Brewers manager Craig Counsell, widely respected in the MLB, is holding all the cards.
Brewers owner Mark Attanasio has told beloved manager Craig Counsell he’s willing to give him a multiyear deal or a one-year deal, or possibly even time off with the promise to return. That’s how respected Counsell is.
Counsell, who declined to extend his contract in spring and is a free agent, will have other managing options if he’s interested. But time off could actually be a real option, as Counsell may decide he wants to more closely follow his four kids. . The delay isn’t over money, as Counsell, the longest tenured NL manager, makes $3.5M this year, and the small-market Brewers are generous with top decisionmakers. But he also knows that there’s no need to rush.
Milwaukee has spent reasonably well , but there was upset throughout the team last summer when the first-place team traded star closer Josh Hader, which precipitated clubhouse depression, a slump and a missed playoff spot by one game. There’s no sense that controversial trade factored into Counsell’s decision to delay his decision, which may be mostly about family/lifestyle.
