Despite the arguments of some on Twitter, Craig Counsell is a very good big league manager. He was the runner up for Manager of the Year each of the past two seasons. The Milwaukee Brewers have recognized his work and rewarded him with a contract extension.
Counsell has led the Brewers to back-to-back postseason appearances, the first time they’ve done so since 1981-82.
Robert Murray, formerly of The Athletic, was the first to report the contract extension.
