maybe the hawks will be the last team to ever beat the knicks in a basketball game

@BravesVisionTV @BrandonGaudin He looks like he’s running for office and trying to be cool.

@grantmcauley Up until the last sentence this reads more like a LinkedIn post

@Braves This pic looks like y’all added the smile filter

@gvedak I was thinking the same thing after seeing some spring training stats around the league

@PastTheEyeTest We’re all trying to figure it out (including him). Thanks!

[Jorge Hernandez @igobygeorgetoo]

@PastTheEyeTest Michael Harris? He’s taken more walks than usual (good!) but what does the batted ball data look like?

[Jorge Hernandez @igobygeorgetoo]

@GAFollowers Like, is DHS paying y’all? If so, god bless. If not, you’re just working for free.

[Jorge Hernandez @igobygeorgetoo]

@GAFollowers Why are you guys lying? I am about to take off and got through security in 5 minutes. Y’all show your asses all the time on this stuff, pretend like you care about sharing good info.

[Jorge Hernandez @igobygeorgetoo]

@PastTheEyeTest Let’s go with Ozzie, I am more concerned about him thanks!

The Atlanta Braves financial statements are publicly available and serve as a general guide for understanding the business of baseball. Any good accountant can move some decimals here and there, but these are a good starting ground.

The Braves made $46M in profit last year on $600M in baseball revenue and currently have $150M cash reserves. They're making huge profits (only 15% expenses) from The Battery, a reminder that the business of baseball spans beyond the concourse.

This shows that, yes, teams like the Braves (or your favorite franchise in the top 1/2 of baseball revenues) could probably spend more. This also shows that they could not spend anywhere near the levels of LAD, who are projected to spend $300M more this year than the Braves on payroll and taxes alone.

Peep TV revenue for the Braves - incredibly strong at nearly $165M during baseball season in 2025. It's still hundreds of millions short of what LAD brings in. That's why you're starting to hear about Rob Manfred wanting to consolidate MLB's media rights. The idea that 29 other owners are just broke boys who are choosing not to spend like the Dodgers is a logical fallacy. They are not capable of sustaining losses of 8-9 figures each year. We've seen it fail time and time again in this sport. You can handle losses in the short-term, but it's not a long-term ownership strategy.

With all due respect to 3YearLetterman, I'm convinced that people who think everyone should spend like this are the same ones who are financing their waterbeds.

Pretty good data/logic here @GabeTheWP - not everyone can do what the dodgers are doing

@gbb70 They traded for Simien to play 2B, my guess is Bichette plays 3rd and they trade Baty

[Jorge Hernandez @igobygeorgetoo]

@GabeTheWP Haha I know, can’t help it I’m a sicko

[Jorge Hernandez @igobygeorgetoo]

@GabeTheWP Because they didn’t sign a 25 year $8 billion tv deal in 2013. Braves will be justified in pushing for a salary cap at the next labor dispute, which I hate but will be because of the dodgers doing this right now.

[Jorge Hernandez @igobygeorgetoo]

@GabeTheWP I’m not angry at the dodgers but I’m not angry at the owners of my team because they’re liberty media shareholders and the team has to turn a profit every quarter. They’re fifth in the league in payroll but they’ll never be able to offer contracts like this -
