The big money in baseball is the cable TV contracts (Steinbrenner's YES network, for example). These are negotiated by each individual team. That's what the whole big-market/small-market thing is all about.

I know, and some people still don't get it. MLB is not some pristine capitalistic model; it has massive financial inequities that I think should be addressed. Local TV revenue is square one. No owner should receive more revenue simply by virtue of geography.
