Forbes: Cardinals named MLB's 10th-most valuable franchise

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:38:08 GMT

ST. LOUIS - A new report from Forbes ranked all 30 MLB teams in value with some mixed meanings for the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals were ranked the league's 10th-most valuable franchise heading into the 2023 season, though dropped three spots in rankings from one season ago. The Cardinals franchise is worth $2.55 billion this year compared to $2.45 billion last year, according to Forbes. That marks an increased value of nearly 4%, which is the second-lowest among 2022 postseason squads and lower than the average 12% rise in value among MLB teams. Trending: Missouri’s top barbecue joint is in St. Louis, according to Yelp Perhaps the biggest setback for the Cardinals in these rankings is the recent bankruptcy filing of Diamond Sports Group, the entity that owns TV broadcast partner Bally Sports Midwest. The Cardinals had been on contract to make $1 billion through 2032 from their latest TV deal that took effect in 2017. The bankruptcy filing puts the Cardinals at risk of havi...

Opinion: “The Hot Tub Mountain Lion” was curious and confused not sinister and stalking

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:38:08 GMT

First there was “Cocaine Bear,” and now we have Hot Tub Mountain Lion.A Colorado mountain lion made national headlines after surprising a vacationing couple Saturday night as they soaked in a hot springs pool in Chaffee County, as reported in The Denver Post and news outlets across the nation.Some of the stories, including the Washington Post, cast the mountain lion as a sinister “intruder.” He was a dark figure who “snuck up” and “attacked” the humans. It’s not that dissimilar to the awful movie about a savage bear going around killing people.But was he, and did he? Or she? The mountain lion I mean, not the imaginary stoned bear.It happened at about 8 p.m., as cougars actively hunt deer and elk from dusk to dawn, in a quiet subdivision west of Nathrop —a tree-lined canyon beneath 14,000-foot Collegiate Peaks. There were plenty of deer and a creek where the lion had been, all of which flips the aged script that the predator was out of place, stalking humans. It’s much more likely th...
