For The First Time Every Major League Baseball Team Is Worth At Least 1 Billion
That goes for the comparatively lowly Miami Marlins, valued at $1 billion, all the way up to (who else?) the New York Yankees at the top of the heap, with a total value of some $4.6 billion. Here’s a rundown of how all 30 MLB teams are estimated to be worth: Miami Marlins: $1 Billion Tampa Bay Rays: $1.01 Billion Kansas City Royals: $1.025 Billion Cincinnati Reds: $1.05 Billion Oakland Athletics: $1.1 Billion Cleveland Indians: $1.15 Billion Milwaukee Brewers: $1.175 Billion Minnesota Twins: $1.2 Billion Colorado Rockies: $1.225 Billion Detroit Tigers: $1.25 Billion Pittsburgh Pirates: $1.275 Billion Baltimore Orioles: $1.28 Billion Arizona Diamondbacks: $1.29 Billion San Diego Padres: $1.35 Billion Toronto Blue Jays: $1.5 Billion Seattle Mariners: $1.575 Billion Chicago White Sox: $1.6 Billion Texas Rangers: $1.65 Billion Atlanta Braves: $1.7 Billion Washington Nationals: $1.75 Billion Houston Astros: $1.775 Billion Philadelphia Phillies: $1.85 Billion Los Angeles Angels: $1.9 Billion St. Louis Cardinals: $2.1 Billion New York Mets: $2.3 Billion San Francisco Giants: $3 Billion Chicago Cubs: $3.1 Billion Boston Red Sox: $3.2 Billion Los Angeles Dodgers: $3.3 Billion New York Yankees: $4.6 Billion As you can see in the above list, most of the teams in the league are fairly well grouped together, in terms of total team value, while on the other hand, the Yankees have a good $1.3 billion leap on the next most valuable team. The average team is still worth a generous $1.78 billion, which is a spike of some eight percent compared to the previous year – and yet another indication that baseball as an industry is continuing to grow.
