"We've lost Craig (to Chicago), but I've reflected on this -- Craig has lost us and lost our our community," Attanasio said, according to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Counsell previously served as the Brewers' manager since 2015, leading the organization to a record of 707-625 in nine years.
