File this one under the “breaking news” category: the Yankees are worth $1.6 billion, almost twice as much as the No. 2 team in baseball, the Red Sox:

↵The Yankees were valued at $1.6 billion, Forbes said Wednesday, up 7 percent from a $1.5 billion value last year.
↵↵Boston was next, going up 4 percent to $870 million and was followed by the New York Mets, who dropped 6 percent to $858 million. The Los Angeles Dodgers, caught in divorce proceedings of its owners, were fourth with a 1 percent increase to $727 million.

↵The list actually looks a lot like SB Nation’s MLB power rankings -- Yankees and Red Sox at the top, while teams like the Pirates, Padres and Royals float around at the bottom.
↵Except for that Mets at No. 3 thing. That’s just never going to happen in the SB Nation MLB power rankings.
