Makes a ton of sense, just 90 minutes away from MKE. Gotta love the pure avarice of it all.

My guess is the Brewers never budged off their initial offer that would have made him the highest paid manager. Why play the reindeer games for a dude with zero loyalty?

Looking forward to Ken Macha 2.0 since I've been assured that nobody can replace CC.

I find it extremely hypocritical for him to say he was doing this for the good of all managers while actively engaging with a team that already had a manager that he knew would get fired as a result o

I know this for certain, I will be rooting against CC hard all season long, not just when we play him, but every game he manages. I want to see complete and utter failure from him and his team.

Only on BF.net can offering  a guy a contract that would have made him the highest paid manager in baseball be viewed as a sure sign that the owner is a penny pinching Ebenezer Scrooge. ……… Steve

Well, now the fun starts. Embrace the unknown.

Embrace the roller coaster.

Congrats to the Cubs and Counsell. I look forward to beating them annually.

I am already cringing at the new round of rancor that will be hurled @Matthew Trueblood's way. At the same time...

wonder if this impacts stadium deal...

I am more upset we twiddled our thumbs watching all the other top candidates sign and now have to find the scraps. Wonder if Pat Murphy gets promoted. 

 

Good luck to him....should be interesting watching him manage without elite bullpen arms covering a 1/3 of the game for him. He is going to have to manage a lot more than he has before. Not saying he will or won't succeed...but I think he has had it a little easy in a lot of ways over the years.

Just like no one realistically had the DBacks in the WS before the season, no one had Counsell to the Cubs.

Baseball has an infinite capacity to surprise, which is why its pretty much the best.

Pat Murphy can get lost and go with his boy Craig.

I don't know. But I wonder.

According to the Atlantic

Didn't see that coming, though geographically it makes more sense than New York.

ETA: Didn't notice that the Robert Murray thread had morphed into this.

Well I’m not saying cause any physical harm to the guy or do anything else stupid along those lines, but yeah this is a betrayal of the highest order…

And if there's one thing that Wisconsin fans value more than any other fanbase, it's loyalty. 

So yeah...he's going to be getting the full blown Manny Machado treatment.

A new job and he doesn't have to sell his house!

Does he not? Can't imagine trying to stroll around Sendik's after this.

I think he forced his way out of Milwaukee the moment that news came out that CC was going to take the highest offer but would give the Brewers a chance to match. Why would the Brewers even entertain a match under that scenario? They'd offer something they felt was fair and let him choose.

But Counsell was also taking the Mets job what happened there?  Also Cohen will pay anything to get Counsell what happened with that?

Looks like it was the Cubs who,would pay anything
