MLB: Bravos’ Local TV Revenue Will Increase Dramatically in 2023 and Beyond

To the Atlanta Braves They have six seasons left on their current television contract with Bally sports, and the team will soon receive an increase in its annual revenue from that deal. Starting in 2023, the Braves will receive more than $ 100MM per year, and that number will increase to about $ 120MM by 2027.

It is not known if this increase will directly affect payroll, but the Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos, said the Braves have more available to spend in 2022:

The television contract and other details about the team’s business were revealed at an investor conference for Liberty Media (the parent corporation of the Braves), which included Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei, saying there were no plans to sell to the Braves.

Given all the positive information presented to investors, it is not surprising that Liberty Media wants to keep the team, as overall revenue continued to rebound both in the wake of the pandemic and with the Braves’ World Series run adding even more a benefit.

As Maffei simply put it, “it’s been a pretty good run” for Liberty Media since it bought the club in 2007.

I am fond of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and in general all of Mexican baseball. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover major events such as the Caribbean Series, LMB All Star, LMP (uninterrupted since 2009), signings of important players. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, albeit as a fan. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even an NBA friendly 10 years ago, but I carry baseball in my veins. BA in Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS) , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and a reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I came to El Debate as a journalist reporter and it was almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to the radio providing my services in Línea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and within days, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. That is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
