I think you meant to say $244M. I was beginning to think I might be able to buy myself a professional sports franchise for a second.

I think 1.2 B is a little light for the Yanks

Yeah, maybe a few of BBFers could buy a team at that price.

Dontrelle and Miggy Cabrera themselves would be worth more than that. A Manhattan studio is worth twice that much.
The operating costs of the team, including the farm teams, must be pretty high.

We should buy the Marlins. I've got 20 bucks on me.

When it comes to money, nobody in MLB ever tells the truth...ever.
Assume most of those numbers are wrong, one way or the other.
