Just a general reminder - only a day left to get your arbitration in (and legal)!
-
Congratulations to our 2023 Champion Sometimes Maybe Good! Thank You to everyone who participated this year. Reminder Arbitration Opens up October 15, 2023 & Ends November 14, 2023.

Fun season, everyone! Glad my team stayed hot down the stretch to get me through the playoffs!
-
Ok will do. I will keep as is
-
Agreed, following the rules seems right
-
not to sound like a broken record lol, but my vote is once again to just follow the rules that are in place
-
I could also process other teams trades at the deadline in case they want to include those players in another trade.
-
I want to trade Gerrit Cole but the trade won't process until after the trade deadline. What would everyone's vote be if I discussed a Cole trade before deadline with other teams? As commissioner I would then process trade if agreed to. Thought I'd ask but i'm fine just waiting and keeping Cole.
-
In advance thanks all. I had to release my high dollar players due to the fact I had no cap penalty for three days.I would have normally offered a trade

Team has been claimed by a new owner. Welcome to the league!
-
Team Pitcher of Jon Gray has been abandoned by the owner. Owner will not be renewing. Doesn't have the time to keep up with the team. I removed the owner for someone else to possibly claim the team before season ends.
-
Thanks. Much appreciated!
-
can't speak for everyone but when I do it it's almost always to clear cap penalties on players I've previously cut (like with DeGrom the cap hit I'm taking went from $24 to $12)
-
Hey Cubano - this is a technique for reclaiming salary from players you drop. Check out the rules (https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/rules), Section V, parts e-g.

Maybe this is why I'm in the bottom half of the league but can someone explain to me why you add a guy and then drop him immediately? Is it solely to keep him away from another team? I just want to understand the logic behind it.
-
Agreed that we should let the rules work as intended

Haase, Gibson, and Matz were assigned to Flying Falcons when he joined the league. Please don't bid on these players. I didn't have an option to take them off the auction list.
-
My personal preference would be to let the existing rules work as intended. I get the intent. In the leagues where I'm a commissioner, I figure that Just like an umpire, the less I get noticed, the better.

I have removed Karinchak and put him up for Auction so every team has a fair chance to acquire him.
-
Agreed. fast and loose commissioning can get dicey, letβs try to stay a bit normal from here on out. Appreciate the effort as always tho.
-
Fair enough I believe you all can voice your opinions and as commissioner, I will make it right. I want to make sure you all have fun.
-
I'm fine with the one-time FA signings given the circumstances, but I think we gotta just let everything else work as normal. Like, sure he could've outbid everyone, but maybe others would have claimed him on waivers, or bid more than $8 in an auction. it's not *really* a huge deal, I just hope this isn't the new normal for how the league is run. it sucks that Falcons is at a disadvantage but he's playing this season for free and knew the situation he was getting into
-
Falcons had the most cap space and could of outbid other teams if he was in the auction. All that extra money would of been in the auction draft with another team driving up prices. I allow this and the Free agent signings to give his team a more fair chance to compete
-
sure, but then let it go through and give the league a chance to veto if they feel differently... the behind the scenes roster moves just sets a weird precedent to me. the rules are there for a reason
-
They agreed to the trade. I believe it's fair for both sides. Tides looses the player but gets valid roster.
Falcons gets a RP which he needed to fill roster.
-
Not trying to be a stick in the mud or anything lol but we seem to playing fast and loose with the rules here
-
??? Why was this allowed? Should've cut Karinchak like normal...
-
I sent James Karinchak to Flying Falcons for Cap Space. Tried to do the same with AJ Puk but had to move Karinchak instead to make my team valid.

Iβm cool with the exception for opening day
-
Was just going to make an exception for opening day
-
I dont see an issue with it, make a small exception for opening day
-
Agreed, I think we should wait for the trades to process as normal.
-
Agree with Cubano.

Are you going to do this for all trades going forward? If we arent then I'm not sure an exception should be made.
-
Happy Opening Day Everyone! I would like to put players to their new teams from trades waiting to process. I don't have a process trade button but can assign them to correct teams.
-
Ok thank you. Really sorry everyone for the confusion. Last thing I want is for you all to think this league Is corrupt. We have our own teams.
-
Yeah nobody thatβs up for auction already that falcons didnβt put up
-
using avg salary would be the way to go, preferably nobody that's already up for auction.
-
Nothing to hide here. Big Papi is my brother's team. He used my device for the draft. I forgot to sign back into my account before posting the message
-
Yeah - Kraken are you also controlling Papi's team?
-
Yeah I saw that as well and was confusedβ¦you operating two teams..? Lol
-
I gotta askβ¦ I saw an identical message from Big Papi Memories 5 min before this one. Whatβs that about?
-
Can I get everyone's opinions on something? Flying Falcons wasn't able to participate in the auction draft. Would you all reject to me putting free agent players on his team as commissioner? It would be players he chooses and salary would be that players avg salary most likely
-
Thanks, commish. And welcome to the new owner!
-
I found someone to take ownership of the unclaimed team by Knights.
-
I'll also be a little late. No worries though.
-
Freddie Thanks for the Update
