The Phillies and Pirates are among the bottom third in paying suppliers within the agreed terms, according to a report released by Creditsafe, a global business intelligence firm based in Allentown.
The study looked at the overall creditworthiness of all 30 MLB teams, as well as how quickly each paid their bills in the first quarter of 2017.
According to the study, the Baltimore Orioles rank as the most financially stable MLB team, as well as the only team with a perfect credit score. At the other end of the spectrum, the Chicago Cubs and The Los Angeles Dodgers both receive the lowest rating due in part to prior bankruptcies.
