In other words, the Yankees will see a 5% increase that should keep their rights fees in line with the market, unless another explosion occurs (just as likely, however, is a deceleration of fees). As a result, the Yankees will be receiving $350 million by 2042, which is a staggering figure. Undoubtedly, News Corp.’s ability and willingness to commit to such a long-term contract was a key part of the deal. The Yankees had likely reached a crossroads regarding the YES network and may have determined that they had taken the network as far as possible with out a media partner. Now, they not only have a partner capable of increasing the value of their investment (the team will likely retain a stake regardless), but making steadily increasing cash payments for the next 30 years.
