"One of the of the biggest off the field stories over the past year or so for the Braves and many other MLB teams has been the uncertain future of their TV Broadcasts. On Monday, several MLB teams decided to take the next step forward as they will have their broadcasts directly linked to MLB itself. However, the Braves are expected to go a different route and focus on establishing their own TV Network in the near future."
"This is not that surprising, as some MLB teams in the biggest markets/with the biggest fanbases have done the same in the recent past. Though the details are still unknown, the logic behind this move is a simpler setup for the Braves to get access of their games to the fanbase with a bigger part of the profit coming their way."
"The Braves are officially moving all their Spring Training necessities to Florida in anticipation for Spring Training. Plus, more information on the promotion schedule for the 2026 season. Brendan Donovan, one of the more notable bats on the trade market this offseason, found a new home with the Seattle Mariners via a trade with the Cardinals on Monday."
The Braves intend to create a team-owned television network to distribute games and capture a greater portion of broadcast revenue. Several other MLB clubs chose to have their broadcasts linked directly to MLB instead. Large-market teams with sizable fanbases have pursued similar team-focused broadcast solutions in recent years. The stated rationale is simpler distribution to the fanbase and increased profit retention, though specific details remain unknown. The organization is relocating all Spring Training operations to Florida and released additional information about the 2026 promotion schedule. Brendan Donovan was traded from the Cardinals to the Seattle Mariners.
