You don't see a difference between providing actual information from a reputable financial source, versus your own words, with no link or other evidence to support your contention?     I'm going to stick with trying to find objective sources of best available information, thanks.
   

When will you provide actual information?  All I see is an estimate from Forbes, which was shown to be wrong in the past.  In some years, substantially wrong.  No idea why those numbers should be taken as fact when they have no access to the financials.

In any case, you still ignore the whole cash problem and the fact that the team's cumulative net was in the red until the last year or so.  This profit was not being paid out to anyone, so I do not see why it is relavant.

The Tigers are highly leveraged with Illitch Holdings pumping in cash to cover expenses.  The Pirates have already gone down that road and had to trade off players.  Yea, lets do that again!

Nutting should not be a baseball owner, but he is and that is unlikely to change.

This is a bump on an older thread. Here's what MLBTraderumors is reporting for the Padres --

The Padres are poised to sign a new television contract with FOX Sports that will guarantee them $75MM annually for the next 20 years, reports Bob Nightengale of USA Today. The deal is pending MLB's approval.

What happens to the west now?

Unfortunately, all of the better kangaroos have turned down competitive offers to come to Pittsburgh.

They will have to re-align the leagues and divisions according to the size of the local tv/radio contracts.

Several years ago when the big markets versus small markets debate was all the rage, the small markets were threatening not to allow the bigger guys the ability to broadcast from their parks.  Shortly after that, the revenue sharing system was put in place.

What I don't know is if the hammer (denying broadcast rights to the opponent) is still available, or if it was negotiated away as part of revenue sharing.  I guess it's possible that part of revenue sharing is actually designated as a payment for visitors broadcast rights.

If it would still be available, I would imagine the little guys might revisit this as a means of getting some of the monsterous rights fees from the big guys.

Sounds bad but it ends 2016. I would rather the Pirates have that Red's deal than the one they have 20 M per year ending in like 2031.

Are all of those long contracts front loaded? I can't imagine why you would lock your franchise into a two decade commitment unless you got a bunch of money up front and really didn't care what happens ten years from now.

Teams get a small raise kind of like what people on Social Security get every year to offset inflation or something.
