The 2020 Atlanta Braves team was the most exciting and jubilant team that I’ve ever witnessed in my 35+ years of fandom. Luckily for the Braves, most of the core is under control for 2021. However, not so lucky for the Braves, there was a double loss of revenue for the team as both the Battery and, obviously, Truist Park took mighty hits.
In 2020, the Braves held a payroll that would’ve been the highest in franchise history, coming in at $160 MM. Fortunately for the bottom line, the Braves only had to pay ~$60 MM of that amount.
