MLB Team Values Soar Despite TV Turmoil
TL;DR
Despite the recent bankruptcy filing of Diamond Sports and the continued disintegration of the regional sports network model, Major League Baseball franchise values have increased by 12% over the past year, with the New York Yankees topping the list as the most valuable team at $7.1 billion. The increase in value was largely due to a 64% increase in ticket revenue, including the postseason and spring training. However, smaller market teams are at risk of local television fee cuts, impacting their valuations.
