DENVER (KDVR) — The Colorado Rockies are worth over a billion dollars, but based on a new Forbes study, that’s not a lot of money when it comes to major sports teams.

Forbes released a list of the most valuable baseball teams in 2025, with the New York Yankees topping the list as the first MLB team to reach over $8 billion. This achievement comes three years after the NFL and one year after the NBA. Meanwhile, the report noted that MLB team values are also rising to a record average of $2.6 billion.

Here’s how much each team is worth:

San Francisco Giants – $4 billion

New York Mets – $3.2 billion

Toronto Blue Jays – $2.15 billion

Washington Nationals – $2.1 billion

Chicago White Sox – $2 billion

Pittsburgh Pirates – $1.35 billion

Despite hitting a new record of 100 losses in one season and finishing the first and second-worst seasons in history, the Rockies have had consistent Colorado fans. However, the Rockpile show outs still aren’t enough, as the Rockies are still ranking as one of the least valuable teams in the MLB, based on the Forbes study.

Forbes said some clubs have significantly increased their value, like the A’s, with a 50% increase in worth. Yet, there are four teams with a flat year-over-year, including the Cardinals, Mariners, Rays and Rockies.

According to the study, baseball’s overall growth is lagging behind other major sports teams due to factors like the media rights landscape, the lack of a true salary cap and labor uncertainty.
