Forbes Releases List of Most Valuable MLB Teams in 2022, New York Yankees and LA Dodgers Top the List

The New York Yankees might not be having their best time in the last few years. But when it comes to the financial side of the game, no team is even close to the Yankees. As always, this time again, the Yankees have been ranked as the most valuable MLB team by Forbes.

As per the Forbes’ list of the most valuable baseball team, the New York Yankees are on top, followed by the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox. The results are quite surprising, given the Yankees’ current scenario in the league.

While one would’ve expected a decrease in the numbers, the Yankees’ valuation has surprisingly climbed by 14% in 2022. It goes without saying, other teams are miles behind The Bronx Bombers.

Despite a recent 13-year trophy haul, no one can deny that the Yankees are the most successful franchise in Major League Baseball. And even after their fiasco in the last few years in MLB, the Yankees are still a brand and a force to be reckoned with. 

According to Forbes’ list of the most valuable MLB teams in 2022, the New York Yankees are worth a total of $6 billion, a 14% hike from their last year’s valuation. While the LA Dodgers and Boston Red Sox are worth $4 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively.

Among all teams, only the Yankees have touched the $6 billion mark, while the rest are below the $4 billion mark, except the Dodgers ($4.075 billion).

Also, as per this list by Forbes, the most surprising name is the Houston Astros’. Despite their recent success on the field, they are not even in the top 10 most valuable MLB franchises. While other mid-table teams like New York Mets, St. Louis Cardinals, and San Francisco Giants managed to get a spot on the list.

The current World Series winner, Atlanta Braves, also struggled to make the top-10 list. With a $2.1 billion valuation, the Braves are the 10th most valued MLB team in 2022.
