Braves opened the season at 126m payroll according to the AJC at the time.

I'm not sure how much of this info will be in the Liberty reporting -- with a shadow stock maybe a lot of it will be. But the only real judge will be to see where payroll tends to land going forward.

It's never been clear to me how much of the ancillary income was going to remain in house. Just like I'm not sure were the 50 million dollar windfall every MLB team is getting will be deposited.
