Amid a disastrous 0-7 start to their season, the Atlanta Braves are making some changes—but not the kind fans were hoping for. Instead of shaking up their lineup or tweaking their farm system, the team is making a different kind of adjustment that has left fans frustrated. Given the team’s rocky start, one would think the Braves’ fanbase would welcome any kind of change. However, this latest move is only adding fuel to the fire.
Money has been a hot topic for the Braves ever since the preseason and into the start of the 2025 season. Fans have been questioning where the money is going if it’s not being spent on improving the roster. The answer was revealed on April 2 when it was announced that Atlanta Braves Holdings had purchased a six-building office complex just across from The Battery Atlanta. The purchase includes 763,465 square feet of office space across nearly 34 acres of land.
Unsurprisingly, this move has sparked outrage among Braves fans, who feel this is not where the team’s funds should be directed—especially with the current state of the season. On social media, fans have made their displeasure clear, with many taking to X to voice their frustrations. “How about we acquire some wins?” one fan quipped, highlighting the feeling that money that could have been used to improve the team’s bullpen is now going into real estate.
This purchase has also raised bigger questions about ownership and management. Fans are wondering if this decision signals that the organization cares more about expanding its business empire than about winning games. Many seem to think that the focus is now on growth rather than building a competitive team.
As the Braves continue to struggle, fans are desperate for wins, a more engaged management team, and a roster they can support throughout the season. But with this latest development, it’s clear the team has a lot of work to do before it can earn back the trust and support of its fanbase.
