WEST PALM BEACH — For the first time in 20 years, the Atlanta Braves dominated a public discussion by the Palm Beach County Commission.

During eight minutes of discussion, however, commissioners agreed they weren’t ready to consider the idea until the Braves submit a formal proposal. That could happen as early as Tuesday.
“I’m not saying not to do it, that’s not what I’m saying, but before we actually sit at the table and the staff is looking at the representatives for the Braves, it might be helpful if we could get some information from the Braves on what it is they are looking for,” Mayor Mary Lou Berger said.
