• Given that we are talking about doing the draft in February, there should be a better date than February 14. What about the following week on February 21?

• Works for me too.

  The Squinty Percivals on January 11, 2021 11:01 PM

• Works for me but that is also Valentine’s Day evening so I suspect some may have plans of some sort.

  YabadaBadoo! on January 11, 2021 9:07 PM

• I’d like to schedule our auction. Can we do Sunday, February 14 at 6:30pm (EST)?

  Say Hey Kids on January 11, 2021 8:43 PM

• All: There was an email issue recently with Otto. Some trade offers/messages have gone undelivered. Everyone should either resend or at least be checking your league pages to see if you missed anything. I’m in several leagues and have numerous outstanding trade offers that haven’t been responded to.

  Say Hey Kids on January 4, 2021 7:40 AM

• Yes

  Say Hey Kids on December 22, 2020 3:28 PM

• Hey Madrigal/league, from now until January 31 is completely penalty free cuts. Anyone you cut now will be available to all managers on Draft Day, and won't have any cap hit towards your $400.

  Big Papi memories on December 22, 2020 3:19 PM

• hey all, something I want to confirm. Can we bid on players we cut in the next draft? Meaning for instance LG just cut Verlander. Can he bid on Verlander in the 2021 draft?

  Electric City on December 22, 2020 3:01 PM

• Welcome, Squinty Percivals! It seems like your addition got the league hot stove fired up :)

  Big Papi memories on December 22, 2020 1:30 PM

• Welcome! I’m glad someone with Otto-knowledge claimed the team, makes things easier for me! Feel free to take a look around and make yourself comfortable!

  Say Hey Kids on December 22, 2020 4:48 AM

• Hi All, I just claimed Incorrigible Robots. I play in another league with Fairhaven and he mentioned the team available. Looks like I have some work to do, but I'm excited to dig in. I love the offseason and trades so hope we can make some deals. Quick intro - My name is John. I'm California born and raised but now live outside NYC. Life-long Angels fan. Looking forward to playing with y'all!

  The Squinty Percivals on December 22, 2020 12:24 AM

• Hi all, I’d like to see a little more off season action. This is when we build our teams! Being a very new league, our salaries are pretty crazy on some players. We should be planning our cuts/keeps, sending offers and making deals! As of now, all 11 of us that are here are definitely in. I’ve been in contact with everyone. I’ve been advertising the vacant team. I’m confident we’ll get it filled soon.

  Say Hey Kids on December 17, 2020 12:50 PM

• Save Us Ben C...As an FYI..I'm pretty sure you can not send cash in off-season trades. Its player(s) for player(s) only.

  Building 4 2021 & Beyond on December 16, 2020 7:29 PM

• I have a glut of 3Bs, Bregman (55), Ramirez (40), Suarez (17). I can include some cash with Bregman. Lmk if you have interest in any of them

  YabadaBadoo! on December 16, 2020 5:03 PM

• I’ve advertised it a few times, no luck. Gonna keep trying. I’m kind of surprised at how quiet this league has been! Come on guys! The off season is when we do our work!

  Say Hey Kids on December 16, 2020 4:19 PM

• Any updates on the open team?

  Big Papi memories on December 16, 2020 10:38 AM

• Great question. You have free cuts until January 31. After that, you get penalized by half the salary.

  Say Hey Kids on December 9, 2020 10:28 AM

• Hello league. As this is my first off season, when we cut players, do we free all of his salary or only half of it ? Thanks.

  Zaporizhzhia Braves ⚾ on December 9, 2020 10:07 AM

• I’m having a hard time filling the Incorrigible Robots team. If anyone knows a guy who knows a guy, let’s see if we can find a new owner.

  Say Hey Kids on November 25, 2020 9:07 PM

• Happy arbitration, everyone!

  Big Papi memories on October 16, 2020 3:08 PM

• Thanks folks! This was a fun first year league, and was definitely a close finish - closest of all my Ottoneu leagues, in fact. I will be back next year, and looking forward to the offseason and year 2.

  Big Papi memories on September 28, 2020 2:01 PM

• Congrats! I will be back.

  YabadaBadoo! on September 28, 2020 1:57 PM

• Congrats to Big Unit on the W! Looking forward to the next season, I’ll be back for sure.

  Hey Cow Holy Hey on September 28, 2020 1:31 PM

• I'll be back. Enjoyed the 60 day sprint of a season. Congrats to BIg Unitas well!!!

  Building 4 2021 & Beyond on September 28, 2020 1:12 PM

• Time to start filling any vacancies. I know we have 1 (Incorrigible). Is everyone else returning?

  Say Hey Kids on September 28, 2020 12:54 PM

• congrats! Ran away with it early on and we never had a chance to catch up. Well done!

