Brewers' Brandon Sproat Reveals Good News in Hilarious Way
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Sproat was confident he would make the team, but he found out in a funny way.
The Milwaukee Brewers are set to begin the 2026 season by hosting the Chicago White Sox on Thursday, and right-hander Brandon Sproat learned that he made the team in a comedic way. Sproat, one of the New York Mets’ top prospects before coming to Milwaukee as part of the trade for Freddy Peralta in January, learned he had earned his spot with the Brewers by manager Pat Murphy informing him in boisterous fashion. “So everyone was telling me congratulations about making the team.
I was like, I have no idea what you're talking about,” Sproat said. “And then I went and got food because my day was over. I came around the corner and he was standing by his office.
He was like, ‘Hey! You made the team, deal with it! ’” Sproat took the news in stride, knowing now that is how Murphy operates with his humor.
“Yeah. I mean, just, that's Murph. I mean, it's, it's funny,” Sproat said.
