Last season’s record revenue for Major League Baseball translates into all-time-high valuations for its teams. By Mike Ozanian and Justin Teitelbaum T he eroding economics of regional sports networks made little difference: Major League Baseball teams are still hot assets. Before Arte Moreno pulled the plug on selling his Los Angeles Angels in January, he would have gotten at least $2.7 billion, or $280 million more than the MLB record $2.42 billion that Steve Cohen paid for the New York Mets in 2020, according to people familiar with the sale process. The average MLB team value is up 12% this year, to $2.32 billion. During the 2022 season, revenue (net of stadium debt service) increased 7.8%, to an all-time high of $10.3 billion.

In March we valued the Marlins (and the economics of their stadium) at $675 million, 29th out of the league's 30 teams. The Marlins had attendance of only 1.75 million in 2015, 28th in MLB, … [Read more...] about Bankers Say Jeffrey Loria Floating $1.7 Billion Price For Miami Marlins
