LM has nothing to do with how much or how little the Braves spend.It's a very complicated deal but they're a seperate operating entity and Terry McGuirk (Braves Chairman) has the final say so on the purse strings.

Good news is that the Braves will be flush with cash after getting Kemp/Gonzales and BMacarthy amongst others off the books and they are also a seperate operating entity now frOM the Battery so they don't carry that debt...close to $60 to $70 million off tthe books maybe more depending on Markakis.

Braves should be close to $400 million in revenue which
would put em in the top 8 in MLB revenues and I think McGuirk is willing to spend cash this winter.
