Hey all, the GF Chaunceys have replaced the Akron Zips. We have a very bad team, and are looking to get better. Will be active. Let me know if anything jumps out of interest to you.

I mean, I guess if only a few thousand people read ESPN, MLB.com, The Athletic, mlbtraderumors and the Washington Post. I could go on but I'm pretty sure those sites count as 'widely reported.'

And widely reported my ass. It was not even on this site he was even injured. I bet only a few thousand people knew he was that hurt outside of the Nationals organization and his family.

Trades should be reversed ONLY if collusion is thought. Not because others are butt hurt they did not have the players to my a deal or even make an offer. You do not like the deal but the 2 parties involved do. That is all that truly matters. Your hurt feelings do not and there was no collusion. Does not much matter though. I can make the same or slightly different offer again if reversed.

You liked the haul until Cade Cavalli was DL'd? Cavalli was injured two weeks ago and it was widely reported at the time that he was going to undergo Tommy John surgery. You accepted the trade two days ago so even a two minute search would have given you that info.
But, ultimately what matters is that the league voted to veto the deal. It received 6 vetoes and one person stated they mistakenly hit approve when they meant to veto. The trade should be reversed.

I received, Cavalli who is the #1 SP in the Nationals system, the #3 third base prospect & #33 overall in Mead, the #2 overall selection in the 2021 draft in Jack Leiter & I got the #4 SP prospect in baseball and #16 prospect overall, Daniel Espino. I like that haul of prospects.

...to accept. Dont get upset because someone traded me, pieces I found acceptable for 2 other players YOU all had every chance to receive as well.

I am not NEW to the league. I too over a different team. This team had very little and what it did have was old. I am building for the future. I picked up Cole @ $43 and turned it into a nice haul of prospects. Might I have been better off trading Nestor separately? Perhaps but I liked the deal I got until Cavilli was DL'ed. Shit happens. Unfortunate for me but again, shit happens. I made it know They both were available and I only got 2 offers for Cole. One of which at the time I liked enough..

AND-i offered to send him someone other than Cavelli, but he declined.
-
And we started talking deal BEFORE I got named commissioner
-
For those interested, it was his deal, new commissioner or not.
-
I mistakenly voted “approve” for that extremely lopsided trade - it was right before bed and I made a mistake. I can’t change my vote but wanted to post here so the commissioner knows I intended to veto the trade.
-
On a trade-related note, if you do make me an offer and need a quick response send it in the morning if you’re in the States. I’m 6 hours ahead of the eastern time zone in the states so if you offer too late in the day, I probably won’t see it until the next day.
-
Yeah, it’s definitely not looking good. Remember you have the option to veto it if you want.
-
Just so everyone is aware- the accepted trade is so bad/lopsided that there is a post on the Ottoneu message board about it.
The fact that the new commissioner made the trade with a person who just joined the league makes it look even worse.

Sounds good, Akron! This is my first year in this league and I’m looking forward to it. Thanks for stepping up to take on a bigger role to make sure things run smoothly.
-
and if anyone has a problem with someone in the league, please send me a message rather than fight it out in the message board. hopefully this wont happen, but id rather mediate a resolution behind closed doors than read about it in the press.

also - i would want to weed out people who dont participate and log into the league consistently. i am hoping that we can have a group of people who actively participate, are respectful and make this a great league again. im asking that if someone proposes a trade, PLEASE respond as quickly as possible so that guys can either move on or you can negotiate a good deal. nothing is worse than having a proposal out for days on end.

this also allows everyone to plan accordingly to make sure that as many teams as possible will be able to attend. i realize that no date is always going to work for everyone, but by having a consistent day, you will be able to set your calendars and, barring an emergency, you should be able to attend. this wont be moved because one team cant make it and, by setting this now, we can get the draft day settled without a million messages and emails.

ok - so the first thing i want to do as commissioner is establish a draft day which will be consistent every year and not change. i am leaning towards the second sunday in march. this gives us enough time to fill out all our rosters and allows for transactions for players moved up and down the minor league system. we can set a time of 7p eastern, which allows everyone the opportunity to join and draff their teams. even though the dates will shift, the DAY will be consistent every year.

I have given Zips UNLIMITED POWER over the league. I'm still around but just dont have the time to properly run things smoothly. Good luck this season everyone.

fellas - i am looking at taking over as commissioner of this league. i ran a fantasy sports business many moons ago and have run a very successful fantasy football league for 34 yrs with a waiting list to get in. i want to tighten things up so that the league runs smoothly and we all have fun. at the heart, this is a game. i know we all pay to play, but it is just a game.

You’re right, man. Sorry for jumping on it like that. I’m actually really excited for the season.

C'mon guys this is a fun game, let's be civilized and have a nice season

Hey I’m really sorry for missing out on the draft. I had something come up with work and couldn’t get away from it. I’m happy with many of the people who are still free agents. But I’m very open to trades where I take on salary from y’all since I have a literal butt ton available.

Yes it was on you, and you almost made the whole league paid for it. It give this league a bad reputation when players start doing this, especially a day before the draft. At least you apologized, welcome back.
-
I was late and lost my team. I was not happy but it was on me. I figured I would wait until the draft and see if the league was in a pinch for owner(s). KC was still open today with the draft a few hours from beginning so, like herpes, I am back.

Welcome to the league! Last year was my first season... planning to stick around awhile.
-
Hey guys, excited to join in on this league. I went ahead and cut a few overpriced guys and am hoping to have a good season. Also hoping to stick in this league a while so it won’t be a revolving door at least for every spot.
-
I told him that I wasnt cutting players and he didnt like that answer.
-
this league is becoming a revolving door. why was he so pissed off? why werent his questions answered?
-
Rosters are currently locked so he is supposed to have to wait until after the draft to be able to cut players and get compliant with the cap rules.

I was going to let the draft pass and then he can make cuts to get compliant before the season. Is there any opposition to this? Otherwise, how do we determine who to cut for him?
-
It probably would be a good idea to cut players off the roster to get it to being compliant prior to the draft.
