Baseball’s Most Valuable Teams 2023: Price Tags Are Up 12% Despite Regional TV Woes
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. The top-line gain was driven by a 64% increase in ticket revenue (including postseason and spring training), to $2.4 billion (the 2021 season started with nearly all ballparks under capacity restrictions) and a 35% increase in … [Read more...] about Baseball’s Most Valuable Teams 2023: Price Tags Are Up 12% Despite Regional TV Woes
Cleveland Guardians Have An Ideal Roster For New Major League Baseball Rules
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin As currently structured, the roster of the Cleveland Guardians has efficient, effective contact hitters with plenty of speed. Last year, the young Guardians showed the ability to get on base, get in scoring position, and score. Given the new rules introduced this year for Major League Baseball, “get em on, get em over, and get em in” makes great sense. It’s a plan that will likely work for Cleveland. Several rules changes introduced this spring training have already illustrated quicker games, much better flow and pace of games, and more action on the bases. Pitch Clock and the Guardians: Under Major League Baseball rules, pitchers have 15 seconds between each pitch to release the ball to the plate. With a runner or runners on base, the time changes to 20 seconds. Pitchers may disengage from the pitching rubber twice. If they throw over to first base in an attempt to pick off the runner a third time, they … [Read more...] about Cleveland Guardians Have An Ideal Roster For New Major League Baseball Rules

(Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife) For years Loria ran a low-budget baseball franchises and made a fortune by successfully maneuvering through Major League Baseball's financial system. Loria's strategy: rely on welfare from richer baseball teams and every now and then spend enough to have a contender (the Marlins defeated the New York Yankees in the 2003 World Series ) so fans stay at least somewhat interested. During the five years through the 2011 season the Marlins posted a staggering $153 million in aggregate operating income.

Jeffrey Loria paid $158 million for the baseball team in 2002. In December, I wrote that Loria was looking for $1.7 billion for the baseball team. Since Loria purchased the team in 2002, the Marlins have moved into a new, $639 million stadium paid for by taxpayers. Marlins Park could have been a financial windfall for the team.

The 5 Cringiest Fantasy Suite Moments In ‘Bachelor’ And ‘Bachelorette’ History
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Fans who tuned in to watch Zach Shallcross indulge in a trio of Fantasy Suite dates on the current season of “The Bachelor” know that the one-on-one meetups turned into awkward exercises in expectation versus reality. In particular, as Shallcross told anyone who would listen, he didn’t expect to have sex with any of the final three contestants (Kaity Biggar, Ariel Frenkel and Gabi Elnicki). Intimacy was “off the table.” It would only “muddy things.” The 26-year-old wanted to remain chaste until he picked the one he planned to propose to on finale night. But by his third date, he’d already flip-flopped on the plan, confessed, cried, apologized and talked about it all more than anyone, least of all Biggar , wanted to hear. It marked the most cringe-inducing moment in Shallcross’ season so far. But it’s far from the first cringey Fantasy Suite moment in the history of Bachelor Nation. It’s just one of the top … [Read more...] about The 5 Cringiest Fantasy Suite Moments In ‘Bachelor’ And ‘Bachelorette’ History
