This article explains the various ways Major League Baseball teams make money. It covers six main revenue streams: ticket sales from fans attending games; TV and media deals worth billions of dollars; merchandise sales like jerseys and caps; food and beverage sales at stadiums; corporate sponsorships and advertising; and MLB's revenue sharing system that helps smaller market teams compete. The article uses simple examples to illustrate concepts, like how a team can make $2.5 million from ticket sales in a single game, or how the Dodgers earn $320 million annually just from TV rights. It emphasizes how revenue sharing promotes fairness in the league by helping smaller-market teams compete with larger ones.
