Sean Dolinar does a very nice job of turning the annual Forbes Baseball Team Valuations into interactive graphs. The most interesting thing I see on the graphs is that the Tigers, once of the higher payroll teams, does not measure up in revenue against some of their high payroll competition. I believe this has to do with Detroit trying to win a World Series for their elderly owner.
Have fun with the graphs!
MLB had revenues of 9 billion last year but Forbes number add up to only 7.6 billion. I know they exclude revenue sharing payments but that means they should include revenue sharing receipts and it should balance
I see they also excluded stadium financing. Why would they exclude stadium financing from revenue?. I understand why MLB would exclude it as revenue required to be shared, but we want to see the teams revenue. That would not account for the 1.6 billion shortfall so they must be excluding some other revenues.
Also, these valuations don’t include everything. Yankees enterprise value including Yankees, legends and YES is 5.2 billion
