Companies often keep money in things like because they are long-term investments that they can cash into during emergencies. I don't think Nintendo should give up the Mariners.

"But they continue to rack up huge wins in the mighty pocketbook, having more than doubled franchise value since the 2008 stock market meltdown despite putting some of the worst teams in franchise history on the field. At the start of the 2009 season, Forbes assessed the Mariners at a value of $426 million — well down from a year earlier with a 101-loss season at a $117 million payroll helping cause that."

That was after a season where they 71-91. They then finished last year with 87 wins, missing the playoffs by just 1 game. The team is seriously on the uprise in the AL West.

As of March 2014 they were valued at over $700M. Nintendo purchased them for just $100M.
