It's good to be Arte Moreno, who made a $180 million purchase of the Angels in 2003 and now has the 8th most valuable franchise in MLB.
Forbes has released its annual list of MLB franchise valuations. It's currently a click-hell laden slog that will get re-keyed into simple text format soon. I'll do it myself if I cannot find something far more accessible in a day or so. of course, we have the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox and Giants at the top. The Angels come in at 8th place, valued at $1.34 billion. That is the same 8th place as last year, but $40 million more in equity in spite of the image/organizational chaos of 2015 and the continuing decline in attendance.
