The Milwaukee Brewers organization and its fans are in shock after the announcement that Craig Counsell will be joining the Chicago Cubs as their new manager. Counsell had been with the Brewers for the past eight years, serving as a special assistant to the general manager and then as the team’s manager since 2015.
The Brewers organization released a statement praising Counsell for his contributions to the team. They thanked him for his leadership and dedication to the team and wished him the best in his new role.
The Brewers’ players also expressed their gratitude for Counsell. Ryan Braun, the team’s longest-tenured player, said that Counsell had been a great mentor and leader for him throughout his career. He said that Counsell had taught him a lot about the game and had helped him become a better player.
The Brewers’ fans were also sad to see Counsell leave. Many of them took to social media to express their disappointment and to thank him for his years of service. They said that he had been a great manager and had helped the team reach the playoffs in 2018.
It is clear that Counsell will be missed by the Brewers organization, players, and fans. He was an integral part of the team’s success over the past eight years and will be remembered fondly by everyone associated with the team. The Brewers wish him all the best in his new role with the Cubs.
