The top-5 of this ranking ends with the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants in 4th and 5th place respectively. Personally, I didn’t think the Giants were worth that much. The top 10 includes the New York Mets ($2.3 billion), the St. Louis Cardinals ($2.1 billion), the Los Angeles Angels ($1.9 billion), the Philadelphia ($1.850 billion) and the Houston Astros ($1.775 billion).
