For every team? Ive found some info here and there, but I think because they are private companies they wouldnt have to release this info to the public/media, unless it was positive info. Obviously they have to give this info to investors, who in turn could leak it to the media, but I dont know if this actually happens or not.

Im asking because Ive seen in papers that Oakland turns a decent profit every year, while the Yankees run at almost a loss every year. Can anyone help out here? If there was info online anywhere that would be a big help, thanks.

There was a tread that had a Forbes link that showed a %pie for each team. Couldn't find it though, did find this at Forbes.

Forbes (http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/33/Rank_1.html) Ha, I ain't to bright. Just click on the teams name and you get the %pie and a read on each team.
