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.

People ask me all the time why I share the hard stuff so openly.
Why talk about the divorces? The drinking? The car wreck when I was drunk
Here's the thing. We identify with failure much better than we do success because each of us has misstepped at some point in our lives.
When I stand up and say I've been divorced twice, fired three times, had two DUIs suddenly people don't feel so alone in their own struggles.
They realize that if this guy who managed in the World Series can mess up that badly and still find redemption, maybe there's hope for them too.
I'm not trying to be the hero of my story.
I'm trying to be transparent and authentic because that's when real connection happens.
That's when someone in the back row thinks, "If he can get sober, maybe I can too. If he can find happiness in marriage, maybe there's hope for mine."
The truth is, I've been given a platform to share experience, strength, and hope through the lessons I learned the hard way.
I don't tell people what to do....nobody wants to be told what to do. I just try to be a guide on the side
Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is: "Me too. I've been there. And here's what I learned."
That's where healing begins.

United States Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer and Petty Officer Scott Ruskin, directly saved an astonishing 165 victims in the devastating flooding in central Texas.
This was the first rescue mission of his career and he was the only triage coordinator at the scene.
Scott Ruskin is an American hero.
His selfless courage embodies the spirit and mission of the @USCG.

Just before dawn 70 years ago today on June 16, 1955 our ship sailed past the Statue of Liberty into New York Harbor. It was the day we began our life in America. It was an 11-day trip on the Italian ocean liner Conte Biancamano. Here's the receipt for the 5 of us

It’s Aaron Nola’s birthday today, here’s my favourite tidbit of his.
“Aaron Nola has thrown over 10,000 fastballs in his career. Nine of them have been 96mph or faster. Three of those nine were thrown to his brother, Austin Nola”
God Bless you sir. Will miss talking baseball with you in Wilmington.
Philly baseball lost a legend. Wilmer Reid, 89, passed last weekend—a scout for over 50 yrs, most recently w/ the Phillies. From Negro Leagues outfielder to mentoring countless players, his impact was immense. Always at the ballpark, always with a smile. RIP to a true gentleman. ⚾️
