It's been as much as 10x in the last few years. Not that 7x is very good. Keep in mind that the Yankees also payed 100 million in revenue sharing to other teams. It truly is killing the sport, baseball needs a salary cap - bad, and get back to having only a 2x difference between the top teams and bottom teams - lets say 120 million top to 60 M bottom, or even 140M - 70 M would work. Of course, there's some baseball teams out there that don't want to spend 60-70M
How they get that kind of revenue from such a boring, dull "sport" is another question. (but I suppose that's just my opinion)
