Once again, MLB set a record for revenue in a season:
Major League Baseball continues to hit home runs on the business side. According to sources at the league, 2017 marks the 15th consecutive year MLB has seen record gross revenues, surpassing the $10 billion mark for the first time. By comparison, the league saw revenues approaching $9.5 billion at the end of the 2015 season.
The growth is due in large part to baseball’s compelling postseason play over the last several years, media rights—both traditional television and digital–and continued labor peace.
What to do with all that money? I say pay the hitters and pitchers to play faster.
