I think Pfaadt is our most claimed player ever.

I have to agree with David Justice is blind, when we try to manage by exception or special ruling, we could get in a mess in future years

Ugh. I am at a loss for words. I hope this is nothing, but how often has that actually ended up as the outcome. As it relates to this league, I would look back to how we handled Trevor Bauer, Marcell Ozuna, Roberto Ozuna, etc., and in those cases we did not provide any special treatment for those players. If it goes to the level of prison or a lifetime ban from the sport we can revisit, but I am of the opinion that the cut penalty is the risk we take with any player, regardless of the reason.

like an injury (ideally like a 60-day IL spot, but that's not a big deal to me and would probably need programmed in by Shiv's team). But if they're on the restricted list, I feel like the closest equivalent would be a penalty free cut. I would say then that player could be auctioned by anyone at any time for a min of $1; if a player is legal to be rostered, I don't see any reason why someone shouldn't be able to pick him up and any owner that doesn't want to roster someone doesn't have to.

Well, that's awesome news. Given that my team is directly impacted by this, feel free to ignore my thoughts. But if the idea is Ottoneu as close as fantasy gets to running an MLB team, I'd look to the different statuses a player can be on to determine what happens. If a players is on administrative leave, they are off the roster but still paid. But if they get placed on the restricted list, they're not paid or on the roster. So I feel like the equivalent would be administrative leave is

in all likelihood, we are in for a bit of a wait until MLB does their due diligence and issues a ruling, so we have some time to discuss and come up with a reasonable policy. does anyone here have an opinion on how to handle this or any future ethical concerns?

glossing over the endive situation, the recent Wander Franco news might be an opportune time for us to discuss this league's policy towards DV and similar ethical issues. my thoughts on the matter are that an owner should be given the option to wash their hands entirely of a player and drop him without cap penalty, similar to how player deaths are treated. of course this begs the question of whether that player can be reactioned and if so, at what price.

Is the person I was messaging years ago about endive still in this league? I'm eating some insane endive right now.

Our rosters are based on the MLB 40-man rosters, and the extra roster spot for 60IL players is based on the same rule that exists in IRL baseball. Painter isn't on the 40-man so the Phils don't get an extra spot, therefore you don't either. I have to admit, I don't know what would happen if he was on the 40-man but still MiLB. Would introduce an interesting gray area that could challenge the rule and maybe open a loophole.

Sorry to be late to the party. This point was raised immediately on Skack and the community message boards after Niv implemented the feature. You have a fair point, Drew. From a game perspective it doesn't make much sense, but in this case it comes down to the founding ethos of the platform: "The intention of this league is to mimic the job of an actual general manager as closely as possible." (first line of the rules)
