T14. San Francisco Giants: $2 Billion
North American sports leagues such as Major League Baseball are built upon structures of parity that are supposed to give every team a chance to win a championship each season. Somebody forgot to give the San Francisco Giants the memo, as the Giants are currently on a run that has seen the club be the best of the best every other year. A different side should theoretically win it all come this fall, but San Francisco will likely have something to say about that by the time October rolls around. The Giants are one of the most stable franchises located in the United States in 2015, and they play in a great baseball market.
T14. Chicago Bulls: $2 Billion
Chicago is truly a tremendous sports town for many reasons. Local fans follow their clubs year in and year out even during letdown seasons, and that has especially been the case with the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls have yet to take that “next step” and ascend into Eastern Conference greatness as have the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers over the past five years. While the Bulls have a solid foundation that could make for a championship roster, all eyes will still be on Cleveland and on LeBron James. The Bulls have not been able to top James when it has mattered most. Will that change in the spring of 2016?
