We have just a little over 3 hours until the keeper deadline! At midnight, your team salary must be below $400 AND you must have at least $1 available for every open roster spot. If you want to work out a last-minute deal, get at me!

Ok everyone. Keeper deadline is midnight on the 31st, so you've got about 60 hours to make your cuts!

Yep. Started the season strong then kinda checked out. Team is marked as abandoned and is now available to be claimed. If a new owner is found before the January 31 keeper deadline, he WILL be allowed to make arb allocations. Trading is open!

Four teams still need to complete arbitration. You have one more week to get it done.

Ok everyone - arbitration began last Saturday and is open through November 14. I'm pretty sure everyone knows how this works, including the new owners. You MUST make your allocations. Because this process is critical for league parity, you MUST make allocations. If you miss this deadline, you'll be dropped from the league. Allocations can be made and then altered at any time before the deadline.

Good evening guys. I just claimed Friars Forever. Say hello to Long Gone. I'm new to the 4x4 format and looking forward to the challenge of turning this team around.

Hi all, I just claimed SkyDog off the available teams page--I assume/hope it was available? Anyhow, excited to try the 4x4 format.

Thanks guys! I felt like I spent the whole summer trying to chase down Columbus and I never count out Zeezils. It was a fun race and my team had some good luck with health.
I look forward to trying for the repeat next year.
-
Congrats Clyde! You really dominated on the pitching side!
-
Congratulations to Friends O'Clyde for taking home the trophy this year! A completely dominating pitching staff, bolstered by a big July trade, and continued active roster management throughout the season led to their second title in six years. They started slow, but raced up the standings in June and July. From then on, it was a back and forth with the Columbus Baby Bears for the league lead; only seizing the lead for good on September 25. It was a great race and a job well done!

I'm looking to move Freddy Peralta before the end of the weekend - send me your offers!
-
Lol! It started off as a pretty straightforward 3-for-3 swap and things kind of snowballed from there. What I can I say - you have to make your own entertainment down at this end of the league!
-
Seems like we had another big trade earlier this season with maybe 10 players involved but 16 players has to be a record!

Haha, never seen a trade quite like that one!

The auction is Tuesday, March 29 at 8:30 pm ET which was the night with the widest availability (an unfortunately low 8 of 11 responses). If you are not able to make it, there are some options such as getting a friend to do it or by going on the Ottoneu community site and seeking a proxy to bid for you. There are people out there who actually do this - they find it fun and informative. Let me know if this is something you'd like to pursue. Fourteen days until auction and 23 until real baseball!

Update on the auction - we have 7 respondents so far, 0 days of 100% availability, and only 3 days with availability for 6 out of the 7 (Sat 3/19, Tue 3/22, and Tue 3/29). If you have yet to fill this out, please give extra flexibility to those dates as they are the front-runners. But be flexible in general! I think current respondents can also edit their responses if things change.

Hell yeah! I just sent out a league-wide message regarding the free agent auction, so check your email. The most important point is that you need to fill out your auction availability ASAP. I'd like to get this set soon. Here is the link: https://forms.gle/Avwbw3Fb3CjdETxj8

First two series cancelled :(

We will wait to schedule the auction until there is some clarity on the season. I will send out a scheduling link when that time comes. So, until then, there is really zero to do here. Thus, we end one of the best parts of the fantasy season and enter the worst. See you all on the other side, whenever that may be...

The deadline is usually January 31. It was delayed until February 15, which was yesterday. Rosters are locked between now and the auction.

Due to lockout, Ottoneu Fantasy Baseball keeper deadline delayed. That is right at the top of the page yet my roster is locked?

I'd prefer to wait as well.
-
Waiting definitely sounds like the best strategy. We all have too much invested in our rosters to be bidding on players with such uncertainty surrounding them right now.
-
I think waiting is good plan. It's too hard right now to properly value MLB free agents - and there'll be plenty of trades to come too.
-
Now that keepers are locked, we set our sights on the auction draft. This league typically aims to hold the auction in mid-March, given an MLB Opening Day of roughly April 1. But with a delayed start inevitable, I think we ought to shoot for a later draft so that we can make bids k with better information on FA landing spots, injuries, etc. At this point, I am inclined to wait to even schedule the auction until there is some idea of when the season might start.

Keeper deadline is in 4 hours. Rosters must be legal by that time (after accounting for any trades that are agreed to prior to the deadline).
Zeezils on
February 15, 2022 8:05 PM

Hey all - just a reminder that the keeper deadline is February 15 at 11:59 pm Eastern. That is next Tuesday. At that point, rosters will need to be in compliance with cap rules, are locked until the auction draft, and all cuts will incur the standard cap penalty. So, get your last-minute trades in! But of course, with the lockout, Ottoneu may extend the keeper deadline. It is shown in the teal bar on the league home page. What an offseason for this league; nice job everyone!

I just adjusted the salaries per Arlen's allocations. For Pablo Lopez, the salary adjustment is showing up as a "move", but I think that's a mistake and is somehow pulling in that he was traded to Optimistic Fantasy a couple weeks ago. I believe current ownership and salary is correct for him. Please verify and point out if you think I've made any errors. That finally wraps up arbitration for this offseason!

Arb allocations: Ohtani (Columbus) -3, Soto (Zeez) - 3 , Ray (Clyde) - 3, Tork (Bando) - 1, Winker (Skydog) - 3, Julio Urias (14th St) - 1, Pablo Lopez (Optimistic) - 3, Kelenic (Taco) - 1, Vlad Jr (Friars) - 3, Marte (Skulls) - 1, Trout (Schmohawks) - 3

PSA: Make sure you renew your team by paying your dues by January 31! I see that about a third of us have paid.

I had to boot Abandoned since he hasn't logged back in since the day he claimed the team and hasn't answered emaails. So, still looking to fill the league. Also, given the lockout, the Ottoneu cut deadline has been moved to Feb 15. You can see this at the top of every page. Nice offseason everyone! So. Many. Trades.
