So below average.

15th out of 30 overall.

Take that with a huge grain of salt. The valuation includes the portion of MASN owned by the Orioles ownership group and the idea that we have any sense of that valuation with the uncertainty of the MASN lawsuit is laughable.

And where does that stand?

Looking at the valuation page I am not sure MASN is included.

Sport $322 M

Market $412 M

Stadium $158 M

Brand $109 M

15 out of 30.

Right in the middle for a mid-market team.

I was referring to the case.

I know.

I am not sure the valuation of the Orioles includes the share in MASN since technically the team doesn't own MASN the people who own the team own MASN.

That is strange, though. Maybe part of the brand?

Gotcha

According to the article, the value includes non-baseball assets such as RSN ownership.

According to the article, the value includes non-baseball assets such as RSN ownership.

But technically the team doesn't own the RSN.

I think the Orioles + MASN should be valued rather higher then 1B.

From 2013:

A new report by Bloomberg values the ballclub at $1.12 billion when factoring in the team’s majority stake in regional sports network MASN.

The idea that the O's have LOST value runs counter to the article.

[TonySoprano]

I'm wondering if "market" includes MASN. $245M in revenue also puts them in 15th. 61% increase in value in 1-year?

This is the key otherwise we'd get a higher valuation than what was shown in the Bloomberg piece.
