Happy Holidays Boys! Cheers. 🍻

I think he is in the clear as he declined a plane ride from Diddy #momoneymonproblems

If Commish's "good-guy Shohei" version of events is the truth, which it well could be, my first question for his lawyers would be: when are you all going to finally learn that the cover up (almost) always buys more trouble than the truth?

very true @roar, but you'll get no effing breaks in this league. you lost your entire MI in the last six months and I wonder if you're keyboard pounding mad. this Ohtani business has pushed you over the edge.
-
I'm sorry, but give me an effing break about gambling and professional sports. MLB has not 1 but at least 2 "official sports betting partners." MLB *INVESTED* in Draft Kings in 2013! Sportsbooks advertise during team broadcasts. I know that the Orioles TV crew reads off betting odds during the game! Obviously a player can't be betting on his own team but the hand-wringing here is just a tad hypocritical.

Regardless, he is still welcome to sock some dingers for the Rime. We have no betting policy on our team - anything goes!
-
It's sad that the best-case scenario for Shohei is that he was massively swindled by the person who seemed to have been his best friend. My money (oops, betting metaphor) is still on good-guy Shohei helping Ippei out and not realizing it would get him in so much trouble, then lawyers and everyone (including Ippei) agreeing it was best to pretend he knew nothing.
-
Yes the translator does much more than just translating. But the fact that they kind if walked back some of the things Ippei said at the very beginning makes the whole thing a lot more suspicious to me. I’d really love to believe Ohtani but I guess we’ll see.
-
Because his English is not fluent and the translator said hey I’ll handle for you make your life easier. Daniel Park who translated for Mets talked about it on ESPN.
-
People are sneaky, Cutch!

I believe Ohtani as well - but - I just don’t understand how his friend/translator/ had access to his account. I don’t even give my wife access to our account (JK there).
-
It's not a good look to be in front of that many cameras, but I for one believe Shohei, not the gambling fiend.

What are you talking about? He came off fine. Feel bad for how his trust was violated by a “friend”
-
…he probably had a bet on O/U 0.5 cameras in the room. Yikes!
-
Ohtani situation is *Not* looking good…
-
Haha
-
Still got my guy, despite the "fun fact" announcement!
-
Interesting fact about Gabe Speier: last year he set an all time record for first pitch strike percentage.
-
Oh that explains that. I feel better about my draft prep and worse about my post draft awareness. I tuned out for a couple days there.
-
Junior C. wasn't available in the draft. Carried over from last year by SV. Put on waivers after the draft.

I wasn't around when was on waivers. I got ridiculously outbid for him in my other league last year and I decided that wasn't going to happen again. And I didn't notice him among the free agents prior to our draft.
-
Everyone missed the waiver period on Caminero, and then he went for way more, huh? Also lol @Roar, that makes me feel a little better
-
Nah, it's cool. His bookie is accepting deferred payments in 2047, so the debt is actually only $5.27 in today's dollars

Yeah, that Shohei and his interpreter episode has a bit of a troubling vibe to it, eh? Get your stories straight...

That he did! And yet, he's not the Japanese Dodger I'm most worried about today.
-
@Rime, it appears Yamamoto took care of your waiver claim quandary.
-
Happy New Year!!
-
Woo, first place! Wait… that means I’m last in waiver / auction tiebreaker
-
Happiness is your late signing star pitcher landing in another pitcher-friendly home park. Thank you, Scott Boras!

Mookie for President | Betts | Glasnow Election!
-
We missed you and your four spots to fill! Also sorry Jack K, didn't see the message, but it seems like you got in ok.
-
Bummer to miss the draft. I would’ve liked to see the bidding on Mookie up to $73. While the name is undetermined, getting his guys isn’t.

I'm locked out of the draft
-
I believe we have up to 170 open roster spots, should people choose to use them. You can also fill up later via the usual 48-hour auctions.
-
Draft dayyyy
-
Well, Cutch, if you're gonna create your own players, see what you can do to roll a Character score of some value...

@Saint I just make up my own players! … maybe Cole injury sucks - Yankees have had some bad luck over the last few years w/ pitchers!
-
But, maybe you have his younger brother, Noveli?

Cutch, who would you rather have (or who will miss fewer games this season): Noelvi Marie or Gerritt Cole?

my scouts always scout the best players who get popped for PEDS. Ohh Noveli

I don't suppose The New New Baddoo has any chance....

Cruel Tribute added to list of possible team names
-
Hang on a sec. Is Chris back?!? Or is this some sort of cruel tribute?
-
The 13th Marquess of Groppoli may never have competed in fantasy baseball. But if the NFBC’s recent kerfuffle, and now your disturbing revelation don’t make you wonder if this is why. #shook

A quick tale of a more devious commissioner than our own fine Rime: first fantasy league I played in back in '05 was a Yahoo head-to-head 5x5; mid-season I made a trade with that commissioner that ended up being vetoed. Thought it odd 'cause I hadn't seen that happen, but whatever. About a week later, I'm talking to my brother, also in the league, and he let slip that the commish called around and asked league members to veto his own trade...

Corbin to the O's! The big deal happens one day after our deadline.

3/17 is perfect! Thanks.

10/12. Who are we missing? Carlos and Cutch?
