Major League Baseball may lose billions to the coronavirus shutdown, but its clubs appear to be on firm footing according to Forbes' latest list of franchise values released.
The financial publication estimated that 28 of 30 MLB clubs appreciated in value in 2019.
The New York Yankees once again top the list, appreciating 9% to $5 billion in total value.
According to Forbes, the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, worth an estimated $5.5 billion, are the only sports franchise in the world worth more than the Yanks.
Forbes predicted on Thursday that strong recent profits will "help offset any downturn from the delayed season."
