Former Padres manager reveals his time leading San Diego's clubhouse is a difficult memory.
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy was the interim manager of the San Diego Padres nine years ago. He, not current Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, was chosen to replace Bud Black for the bulk of the 2015 season after Black was fired.
Then in June 2015, Padres general manager A.J. Preller asked Murphy to become the interim manager following the firing of Black. Murphy took over a clubhouse that was extremely loyal to Black. The coaching staff included Roberts and Mark Kotsay, both future managers. And the Padres trio at the time in Matt Kemp, Justin Upton, and James Shields, didn't know Murphy.
