Pat Murphy isn’t leaving Milwaukee any time soon. 

The Brewers manager got a new contract from the franchise, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed Thursday.

Murphy is restructuring his 2026 pact and adding two more years to his deal, keeping him with the team through the 2028 season, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. The new deal also includes a club option for 2029.

Murphy has been the Brewers’ manager since 2024 after previous skipper Craig Counsell signed a five-year, $40 million deal to take the same job with the division rival Cubs.

Murphy had served as a bench coach for Milwaukee since 2015 before being promoted to manager. 

Things couldn’t have gone much better for the Brewers since Murphy took over. In his first season, Milwaukee went 93-69 and won the National League Central division crown. 

Murphy won the NL Manager of the Year award for leading a somewhat surprising Brewers team to the postseason. 

Last season, Murphy made it back-to-back, winning the award and division once again with 97 regular-season wins. 

The Brewers have fallen short in both postseason appearances, though, losing in the wild-card round to the Mets in 2024 and getting swept by the eventual-champion Dodgers in the NLCS last October.

They have undergone some big changes to their roster this season, having dealt ace Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers to the Mets in exchange for Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat.

Infielder Caleb Durbin was also traded to the Red Sox as part of a six-player swap.

That’s nothing new for Milwaukee, though.

The Brewers have weathered several high-profile star departures in recent years, including Willy Adames, Corbin Burnes and Devin Williams, while maintaining a winning team on the field.
