Sportico, an American sports business and media outlet, evaluated and announced the value of each major league club on the 26th (Korea time).

The New York Yankees ranked first with $8.39 billion. The Los Angeles Dodgers followed with $7.73 billion. The combined value of the two most prestigious teams in the Major League last year in the World Series is $1.612 billion.

The team to watch is the Dodgers. Compared to last year, it is up 23%. This is because he attracted a large number of superstars, including Shohei Ohtani, and maximized his power with Ohtani, beating the Yankees last year to win the World Series. It can be said that Ohtani made a brilliant contribution to raising the value of the Dodgers.




Sportico explained that it evaluated the club's value by comprehensively evaluating sales and real estate such as tickets, broadcasting rights, and licenses. It is similar to the economical magazine Forbes.
