Let's Lay Off That Throttle

Right because other than the Braves it's not available, correct?

These are all SWAGs, but seem like they're in the right ballpark. My point is without down-to-the-penny "accuracy" (which can obfuscated by a semi-competent accountant anyway) you can still speak to the numbers in generalities. That's my point.

They are the only publicly traded team from what I recall, so they're the only team compelled to release the numbers.

Also, the Braves reported a $641 M revenue, with $582 M in baseball revenue according to this quote from the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

The Forbes number is $473 M, so obviously they are using different accounting, and if we don't know what they're excluding it makes it hard to guess at what teams would have higher usable revenue based on the excluded factors.

Totally fair.

I know. The Mets, Blue Jays and Padres really look like assholes here.

And the Mariners. With their history and that young pitching?
