Several weeks ago, Max Rieper and I wrote a piece saying that you should be skeptical of the Royals front office claims of losing $30-35M a year. In that we focused primarily on the bottom line or net income. That piece generated a lot of discussion, but I don’t think we focused enough necessarily on how much money the Royals made, instead looking at how much they retained at the bottom line.
So here, in this piece, I’ll try to come up with a rough estimate of just how much money the Royals make and then bring it back around with a re-evaluation of what they keep after everything is paid for.
