I would bet that is accurate but that is reported revenue, not what was actually made. Jays don't report all their revenue within the baseball team. One big missing piece is the tv contract. Rogers doesn't allocate a dollar of that to the Jays. MLBPA is actually starting to push the Jays and MLB on this because in 2015 they only reported like 3 M or something like that of profit despite the run. Nothing wrong with the way Rogers reports, but you'll never get an accurate picture of the Jays like you will other teams that only Really have the team within their entity. Does the fact that on that list the Braves, Phillies, Pirates, and Mariners made more than the Jays in 2015 not rise your eye brows? The Braves had their worst attendance in the history of Turner Field that year and the Phillies were a bottom dweller that played to a half empty stadium.

The only thing you can really figure out is how much they are charging for games and how many seats are full. They have some priciest tickets in the league while leading the AL in attendance. It's safe to say they are among the top of the league since 2015. Their merchandise sales have to be phenomenal over that period. You can't go two feet anywhere in North America the past two years without bumping into some Jays gear.
