The Major League Baseball offseason has seen plenty of big-name players change teams via free agency or trade.
While fans may follow the sport in the offseason, it is sometimes hard to tell how it is doing as a whole during the slower months.
MLB has seen many changes in the rules and pace of play over the past couple of seasons, and this may have fans wondering how it has affected the sport overall.
Insider Matt Snyder recently reported that Major League Baseball hit a record high with $12.1 billion in revenues in 2024.
“The league is incredibly healthy right now and revenues have gone up more than 33 percent in the last 10 years,” CBS Sports wrote, via Foul Territory.

It appears that MLB made the right choice in implementing rule changes to speed up the pace of play and give fans more action with less time in between.
Though inflation could play a part in the record revenue, it appears the game is doing well overall.
Big-market teams play a major role in the sport, and having the Los Angeles Dodgers play the New York Yankees in the 2024 World Series was likely a dream scenario for the business side.
It will be interesting to see how the numbers look after the 2025 season to see if the increasing revenues continue.
That season is getting closer as baseball fans look forward to Opening Day.
