Quick Summary

Pat Murphy, manager of the Milwaukee Brewers, won the National League Manager of the Year award for a third consecutive year on Tuesday, making him the first MLB manager to achieve this feat. He received the honor from his hospital bed after undergoing hip replacement surgery just one day earlier. The Baseball Writers’ Association of America announced the awards before the postseason began, and Murphy led the Brewers to their best regular-season record in franchise history with 103 wins while playing in a small market with a modest payroll.

AI analysis

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
