If Liberty continues to run it like a business, I am assuming payroll will be cut drastically next year.

While, you're not wrong, there is no reason for Liberty to do such, IMO. They need butts in the seats/at the battery next year, more than ever. They need people excited about the Braves and spending money. Atlanta he has proven time and again that they are fair weather fans. You need a winning product. Obviously, we're very close to a complete team.


From a business perspective, drastically reducing their payroll in a business unit where the payroll directly affects revenue, in a year after the worst possible scenario for revenue, doesn't necessarily make that much sense. IMO.

Especially as close as we are to winning a WS. That's way more profitable long term than slashing payroll that the battery and team depend on to generate revenue.

Maybe if they know stadiums are going to be empty next year then I think you might have a case. All indicatons are that games will have fans next year. How many, who knows?

I already got an email survey about a potential socially distanced playoff watch party at Truist.
