Notes
- a The Atlanta Braves sale in 2007 to Liberty Media was part of a complex swap of cash, stock, magazine holdings, and the Braves, in which Time Warner sent the Braves, a hobbyist publishing company, and $980 million to Liberty in exchange for approximately 68.5 million shares of Time Warner stock, at the time worth $1.48 billion. It was announced and confirmed that the Braves were given a value of $450 million in the transaction.[3][4]
- b The price for the St. Louis Cardinals included Busch Stadium.
- c As much as $200 million of the sale price included the team's 20-percent stake in Fox Sports San Diego.[5]
