The Financials

Forbes has released its 2007 valuations of the Major-League teams, and they have determined that not only do the Marlins "bring up the rear, with a relatively meager franchise value of $256 million" but, in comparasion to the highest-rated team, that "the Yankee brand -- the portion of the team's value attributable to its name -- alone is worth $241 million, almost as much as the entire Marlins franchise".

Speaking of financials, Henry linked to in his blog the work of Jorge Costales, CPA, which was a post from his own new blog. That blog - "Florida Marlins Finances" - endevors to understand the Marlins' financial statements (good luck), with some snappy commentary and many links to other sites.
