Braves sold to Liberty Media
Posted on May 16th, 2007 by Kevin
Today the sale of the Atlanta Braves to Liberty Media was approved by baseball owners. I’m really not sure if I’m suppose to be happy or not. On one hand, Time Warner is no longer the owner which is a good thing. On the other, all indications are that this was strictly a tax benefit deal for Liberty Media and I’ve heard no “real” excitement in owning a baseball team. I think the best possible outcome from this deal is that next year John Schuerholz has a bigger payroll to manage. I hope the payroll is increased but I’m not holding my breath.
