MLB Revenue

Does anyone know where I could find the baseball industry's 2009 revenue (or expected revenue), as well as each individual team's revenue? Also, does anyone happen to know what percentage of that revenue was used towards MLB player's salaries or minor league player's salaries and bonuses? I am really interested to see which teams are pocketing money from revenue sharing and not reinvesting that money into their minor league systems like they are supposed to do (or even investing in their major league systems).

Not a chance
MLB teams keep that guarded closely under lock and key. The best you will find is Forbes or someone else estimating those numbers.
Don't believe the lies Bill!!!! look at the sparkly ERA!!! Sparkly, Sparkly!!! - McCovey Chronicles
Forbes' numbers
Marlins lead the pack with $43M estimated net income.
MLB, of course, hotly contests the idea that the owners aren’t going broke because the greedy players are taking all their money. Between Forbes and the owners, I know which one I’m more likely to trust…
Yeah, it's a private industry
It has no reason to release it’s numbers. That’s why the Packers (publicly owned team) are such a fascinating organization: they release all of their financial records.
not exactly what you are looking for
but
