According to the latest evaluation from FORBES magazine, the Red Sox are
the fifth most valuable MLB franchise in 2018. Not surprisingly,
The Bronx Embalmers top the list at $4 billion in value, followed
distantly by the Dodgers at a valuation of "just" $3 billion. Third on the list are the Cubbies at $2.9 billion, while the Giants come in fourth at $2.85 billion. The Red Sox are at number five—valued at $2.8 billion. So, the next time
John Henry cries poor-mouth, ask him for a couple of hundred million—just for a week or so to tide you over. The 2017 World Series Champion Astros clock in at #11 on the list—valued at $1.65 billion. Dead
last on the valuation list are—you guessed it—the lowly Tampa Bay Rays, coming in at a paltry $900 million. Gee, it looks like the hardball industry is in pretty good shape.
