The Milwaukee Brewers have signed Ken Macha to a two-year deal to manage the team.

Macha believes he has learned a lot from his previous experience as the manager for the Oakland A’s.

“The four years in Oakland I learned a tremendous amount of baseball, don’t get me wrong,” Macha said.

“I can be nothing but a better manager now that I come here to Milwaukee.”

Macha is replacing interim manager Dale Sveum, who was promoted when Ned Yost was fired with just 12 games left in the regular season. Sveum is expected to return to the Brewers in some capacity next season.
