[Wes Mantooth]

At least the Pirates do have the small market angle to play.

Fwiw, here's the 5 highest TV deals (per year) in the MLB:

-Dodgers @ 239 million
-Angels @ 138 million
-White Sox @ 120 million
-Yankees @ 115 million
-Red Sox @ 104 million

And here's the Pirates:

Pirates @ 44 million (24th in the league)

In the NFL all of these numbers are equally shared.

PS In case you wondering... Reds @ 48 million
