King Arthur it is! Congrats on a great season from start to finish. Glad I was able to keep it close most of the week. This is hands-down my favorite league. Kudos to everyone for making it competitive and fun, and extra thanks to Ryan for his steady leadership.
-
Congrats on the win, Arthur. No longer the bridesmaid, finally the bride. And congrats to everyone on a great season. You still have a few days left to make roster moves heading into the off-season. The deadline to nominate players is Oct. 1 at 11:59 p.m. eastern time. If you do make last minute roster moves please leave yourself enough time to drop players and ensure a legal roster heading into the off-season.
-
Congrats, Arthur. It was your season.
-
Congrats to the six teams who made the playoffs. Best of luck to each of you over the next 3 weeks. Teams that did not make the playoffs can still make adds and drops up to the end of the MLB regular season next month.
-
Everything Lindor went. Lights will be off at the Taco Shop as of Sunday night. Until, like at every other going out of biz sale, we announce our grand reopening event. Ha. Good luck to the playoff teams here in 2021.

I am in four leagues (I have a problem) and only two trades went down late last night across all four and they were in the same league. Very quiet trade deadline. Glad to see Dave's used car salesman bit was successful, in which his words had the same effect of a wavy arm inflatable tube man.
-
So I drafted into a 16-team Ottoneu H2H leagues this spring (because I have a healthy life/fantasy balance), and last night the team on my heels in 2nd place acquired Kershaw and (maybe like 6 innings of) DeGrom and offsetting cash for Bassitt and Gonsolin. Makes me feel a little better about the Wander and Kelenic offers I turned down even though the Docile Irish are limping into the playoffs.
-
Today is THE day. That’s right, your final chance to rent Francisco Lindor and watch him catch in FIRE for the playoffs! Hey, it’s not a fire sale it’s a DRUNK sale at the Taco Shop and we can be swindled for a
Beer and—the right DEAL! So click those little tiny OTTO boxes and get ready for some SWAPPIN to commence!! FINAL DAY! OPEN TILL MIDNIGHT! EVERYTHING LINDOR MUST GO!
-
I don't know about a recount haha but MLB stat changes happen. What's the Otto window for that and has it ever changed an outcome?
-
I wish you had started Matt Barnes and his -0.13 or whatever. Then you could be feeling my pain. :). It was a fun one to watch unfold all week!
-
I knew it'd be a nailbiter, but that was ridiculous. Blame Kyle Hendricks with -20 points yesterday.
-
I would like to request a recount. I believe the margin of victory should allow for that. :D
-
For managers itching to add any of the recently drafted players, they won't be available in the Ottoneu universe until they officially sign with their team. Once that happens, you can auction them just like any player on the waiver wire. Keep an eye on this thread to see when players have been added: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/official-thread-for-fantasy-baseball-player-addition/208/1008

Scheduling note: With the ASB this week it's a short matchup on the schedule. Games pick back up Thursday (sort of) and in earnest Friday making the Week 15 matchup a sprint.
Eight weeks remain in the regular season and 9 teams have a shot at the 6 playoff spots. The winner of each division automatically makes the playoffs followed by the remaining 3 teams with the best record, regardless of division.
-
Josh Naylor was practically murdered by a teammate today. Does ottoneu offer some kind of Aflac for that?
-
Vlad Jr and Bellinger. One of those two might seal the deal right now on someone winning the title. Both? Boom.
Send me a thermonuclear offer. Serious offers that benefit the future of my club and the right now status of yours will be seriously considered. Low ball offers will be answered and rejected with creative insulting language. If no one wants? That's totally okay as well. We can sit tight. :) Happy Father's Day, all

Happy Father's Day to all the dad's, grandpa's, step-dad's, pet dad's, godparents and father figures here.

I will consider trading Juan Soto for the right offer. He won’t be cheap and I’m not looking to front a loan in trading him. So please don’t send me an offer where I’m sending a loan back. He’s worth the $59 salary as he’s a top 3 player in MLB. Just off to a slower start. But I think we can all agree he will turn it up. I’m looking for SP, RP and a 1B upgrade. OF is a bit dense too until my prospects come up. All offers will be evaluated and taken into consideration.

I’m looking to trade for SPs and upgrades at 2B and 3B. I have a large surplus of blue chip elite prospects I’m willing to trade to gain pieces that are in the bigs right now and of equal value to the prospect talent. Make an offer, I’ll respond. I’m also still fielding offers for Alonso. Come close to pulling the trigger on trading him a couple of times. Just hard to let go of that power without something convincing in return.

Always between 5 and 7 on the IL. Had 5 outfielders on the IL . Anyone top that by position???
-
I am down to five and that feels like a win. It’s as bad as the batting averages
-
I’m at 10 guys on the IL. Anyone top that? Feels like there’s a million injuries this year.
-
I didn’t really mean to veto the actual trade today, so commish please ignore. I was vetoing Timmy Lupus comments on Witt and Bichette. That is all. :)
-
I’m now shopping 1B Pete Alonso and C Gary Sanchez to be able to fill some SP depth. I’m also looking for stronger position play at 2B and 3B. As always, first come/first serve.

Looking to trade SS Javy Baez for either a really good SP, a really good 3B or combo of both positions based on talent. I got Javy this year for $11 which is a steal compared to him being at close to $30 the past couple years. I’ll respond first come-first serve.
Thanks!

