As per the 2017-21 CBA, here is how MLB officially ranks its clubs in terms of market size and the score it assigns to each:

1. NYA, 235
1. NYN, 235
3. LAN, 178
3. ANA, 178
5. CHN, 124
5. CHA, 124
7, TOR, 119
8. WAS, 113
9. PHI, 111
10. OAK, 108
10. SFN, 108
12. BOS, 101
12. TEX, 101
14. ATL, 96
15. HOU, 93
16. SEA, 81
17. MIN, 76
18. DET, 74
19. ARI, 72
19. TBA, 72
21. BAL, 70
21. COL, 70
23. MIA, 69
24. CLE, 64
25. SDN, 60
26. SLN, 57
27. PIT, 56
28. KCA, 53
29. MIL, 52
30. CIN, 51

MLB uses the above market rankings and scores in its revenue sharing system. Clubs with a market score greater than 100 are ineligible to receive revenue sharing funds, with the exception of Oakland, which receives 75% of its allotted revenue sharing amount in 2017, 50% in 2018, 25% in 2019, and is fully ineligible in 2020 and 2021.
