  • The Baltimore Orioles are next on the selling block. A deal that has the franchise valued at $1.725 Billion is in place for David Rubenstein to buy the team from the Angelos family. Is this a fair deal? A low deal? Should MLB owners be concerned about this price tag?

    It's really strange how a small market team selling for 1.73 billion is a ''problem''.

      ​@@grahamjl766If the former owners invested that $173 million in a S&P500 account back in 1993 at the 10% it averaged over the past 30 years would be about $3 billion.The Orioles profited almost $65 million in 2022 alone. If the Orioles owner averaged $18 million annually in profits and invested in the exact same stock he would have $3.3 billion plus the $1.73 billion in the sale in 2024. Buying the team in 1993 was safer and more profitable than investing in the stock market which is what David Samson was talking about. If the S&P500 continues to grow at 10% annually for the next 20 years then the new owners will have to profit and invest roughly $170 million annually from the Orioles to beat the stock market. I think the old owners did well on their investment and I think the new owners will regret the price they paid. The only way buying the Orioles in 2024 is a good investment at $1.73 billion is if the new ownership thinks that some combination of the stock market is going to have a major crash and/or the Orioles will have crazy high profits.

      @slava1353 5 месяцев назад

      Also ignores that Orioles made a profit most years. $413m between 2002 - 2022 based on a quick google search. Not sure about 1993 till 2002, but I doubt they lost much money in those years.

    There is so much bad info in this. Masn is not the lowest rated network and Rubenstein DID buy MASN, it will not be owned by the Angelos’ anymore. These guys did not do their homework

  • @Metfan722
    @Metfan722 6 месяцев назад

    The MASN situation sounds VERY similar to that of the Mets and SNY. When buying the team, one thing that was not part of the negotiations was the network. The Wilpons owned and still own that network. I think their contract is up in the near future, and because the people in charge of the team are no longer associated with the network it'll be interesting to see if there is a split between what was essentially a symbiotic relationship between team and network.

    • @hansolyoon1074
      @hansolyoon1074 5 месяцев назад

      They purchased 40% of the team at a $1.73B valuation. Not that they paid $1.73B for a 40% stake.

  • @slava1353
    @slava1353 5 месяцев назад +1

    The idea that $1.75b is too low because original investment was $173m and its not a good return is misleading. At the time Orioles were bought for $173m, Nationals were not taking away a part large part of their market and MASN revenue was not shared. What is also misleading is that as a business, Orioles earn money every year. So the profit is not just the capital gains on the sale of the Club. From 2002 to 2022 Orioles only failed to make money in 4 of those years.

    • @slava1353
      @slava1353 5 месяцев назад

      Based on a quick search I did, Orioles made $413.6m in profit from 2002 - 2022. I wonder what then umbers were in the previous 10 years. I'm also curious if these number include MASN earnings or not.

  • @The_Zilli
    @The_Zilli 6 месяцев назад +1

    anyone ever bother to equate inflation into the price? Probably not. 173m in 1993 is about 340m today. Then apply that across the board and how much did it really increase compared to other sports. Not a heck of a lot which is sad considering that in today's world, live content such as sports is king since it's single use consumption that's really difficult to pirate. MLB, NHL and the NBA are all very poorly run in this day and age.

    • @shawnfitzgerald818
      @shawnfitzgerald818 5 месяцев назад +1

      Plus that particular franchise didn't win during that time. Still can't get over their 1971 starting rotation. All 4 starters had at least 20 wins and 72 complete games! It would cost a fortune to assemble that today!

    MLB concerned over the sale of a team in the age of massive payoffs? What was Ohtani $700 million. Nobody questions that in MLB. MLB should be concerned about taking care of the fans. Like improving their streaming product MLB TV to stop black outs and give single team affordable packages. MLB just seems to always be 3 steps behind. By the way Go Birds and all the best with MASN which is another streaming issue but not far off of my anger issue with MLB and streaming games to fans.

      I immigrated to US from Ukraine in 1990 and I have become a huge Orioles fan. I follow the team the entire season, watch almost every game and follow their roster as well as their prospects in the minor leagues. And Orioles have been bad most of the time I have been a fan. So I don't know how dead baseball really is. They just need a way to capitalize on the sports betting craze and they will be alright.

    One thing confusing me here is that they are completing leaving out the profit made along the way…sure maybe the final sale price wasn’t equal to how the stock market would have performed for the initial 173 million investment. But aren’t they making tens to possibly even hundreds of millions in profit year over year. I get that the market has dividends too but I don’t think it’s anything compared to profit in mlb percentage wise
