Start spreading the news: The New York Yankees are Major League Baseball’s most valuable franchise, according to the annual Forbes report. And the Miami Marlins, run by Yankees great Derek Jeter, are the least valuable. Wait — does it really count as news if it’s so unsurprising? Anyway, Clayton Kershaw is set to return for the second-most valuable franchise, the Dodgers, and speaking of value, Nick Markakis is missing some items worth a significant amount.
Wait, the Yankees have a lot of money? And the Marlins have none? It’s like the past 10 years never happened.
The latest #MLB team valuations from @Forbes range from the #Yankees at $4.6B, to the #Marlins at $1B.