A quick note about the GS cap since this first matchup is more than one week. Per the Ottoneu Rules: In regular season H2H games longer than one week (for example, the first matchup of the season and around the All-Star Break), the GS cap will be the same as it is for regular one week matchups. So, 9 GS from Thursday through the following Sunday.
-
I’m looking to trade for a dependable RP and another SP. Anyone interested, send an offer.

My Dollar Dolis just got a free upgrade to first class :D

Yates is for sale. :D

Just wanted to say thanks again to everyone for showing up on time and actively participating throughout the draft. Last night's draft was probably one of the most exciting drafts I've been a part of in a while.
-
REMINDER: Our draft is this evening at 9 p.m. eastern | 8 p.m. central | 6 p.m. pacific. See you all in about 12 hours.
-
Just in time for our draft, a member of the Ottoneu community has created a rather handy draft kit. You can access details and the Google Sheet here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/introducing-the-ottoneu-draft-kit/8837
-
Friendly reminder to start your week: Our draft is slated for 9 p.m. eastern on Thursday, March 11. Looking forward to seeing everyone in the draft room!
-
Thanks everyone for chiming in on the Doodle poll and for putting up with my emails and text messages. We're locking in Thursday, March 11 at 9 p.m. eastern for the draft.
-
A quick note for the league: Brian, the new owner of I've Got The Runs, has made his one round of penalty free cuts and reversed cuts made on 1/31. Aaron Civale has been added back to his roster at the 1/31 salary of $8. Frankie Montas, Alex Colome and Mike Mayers have been cut.
-
Ottoneu's creator announced a new 120-team best ball competition beginning this year. There are about 28 spots open as of posting, so if you are interested sign up soon. More details at the link: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/introducing-the-ottoneu-prestige-league/8606?u=nivshah
-
Hey, everyone. We have a new owner on board who is taking over I've Got The Runs. Please join me in welcoming Brian to the league! Pat lured Brian over from a non-Otto league his commissioner of. Brock and John B. are in that league too. This will be his first experience in Ottoneu.
A quick housekeeping note: Because Danny made cuts but failed to renew, Brian will be able to reverse any cuts made on 1/31 and will be granted one round of penalty free cuts.
-
Morning, all. We now have an abandoned team. Danny made his cuts but did not renew his team. I reached out several times to remind him to renew to no avail. If you know of anyone inside or outside of Ottoneu who may be interested in taking over his team please send them my way.
-
Friendly reminder: The poll to select our draft date for the 2021 season is still up. Please vote here when you have a moment: https://doodle.com/poll/ba279iv95c4uz3xw?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link. Thanks!

Congrats, everyone! We survived another Ottoneu keeper deadline. Below is a link to a Doodle poll for the 2021 draft. I'm currently eyeballing the last week in Feb. and first two weeks in March. Oh, and there's a bit of housekeeping to take care of too. There are two teams who still need to renew for the 2021 season. Please do so before Feb. 10 or you will lose your team. And now, the poll: https://doodle.com/poll/ba279iv95c4uz3xw?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link
-
Reminder: Today is the deadline to renew your team. Please do so by midnight tonight. You can renew your team by going to https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/userdashboard and clicking on "Extend your dynasty" to the right of your team.

For those who really want to go down the rabbit hole of the Surplus Calculator, its creator released a how-to video, which can be found in the forums: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/ottoneu-surplus-calculator-2021/8394/2.
P.S. Make your cuts!
P.S.S Renew your team!!
-
Gang, the 2021 Surplus Calculator has officially been released. You can find all the necessary info at the following link: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/ottoneu-surplus-calculator-2021/8394?u=eamuscatuli. As the instructions note, copy the spreadsheet over to your own Google Drive before using. Also, if you want to factor in inflation - which is one of the variables - third-year leagues experience, on average, 15% inflation.
-
If anyone is looking to move/cut players for salary before the deadline, I’m looking to fill some roster depth at SP, RP, SS, 2B and 3B. Hit me up with who you’re looking to trade and let’s see if we can get a deal done. I’m keeping my core 4 players of Acuna, Soto, Betts and Tatis Jr. All other options are negotiable.

Friendly reminder: Jan. 31 is also the deadline to renew your team for next season. You can do so at your user dashboard (https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/userdashboard) where you will find a link to "Extend your dynasty" to the right of your screen. The deadline to renew is MIDNIGHT on Jan. 31, so basically 11:59 p.m. on Jan. 30.
-
Friendly reminder (not that you can't tell by the banner at the top of the page) that the keeper deadline is Jan. 31 at 11:59 p.m. EASTERN. Teams must be below 40 players and $400 in salary, with at least $1 available for each open roster spot, by that date and time. Also, Charlie Blackmon is still on my trade block if someone is looking for an OF whose age almost matches their salary.
-
Super heavy at 1B and 3B. Looking for bench guys at C, SS, and OF. Also some good relievers with low salaries would be nice too. Need to part ways with Lowe, Hosmer, Santans, Franco, and Shaw.
-
I’m looking to trade Gleyber Torres. My areas of need are SP and RP. Would like to free up some cap room too. All offers will be considered and responded to ASAP.

With arbitration complete, voting is now closed on the proposed changes to the 2021 season. Owners overwhelmingly approved (11-1) moving back to 1 matchup per week and the trade wait period will remain at 48 hours (7-5). Thank you everyone for participating.
