On the trades I think it's only in season you have to be legal. Not positive, but I believe the offseason there is no 60-day IL and you can still be over the 40 player and 400 total cap particularly after you do a trade (like a 3 for 1), so it's not enforced by the system until the cut deadline. Some leagues do enforce having a legal roster at the start of the offseason specifically to avoid gaming the opportunity of adding a bunch of pieces the week before the end of season.
-
Rather certain you need to have a valid roster in order to participate in any activities including trades. Cutting $3-5 players doesn't help much cause the $1 you save goes towards the empty roster spot, but you probably realize that now. Need to cut a more expensive player. Before you confirm it will tell you if your roster will be valid.

Legal is under cap with at least $1 for every open 40 man spot, along with "22 major-league players capable of filling out a starting lineup" per the rules on the site.
-
Trades will be allowed again after arbitration and technically all rosters are open at that point. Some leagues enforce having a legal roster prior to the end of the season as well (it's easy to game the system by launching twenty auctions a day before the season ends). You can make any trades you want but then have to be legal again by the Jan 31 cut deadline.
-
You also have a ton of cap penalties that could have been reauctioned and cut again to increase cap space ($15 by my count). Ideally you would auction those players to help manage your cap better throughout the season along with the hope that other leaguemates would pick up a few of those guys and clear the cap entirely.
-
It looks like your roster is illegal right now because you need to have $1 available for every 40 man spot. So you have 33 out of 45 players rostered, but it's 33 out of 40, so you'd need $7 in cap space (7 spots). You only have $6 available in free cap space.
-
(2) ... that I don't have enough $ to fill 40 roster spots. I do have 7 free slots open now and a budget of $322. So, I am not going to cut anyone else right now, and not bothered with setting the lineup. So my question is this: when will this mess clear up? I just want the team to be in a valid state in order to consider trades at some point when they are allowed again.
-
I was going to just PM Jacob, but I decided to put the question here in case it happens to somebody else. So I'm pretty annoyed about the state of my team, as Otto claims it is STILL "not in a valid state", despite me cutting 12 guys recently. I added Paxton for $9, but had to cut 6 guys to afford him (even though my budget is well under). So I assumed it was a baggage issue per loans + cap penalties. So I add Perez for $6, and I can't seem to cut enough. I cut 6 more guys and it claim
-
Where is the mulligan button? Need to use it for Suter tonight.
-
Yeah, kinda. I would say I 'saw it' happen, but I didn't actually, although I had that game on. (There may have been a cam on him but I never saw the replay). Giolito completely lost his command and pretty much just forgot (or didn't care?) anyone was on base. LOL
-
Miguel Cabrera stole a base last night!
-
Thanks! Had a player I dropped in another league and someone picked up and dropped. I went to auction again and I was like darn hasn’t been 30 days. Then I was wondering about waiver claim, if I missed a chance. Sounds like I didn’t :)
-
Pretty sure the 30 days still applies.

Rules say you may not nominate or bid for 30 days. I’d assume (and seem to recall) that includes waiver claims.
-
Does anyone know, if you drop a player, then someone else picks him up 10 days later and drops him 10 days after that, can the original dropping team put in a waiver claim for the player? I know they can't auction him for 30 days regardless if another team picks him up and drops him. Just wondering if the original might be able to snag the player on waivers. during the 30 day no auction time.
-
Counts as two games
-
Does anyone know—if a player plays both games of a DH, does that count as 1 or 2 games on GP limits?
-
If anyone would like Verlander to build their staff around next year, I would move him for a reasonable price - MI, OF and RP or someone combo depending on quality.
-
Blackmon is available for the right young batters or prospects
-
Looks like this is the 19th most competitive league out of 131 using our scoring system. https://pointsabove.com/2020/08/07/ottoneu-power-rankings-july-2020/

Yeah luckily I noticed this twin-bill when I was setting my CBS lineup. Seems that the Otto site hasn't set a protocol for this year's "flexi-schedule"
-
For f’s sake Fried started too. I’m fing pissed 80 plus f’in Points
-
Just so you know. I took acuna out because I’m up north with less signal. I check lineups earlier and Atlanta had no game on the site. When I checked back laterer I saw the double header and it was too late. Now I see the points he scored today and I’m going on a shooting spree.
-
Going to be fascinating to see what happens. Players need to sit socially distanced in the stands, like they do in European football. They are too close in the dugout.
-
Marlins, First team wiped out by Virus..... Where do we go from here. Sounds like Reds are not far behind.
-
I will miss the extra intrigue of potential playoffs in this league-- especially since we needed another run-through on doing it right in light of last year. But since things are what they are, I will have to acquiesce and hope we can get through these few weeks with a completed regular season
-
Yes, good.
-
Good here
-
Sounds good
-
Points sounds fine.
-
Sounds good to me
-
I think that's best for this season
-
Yeah, I suggest we just do total points for the 60 games. No side pot, no playoffs. Everyone cool with that?

We could but what about the side pot? It seems like making it two 30 games halves would work? Our split it 45/15, if possible?
-
My opinion would be to just make this a total points league for this year only. This is going to be a joke of a season that might not even get completed.
-
What is the plan for the season in this league? Are we having playoffs, or are we modifying things?
-
We need baseball. I have never cared so deeply about who the Chiefs selected in the 5th round of the draft.
-
A lot of Trent Grisham love in this league. Would be interesting to know how the coin flip works with four teams.
-
Tigers Opening Day!!!!!!!!! is only two days away!
-
The draft is completed, let the trades/auctions begin!

If anyone else would like to delay please speak up, otherwise we are on for Monday night 8pm. EST.

I would say keep it the same. Hard to find a time and agree that player eval should change very little. Maybe it is a 135 game season, but player talent level doesn’t change.
-
I would prefer just keeping it as is. I dont see the delay to the start of the season having a significant impact on the players I would want.
-
I'm sure we would all like to delay it a bit but my concern is finding a time that works. The 16th was the only day leading up to Opening Day that worked for all 12 (actually, 2 guys didn't want that day but changed their schedules). I don't know if that has changed or not. But I'm not sure a shortened season will effect which players we want anyway. I could go either way. Anyone have worse availability in April?

With news of the cancellation of spring training and delayed Opening Day, can we postpone the draft until we know more info? Whether they'll finish a 2-week training period, season length, stadiums in use, etc., all seem important to know for player evaluations.
-
Look out! Tigers are on a hot streak!

Draft/Auction Day is Monday, March 16th at 8pm EST.

(Oh, yup. Missed it. Carry on, sorry.)
-
Sorry if I missed it, but I gather we're not doing an auction like we did last year? We'll draft the remaining rosters on a single draft?
-
Okay, I filled it out. I just didn't see times on there, so thought I would state my preference. I will try to make whatever time is decided work for the good of the league.
