UPDATE On January 4, 2005, team owner Arte Moreno announced that the team would change its name to "The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim." Moreno believes that the name change will allow the team to tap into a larger marketing area in the greater Los Angeles community. Commissioner Bug Selig has approved the name change, but there are pending lawsuits by the city to enjoin the team, requiring the name to remain "The Anaheim Angels." The city sued arguing that the lease precludes the change, while the team argues that by leaving "Anaheim" in the name, the change satisfies the terms of the lease. NAMING RIGHTS In early 2004 Edison International exercised their option to terminate their 20-year, $50 million naming rights agreement with the Anaheim Angels.

  • THE ROI of ESCALATING PLAYER SALARIES in MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: the IMPACT of PAYROLL on FRANCHISE VALUATION by John A. Eastman
    THE ROI OF ESCALATING PLAYER SALARIES IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: THE IMPACT OF PAYROLL ON FRANCHISE VALUATION by John A. Eastman Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Departmental Honors in the Department of Finance Texas Christian University Fort Worth, Texas May 5, 2014 ii THE ROI OF ESCALATING PLAYER SALARIES IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: THE IMPACT OF PAYROLL ON FRANCHISE VALUATION Project Approved: Supervising Professor: Vassil Mihov, Ph.D. Department of Finance George Low, Ph.D. Department of Marketing Peter Locke, Ph.D. Department of Finance iii ABSTRACT This study focused on the impact of payroll investment on the intrinsic value of Major League Baseball franchises. Specifically, I examined how club owners allocate capital to their most crucial and fundamental investment – players – and how payroll impacts teams’ financial and on-field performance. I addressed this question empirically first by examining the financial trends of the MLB as a whole and the thirty organizations within. Given these observations, I created a simple five-variable model of team revenue. Because outstanding research has indicated that revenue should be the basis for valuation of professional sports teams, this model was meant to reflect the strength of payroll as a predictor of franchise value relative to other key variables, particularly market size, winning percentage, club tradition, and home attendance. The results of my analysis supported my hypothesis that payroll would be a strong and statistically significant predictor of revenue and, therefore, value, so long as franchises are to be valued based on their revenues. Implications for owners, researchers who have studied the business of baseball, and fans of the sport in general are discussed.

  • José Ramírez: He Gambled on Himself and Found Stardom by Zack Meisel 1 CLEVELAND — a Yellow Ball Struck the Window of the Library, Which Startled José Ramírez
    José Ramírez: He gambled on himself and found stardom By Zack Meisel 1 CLEVELAND — A yellow ball struck the window of the library, which startled José Ramírez. His eyes widened and the circle of students sitting before him, hanging on the All-Star’s every word and every twitch, erupted in laughter. Little surprises Ramírez anymore. He’s typically a step ahead of pitchers, prepared to pounce on any feeble fastball foolishly fired his way. He’s typically a step ahead of his teammates, as he darts across the dugout after supplying one of his signature smacks to the back of Edwin Encarnacion’s dome. He’s typically a step ahead of his “Mario Kart” opponent, as he waits for the perfect moment to deploy the rogue turtle shell that disrupts their peaceful cruise along the sandy shores of Koopa Troopa Beach. He hasn’t traveled a seamless journey to stardom, though. Ramírez opted to bet on himself around the time he became a teenager, when adults would wager wads of cash on the pint-sized shortstop’s performance in his native Baní in the Dominican Republic. He staked his future on baseball, and he granted himself no margin for error. When Ramírez first sat down in the library, he commended a student for his similar haircut, with blond springs resting atop his head. He then stressed a simple message to the awestruck students: Don’t be like me. Many players receive a hefty signing bonus or devise a secure fallback plan should their baseball pursuit fizzle. Ramírez played the lottery, and he won, and he is The Athletic Cleveland’s 2018 Person of the Year.
