Atlanta Braves
Current Leadership
Parent Company & Controlling Owner
Liberty Media Corporation, the media conglomerate controlled by billionaire John Malone, acquired the Atlanta Braves as part of a complex stock swap with Time Warner in 2007. The Braves are held through a tracking stock (BATRA/BATRK) that trades publicly on the Nasdaq. Liberty Media oversaw the franchise's relocation from Turner Field to Truist Park in the suburban Battery Atlanta development in 2017, which has become one of the most successful mixed-use sports developments in the country.
Chairman of Liberty Media
John Malone, often called the 'Cable Cowboy,' is the billionaire media mogul whose Liberty Media empire controls the Braves. While Malone is not involved in day-to-day baseball operations, his financial backing has allowed the Braves to invest in both their roster and their state-of-the-art stadium complex. His net worth and business acumen have provided the franchise with financial stability and resources to compete consistently.
Chairman
Terry McGuirk has served as chairman of the Atlanta Braves since Liberty Media took control, providing continuity in the front office. A longtime Turner Broadcasting executive, McGuirk has been associated with the Braves since the Ted Turner era and has been a steady hand guiding the franchise through the stadium transition and the team's return to championship contention, culminating in the 2021 World Series title.

Historical Figures
Former Owner
Ted Turner, the flamboyant media mogul and founder of CNN, purchased the Braves in 1976 and transformed them from perennial losers into one of baseball's premier franchises. Under Turner's ownership and the guidance of GM John Schuerholz, the Braves won an unprecedented 14 consecutive division titles from 1991 to 2005 and captured the 1995 World Series. Turner's merger of Turner Broadcasting with Time Warner in 1996 eventually led to the team changing corporate hands.
Corporate Owner
Time Warner inherited ownership of the Braves through its merger with Turner Broadcasting System. During this period, the franchise continued its run of divisional dominance but the corporate parent was largely focused on its own restructuring. Time Warner eventually divested the team to Liberty Media in 2007 as part of a broader asset exchange.
