Anytime you sign a 30 year contract with a pretty flat rate of compensation, with no way to opt-out, you have done an AWFUL job negotiating.
I just can't imagine what the ownership group was thinking. This is really, really shitty for the long term future of the Braves. Unless we keep getting studs from the farm system every five years, I expect the team to fade into the back end of the NL. Ugh.
Unless the negotiating is essentially between two entities that you both own, and your main objective is to get a contract in place that looks most attractive to a potential buyer of one of the entities.
Its not like the Braves negotiated the contract. They are one tiny piece of their owners giant puzzle, and what is best for the puzzle is rarely best for their piece. Thats why they need to get away from Liberty.