  Electric City on September 28, 2020 10:27 AM

• Congratulations to Big Unit for winning our inaugural season Championship! Now comes the fun part; the off-season!

  Say Hey Kids on September 27, 2020 8:49 PM

• Looking to move a prospect for the stretch run, if anyone is building for 2021.

  Big Papi memories on August 26, 2020 3:39 AM

• Yeah no hitters into the 9th sure help the point total :) still shaping up for an exciting race!

  Big Papi memories on August 19, 2020 2:11 PM

• Huge day for Big Unit!

  Say Hey Kids on August 19, 2020 7:08 AM

• Yup, gotta wait for those waivers to clear!

  SF-Os on August 14, 2020 10:00 AM

• I’ve done that. A few times.

  Say Hey Kids on August 14, 2020 7:26 AM

• Wow I really screwed that one up. Thought I was getting Stanton for half the $37. Oops.

  YabadaBadoo! on August 14, 2020 6:36 AM

• Best way I can describe is click on player you want to insert, the available places he can go will be green.

  Say Hey Kids on July 27, 2020 5:37 PM

• Help please- Just back from vacation and I have no clue on how to set up a line up :( Been trying but can't figure it out

  Zaporizhzhia Braves ⚾ on July 27, 2020 5:09 PM

• I'm still here.

  Building 4 2021 & Beyond on July 13, 2020 12:54 PM

• Looking forward to the season! We still got everybody, right?

  Big Papi memories on July 11, 2020 11:38 PM

• Howdy folks, here is an important announcement from Niv: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/coronavirus-update/7244

  Big Papi memories on March 12, 2020 3:08 PM

• Thanks for helping a rookie out!

  The Squinty Percivals on March 11, 2020 11:34 AM

• Good explanation, Unit. I’ll put those two guys back.

  Say Hey Kids on March 11, 2020 11:33 AM

• In your case, I would not be opposed to reversing those two $1 cuts, since you didn't know this nuance. I don't think Arodys Vizcaino or Bryan Shaw are going to break the league :)

  Big Papi memories on March 11, 2020 11:31 AM

• Well that's the trick, and why I like think of the cap as 360 + rostered players. In your case, no amount of players you add will get you to 360 + rostered players; you are $2 over, if that math checks out. The only way to get back to valid is to cut guy(s) that buy you back $2+ in cap space

  Big Papi memories on March 11, 2020 11:29 AM

• Okay that makes sense. So how do I make it valid again? Do those guys need to go through waivers and then I would just fill my roster with $1 players after they clear or get picked up?

  The Squinty Percivals on March 11, 2020 11:26 AM

• In your case, you are at 26 players, but at $388. Technically your cap right now is $386 ($360 + 26 rostered players). What's also tricky in this situation is, since you cut a couple guys, they count against your cap (it's impossible to lose the $1 cap penalty on $1 guys unless they get scooped off the wire), so those cuts actually made your roster invalid.

  Big Papi memories on March 11, 2020 11:24 AM

• Hi Robots, the cap is a little different than just $400, it's actually $360 + the number of rostered players you have. This means you have to have cap space to fill out your 40-man with $1 players.

  Big Papi memories on March 11, 2020 11:22 AM

• Can someone help a new guys who's never played Otto before. I'm getting a message saying my team is not valid and that I need to cut a player. But why do I need to do this since only 26 of my 40 roster spots are filled? How do I make my roster valid?

  The Squinty Percivals on March 11, 2020 11:19 AM

• For what it’s worth, had we decided to allow cuts, they would have been penalty-free.

  Say Hey Kids on March 10, 2020 12:24 PM

• If Mancini is still a FA after 30 days, TJGR can start a FA bid for Mancini again at $9. If he's the only bidder, he can then cut him again and get another $4 back and Mancini then only counts $5 in dead money. 30 days later, he can do the same thing, and get $2 back and have only $3 in dead money and so forth until another team bids on him, he gets down to $1 in dead money or the season ends. So, if you stay involved & are patient, you can get a lot of your "dead" money back o

  Building 4 2021 & Beyond on March 10, 2020 12:21 PM

• 30 days after you waive a player, you can bid on him in free agency again where either he goes to another team and you get your money back, or if you get him, you can then cut him again and get 1/2 back again. So, for Mancini, if he's waived, TJGR get $8 back. If a team claims him, he gets the remaining $9 back. If he isn't claimed, he becomes a FA. If a team starts bidding on him, once he goes to a team, TJGR would get the $9 back.

  Building 4 2021 & Beyond on March 10, 2020 12:18 PM

• Just for the record, this was a hard No for me and it wasn't close. I won't bore everyone with the multiple reasons since its been decided, but, for those who are new to Otto, you do get half (rounded down for odd numbers) the value back when you waive a player. If the players gets claimed or is later goes to another team in free agency, you get the rest of your money back.
