One formula, every club the site covers. See the whole board →

Who controls the club

The entity that holds control today, one per franchise; co-controllers and minority holders are listed, never summed.

How this is measured

Exactly one control entity is recorded per franchise, so a portfolio can never count a club twice. Co-controllers and minority holders are shown as published and carry no weight in any total.

The chip names the evidence. Sourced: a primary source is linked (league, club, filing or tier-one outlet). Cross-checked: matched against the ownership-change sweep. Contested: disputed or mid-sale. Rows are reviewed weekly.

Stakes are as published, often only “majority”, and are not pro-rated. A record of control is not a claim about anyone’s intent or conduct.

Who controls the clubAtlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BATRA/BATRK)
Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BATRA/BATRK)listed company· Publicly traded
Sourcedas of 18 Jul 2023

Shared control with: Terence F. McGuirk (chairman, president and CEO; control person)

Minority holders: John Malone / JCM AB LLC

Liberty Media is stale: it completed the split-off of Atlanta Braves Holdings on 18 Jul 2023. Malone handed sole voting control of 887,079 Series B shares to McGuirk in Aug 2024, so McGuirk holds roughly 44% of votes and is the control person.

Games it had least right to win

Every Braves game ranked by the Elo win probability before first pitch. The last column is that probability; the lower it was, the bigger the upset.
