“He is as unique as you will see in 2B”; Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy wants Brice Turang to stay on defense

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Brice Turang he was the National League’s top shortstop in 2024, earning the Platinum Glove Award as a second baseman. Despite his excellent quality in this position, it is said that he will potentially move to the reserve team in 2025. Manager Pat Murphy recently appeared on Foul Territory TV to discuss who could take Willy Adames’ place in goal next year.

On Foul Territory TV, former Brewers catcher Erik Kratz asked Pat Murphy for his thoughts on whether Brice Turang has matured enough to make a significant change in his game (moving from second base to shortstop). Pat Murphy said: “There’s nothing that says he (Brice Turang) can’t do it. We have another youthful man in Joey Ortiz who is also very talented. The decision will be one way or another. I tend to leave Brice alone because he is so special as seen at second base.

The next question that was asked to Pat Murphy was, “How badly do you want Willy Adames back?” In conclusion, Murphy responded by talking about Adames’ leadership, his willingness to play every day and the fact that he is a player. Murphy said he doesn’t think much about it because Adames will only return if he doesn’t get the deal he wants, and Murphy doesn’t anticipate that will happen.
