Although it may not be totally correct, doesn't Forbes do soemthing every year that estimates the value of MLB franchises. I know Selig has criticized their work, but it may be closest thing to accurite that is available. Call me synical, but I would trust a Forbes estimate over anything that came out of Bud's mouth.

As for the "real" MLB financials, good luck! MLB has not released any information since 2000 and even that has been questions throughout the baseball and financial world for its true accuracy. You may be able to guess at good media contracts since MLB just made a new deal with DirecTV. Merchandizing is going to be a crap shoot!
Anyway, not trying to discourage you, just a shot of baseball reality 
Go for it and Good Luck!
I'll look for that info I did a while back. Maybe it can help you out. |
