Atlanta Braves | Cot's Baseball Contracts

Service time in days & years (through 2012 season).

Liberty Media Corp. acquired the Braves from Time Warner in February 2007. (MLB owners approved the transaction in May, 2007.) Under the deal, Liberty swapped 60 million shares of Time Warner stock in exchange for about $1 billion in cash, the Braves and a group of Time, Inc. magazines.
