LAS VEGAS (KSNV) \u2014 A new report has increased the valuation of the Athletics baseball franchise by a hefty sum.<\/p>\n

CNBC on Friday published its estimates on the values of all 30 Major League Baseball clubs for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

Coming in at No. 15<\/a> are the A’s, with a valuation of $2.5 billion.<\/p>\n

That’s a $500 million increase from CNBC’s estimate of $2 billion from a year ago<\/a>, which ranked the A’s 18th in MLB.<\/p>\n

CNBC reports that the A’s had $324 million in revenue for the 2025 season. Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization are believed to be $2 million.<\/p>\n

Last season was the A’s first playing home games at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, California. The minor league stadium has a capacity of 14,014.<\/p>\n

For comparison, the highest-valued franchise, the New York Yankees, had $755 million in revenue and $5 million in earnings before other adjustments, according to CNBC.<\/p>\n

The valuation boost comes as the A’s continue to push forward with relocation to Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

The team just wrapped up its annual Big League Weekend exhibition series at Las Vegas Ballpark and will return in June for six regular-season games.<\/p>\n

Construction also continues on the A’s Las Vegas Strip stadium. The team says development remains on track for the 2028 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LAS VEGAS (KSNV) \u2014 A new report has increased the valuation of the Athletics baseball franchise by a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":540688,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-540687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=540687"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540687\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/540688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=540687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=540687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=540687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
