The Brewers’ deep playoff run in 2018 has done wonders for the team’s value, at least according to the updated team valuations released by Forbes today.
Every team in baseball is now worth at least $1 billion, according to the financial magazine’s calculations, with the Brewers being valued at $1.175 billion.
That’s still one of the lower valuations in the league — the Brewers rank 24th, ahead of only Cleveland, Oakland, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Tampa Bay and Miami — but their value increased by 14% with their run to Game 7 of the NLCS, tied with Boston for the second-highest value jump in the past year, and behind only the Yankees, who are now worth an estimated $4.
