I think your guess has been confirmed.
jaymoney, you're chosing to ignore some very important numbers. Pan's done a pretty good job of laying some of those out for you, and I'll just add there there are more, like front office salaries, facilities rental, insurance on the whole operation (including on star players, coverage for equipment and buildings and liability), legal fees, equipment rental, advertising and medical costs. Every single team has those costs, and my best guess is that just the ones I've listed run close to $10M.
My wife and kids are very friendly with the in house counsel for the Cubs (they live in our neighborhood). I'll probably be at their house on New Year's Day, and I think I may print out this thread for him and get his opinion. He's the kind of guy that will love something like this.
