it’ll be interesting to see if New York takes a jab at the opportunity again.
Murphy, 61, has been Milwaukee’s bench coach since the 2016 campaign. He previously was the interim manager for the San Diego Padres in 2015 after the ballclub fired Bud Black. Overall, his managerial record is 42-54.
