Only two teams lost money; one badly


Maury Brown at bizofbaseball.com reports on a Forbes report on the annual valuations of Major League Baseball's 30 teams.

A lot of good stuff there but in particular Forbes reports that only two teams lost money last year. Arizona had a slight operating loss (-0.6%) while the Tigers hemorrhaged money with a $29.5 million loss.*

Hmmmm.

It was all Curtis Granderson's fault.

(They had to blame someone, you know)

*They sell kids t-shirts in the Tiger shop at the park for $25 so they are trying.**

**They also do crazy things like having a "sale" rack with stuff on it that has the same price as the exact same stuff on the other "non sale" racks. "Sale" just really means that they will sell it to you. You know, the item is for "sale". Again, they are trying.
