Forbes Ranked Dodgers 2nd-Most Valuable MLB Franchise

Despite the 2020 Major League Baseball season being shortened and played without fans due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the value of teams continued to soar.

According to Forbes, team values increased to an all-time high average of $1.9 billion this year, which is up 3% from the previous year.

The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the 2021 season with an estimated $3.57 billion valuation. That was good for the second-highest in all of baseball, trailing only the New York Yankees, who are worth $5.25 billion.

The Dodgers were valued at $3.4 billion last year and $3.3 billion in 2019. Guggenheim Baseball Management paid $2.15 billion to purchase the team in 2012.

While teams thrived from a value standpoint, the lack of gate revenue still had a negative impact on their bottom line. The league as a whole missed out on a reported $1.8 billion last season, in comparison to a $1.5 billion profit the previous year.

Revenue fell 65% but that is expected to increase for all 30 teams next season when MLB’s new national media deals come into effect.

The league is projected to see a 19% annual average increase from 2022 through 2028, with perhaps room for even more growth if they work out TV broadcasting rights agreements with the likes of Amazon and YouTube.
