In a stunning and emotional move that has electrified the baseball world, Greg Maddux, the Hall of Fame pitcher and one of the most iconic figures in Atlanta Braves history, is officially returning to the organization — this time, as a co-owner.

The announcement came early Friday morning from Braves Holdings, LLC, the ownership group behind the team, who confirmed that Maddux will join the executive leadership group beginning in the 2025 season.

> “Greg Maddux is more than just a baseball legend — he’s family. Bringing him back to Atlanta in this capacity is a homecoming not just for him, but for all Braves fans,” said Braves Holdings in a joint statement.

Maddux, who pitched for the Braves from 1993 to 2003 and played a pivotal role in the team’s 1995 World Series championship, expressed his excitement:

> “This organization has given me so much throughout my life and career. I’m thrilled to return, not only to give back but to help shape the next great era of Braves baseball.”

This move marks the latest in a series of high-profile ownership shifts in Major League Baseball, but few carry the emotional weight and legacy that Maddux brings. As a four-time Cy Young Award winner and 355-game winner, his legacy as one of the greatest pitchers in MLB history is secure — and now, his influence will extend from the mound to the front office.

Further details about Maddux’s ownership stake, responsibilities, and involvement with baseball operations are expected to be released in the coming weeks.

For Braves fans, it’s more than a business deal — it’s a legend returning home.
