I didn’t know this was even an option. I would love for him to reconsider. Look what he did for the Mavs. The Braves would not be a rebuilding effort but it isn’t just about the roster. The facilities are state of the art, the locker room atmosphere is top notch and he is vocal in supporting his players. The Mavs are his team. I want the Braves to be his team as well.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. As a Padres fan I can admit that. BTW, Tino Martinez should have been rung up ’98.

Could also be because Cuban doesn’t see the value. The Braves have been a successful team but yet have trouble filling a stadium…

Wait one second!!! We all hate when billionaires own teams and spend more on their payroll than the competition!!!! Oops. Thats right. We only really hate it when its the OTHER teams that are doing that when ours can’t. Interesting…

If Cuban is really sincere about helping those in need of help, he’d also agree to be Peter Angelos’ legal guardian when he becomes senile.

Took the words right out of my mouth, paperlions.

I too grew up a Bravos fan (thank you, TBS… Very funny). And I must say, I have a giant spot in my heart for Mr. Turner, crazy or not.

Atlanta Virgins? That has a certain ring to it.

Cuban, please buy out Angelos. Pleeeeeese. The O’s fit the bill of a team that needs a lot of help.

There’s a chance that it isn’t Cuban’s lifelong dream to incrementally increase his already vast wealth via scamming state and local governments out of desperately needed tax dollars. As such, he’s unacceptable as a member of Selig’s MLB.

Why Yes! Actually a former employer of mine.

Strange, slightly unhealthy fascination in youth soccer, but I assume he’s into sports… . .

Worse: interviewed this morning someplace, Wally Backman announced that he wouldn't be interested in managing the Braves even in Mark Cuban did buy the team.

Richard Branson has some extra cash available and the team charter would be easily taken care of.

However, he’d want to rename the team the Virgin Braves.
