Okay everyone, here’s a link to a poll for an auction date. I narrowed it down to March dates because of my proclivity for a late date. The latest date will be March 19th, as the Seoul series is March 20-21. Please be as open as possible on your dates. It is really hard to get 12 people together for this thing.

Thanks for helping out y’all

Things happen gradually, then all at once
-
Ah, well, there goes that I suppose.
-
Perfect, I’ll let him know then. He should sign up shortly in that case.
-
Yeah, they’ll have a round of penalty-free cuts
-
OK, he’s in Mo. He asked if he could still cut without penalty given he wasn’t here before the deadline, so I told him I’d ask.
-
Sounds like we now have two prospective owners. The team is on the Claim A Team page, whoever gets the claim in first gets it I suppose
-
I may have someone interested. Working the phones now, Mo 🫡🫡🫡
-
Still no hits on our league in the forums. If y'all wouldn't mind putting some feelers out there to your other leagues, that would be awesome. I'd like to get an owner ASAP so we can get a draft date set
-
Cads, hear me out, you take that fat check you won beating everyone last year and ride Chiefs moneyline to the moon.
-
Court ordered or not, I am not being paid. I’m like Keanu in Hardball, only with a truly crippling gambling addo.

Tom, work release doesn't count toward volunteer hours. Now quit scrolling or I won't sign your sheet.
-
I was talking about this league and my team to the kids at the youth center where I volunteer and one of them mentioned that it was pretty cool that I stuck with Jasson despite his injury. I told him, “Julio, if I haven’t given up on you I am sure not giving up on Jasson.” It was a nice moment.

I gotta say, Cads, if old Polar Bear simply used the message board like you do, we surely wouldn't be in this mess. You are a model Ottoneu citizen and continue to be a shining light in a dark, dark world.

As I stood there watching it burn, it occurred to me that the letter wasn't the only thing combusting - my anger went with it. I came back inside, enjoyed a nice glass of wine and slept very peacefully.

Hey guys, I know a few of you have voiced some frustration over the manner of the Polar Bears exit (which I also felt), and I thought I might share what I did to work through those feelings and ultimately let them go. Last night I sat down and wrote a letter detailing all of the ways that the owner's actions had disappointed me. When I had put everything down on paper and selected an appropriate closing salutation, I sealed the letter in an envelope, took it out on the porch and set it aflame.

That's how Mets fans behave. They're not suitable for the civilized world.

Hey all, due to missing arbitration, the cut deadline, the renewing deadline, and near permanent unresponsiveness, I’ve abandoned Polar Bear Pride. Looking for a new owner to take over their team. As always, if anyone knows someone looking to join the hot mess we’ve got going here, let me know. I’ll post something in the forums later today
-
Thanks Tom
-
Just a reminder to please make your cuts by the end of the day.

Hey everyone, if anyone is looking for another team, I have a league that is still looking for 2 managers. $75 buy-in, and there's going to be a dispersal draft for the 3 new managers (put all 3 teams' players at current salary in a pool, draft them prior to auction - to make the teams a little more competitive). Here are the 3 teams. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/726/team?team=5115

One last team to renew! Keeper deadline is Wednesday 11:59 PM ET
-
Still have 2 managers to renew. Thanks to everyone who has already!
-
I have a few offers out there. Guys like Burnes, Bichette, Parades, Castellanos, Suzuki, McKenzie, etc. Happy to do a few of mine for one of yours if you have cap space and don't want to risk spending more in the draft.

Still a handful of teams that haven’t extended for next year. Just a reminder that all rosters must be valid by the end of the month. Rosters will be locked until the main auction and the spring prospect draft are complete. Renew those teams!!
-
Thanks for the bump, Mo, just re-upped!
-
Still have about half our teams still in need of re-upping for the new season
-
As is, it takes Marty Byrde to get the $100 past the wives; we're happy staying put. Happy New Year, all!
-
There is actually: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/prizeterms lol. Not sure we would do that with you two in the league though.
-
is there a $500 option?
-
Also would prefer 100
-
I'd prefer to stay at $100 for this season.
-
Sorry but 250 is too steep for me.

I would prefer that the buy in stay at $100
-
I’m okay with whatever the majority wants on the buy-in. I just want teams to stay invested and stick around from year to year.
-
Just to answer what the payouts would look like in a $250 tier: $1500 to first, $750 to second, $250 to third. Cads, try e-mailing help@ottoneu.com; I'm sure Niv will walk you through it. Go birds.
-
Also, find someone that supports you the way Tony Gwynn fans support him. It's like Taylor Swift for 50 year olds.

I am down for whatever, though I need to find someone to help me withdraw my winnings from last year. It's a shame that you can't just apply them to current dues. I am not super tech savvy, so it's probably me. Dadgum Eagles are shitting the bed, but tomorrow is all about Michigan. GO BLUE!

Now that the holidays are over, have we given any more thought to upping the buy-in? Maybe just for Cads in particular?
-
Happy New Year everyone! Just a friendly reminder that teams need to be re-upped by the end of January. Teams auto-abandon if this is not done!

Welcome Stan!

Welcome to the league! We'll drop a casserole by later.

Hi all, I just claimed the team FKA Siena and paid up for next year. About to make a bunch of cuts and will update my trade board. Looking forward to it!
-
Abandoned Siena to see if we get a bite in the claim pool
-
Welcome to the offseason! Thanks everyone who participated in arbitration. All MiLB rosters have been updated and new spots are marked out in white and grey. Trading is now open. Update those trade blocks! Keeper Deadlines for MiLB and 40-man rosters are January 31st, which is also the deadline for renewal of your team. Cheers to Ottoneu for keeping us warm in the dead winter months
-
Still looking for Polar Bear to arbitrate. (…is this thing on…)
