Both teams in the ALCS are basically holding 'FOR SALE' signs next to their logos. Both the Angels and Twins are on the market. How much does their team value increase with the national exposure of a playoff run?

If Carl Pohlad wanted money to contract, he could sell the Twins for a lot more with another World Series title than he could get from MLB via contraction. Same with the Angels. If Disney needs fast cash, seeing the Angels win a title could make their eagerness to sell the team look like a drug dealer surrounded by crackheads with full wallets. Yah, that is a delicious anaology.

Imagine the motivation Pohlad could give the Twins players, "Hey, if you jerks win the Series and the value of the club goes up at least $25 million, I'll sell the team to the first guy who dusts himself off fresh from a turnip truck dump."
