Daniel Roberts of Front Office Sports Joins Kelley Franco to Talk Valuation and Revenue in MLB
Description
In this episode of the Three Inning Fan Show with Kelley Franco, Dan Roberts, Editor in Chief of Front Office Sports, dives in deep on the business side of MLB. Dan uses his expertise on sports revenue and valuations to delve into MLB franchise valuations and why they lag other sports, and links it to MLB revenue versus other professional leagues. He talks about Commissioner Manfred’s changes to the game and how they have affected revenue, and how baseball benefits from its most marketable stars – but could use more. He also gets into MLB’s TV rights deals and what the future could hold for them. Dan and Kelley discuss the looming labor negotiations for owners and the players union, a possible salary cap, and who stands to lose more in a work stoppage. And of course… Dan tells us what’s good to eat while watching the ballgame, and the Boston fan just can’t resist poking the Yankees, even if it’s about their stadium food.*Music by Podington Bear
