LOL. Not to throw any more chaos into this system but if either Twosies or SGRE want to rescind the trades i'm ok with that since they were made under certain assumptions. If not, that's just on me. I was trying to get myself out of a situation in advance where i'd have to cut 20 dollars worth of players. Either way, the moves i made don't feel detrimental and cap is always valuable.

Immediately thought of this: https://media.tenor.com/fpRrMe-iwMkAAAAM/burn-watch.gif

Dansby likes watching others squirm. Or maybe just a chaos agent.
-
Well that was awkward lol. the Last 48hrs have been the weirdest I have experienced as a manager. I made trades to clear cap for a mistake so I wouldn’t have to over cut and hurt the team overall and it didn’t even matter.
-
127 scoreless innings was so miraculous, they had to rename it after Chris Taylor, the guy who finally broke the streak.
-
Seems like an achievable award for Trevor Rogers

This is what comes up for a Google search of CT Young: https://akns-images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/202122/rs_1024x759-210302193849-1024-ct-the-inferno-3-mp.jpg?fit=around%7C1024:759&output-quality=90&crop=1024:759;center,top

We'll all barely remember the stinger 2023 NL CT Young Winner Trevor Rogers got after a mid-April start and instead remember the 127 consecutive innings he threw without allowing a run.
-
Man, if this is AHWT with an injured pitching staff and no Tatis, what's going to happen when things start trending up?
-
Also Tatis is back!
-
See ya Brantley. Your OBP skills are fantastic. I will be sad to you see you leave AHWT. But none the less I have to be able to afford my bad luck.
-
Looking to clear some cap room. If you are interested in $7 tovar, $8 Tyler Stephenson, $3 Brantley or someone else who isn't a starter i depend on, let me know. They are yours for the cost of their salary.
-
I wish there was an easy way to track this. Kevin Gausman is close for me, he's Grover Cleveland'ed his way to a multi stint that's lasted a non-consecutive ten years with a couple of momentary pit stops with Urbina and AHWT along the way.
-
Also worth noting that he was cut at $53 and added at auction for $55, so we probably could've added another year to that total if we really wanted.
-
Kind of a fun ottoneu 118 fact here: Max Scherzer was cut on January 28, 2012 and then had over a decade of retention. He wasn't cut again until January 19, 2023. I can't imagine many other guys have a decade of never being cut from a team! Included in that, Urbina had him from October 2013 until September 2020. Also a remarkable stretch!
-
No worries guys. Appreciate you thinking about it. On my end if no one outbids me for him then I’ll come up with a plan. Thanks!
-
Yeah but if you are going to trade Woodruff, trade him to me.
-
AHWT, before you do anything too drastic like trading Woodruff, I'll nominate Rogers after you cut him and he clears waivers. I've always liked him and will eat the $2 cap penalty if he needs TJ.
-
impact the bids and roster moves he has already made or is making right now.
-
Hi AHWT, that's some terribly bad luck, but having spoken with DJIB, I don't think there is justification in the rules or affordances in the commissioner tools to cancel a current auction. We can cancel pending trades if there is sign of collusion or foul play, but injuries are part of the game, so unfortunately this doesn't rise to the standard necessary for commissioner intervention. It would also open a can or worms in terms by requiring us to reapply a cap penalty to Papi, which could...
-
I will support Commishes' decision
-
Sounds good. I'm in support of whatever you decide!
-
AHWT, I've reached out to Urbina to make sure we're on the same page. We'll let you know our thoughts before the auction ends. Based on the limitations of the commish tools, I don't thinks there's anything we can do until the auction ends at this point. We would have to wait until Rogers is rostered, then do a no penalty cut (if that's the outcome).
-
LOL. Thanks. That said if people genuinely have a problem with my request I will figure it out. I want to preserve league integrity and don't want to open up pandoras box. But i really would appreciate dealing with my pitching situation in another way, if at all possible.
-
If it matters - I don't really care. I'd be fine with just cancelling the transaction. I actually think the timing is hilarious, having the baseball world give AHWT the giant middle finger on a random Wednesday.
-
That said I don't want to set a precedent. It's just like the worst timing in the world. I personally would be ok if someone else made the same request but like i said it is super unfair to the league and I make a bunch of cuts for the unfortunate timing so be it.
-
In full transparency, I just nominated Trevor Rogers like 30m before his start because my pitching staff is so injured (Woodruff and Ashby are probably done for the year, and a new injury for Rodon). Needed to take a shot. Rogers just left the game with an arm injury after 3 innings and it doesn't look good. I was going to have to cut like 20 dollars worth of players. Any chance I can have mercy no nom? I don't want to roster a TJ guy and cut other players to keep him. Just super bad timing.
-
You know I picked up Neto at auction because I like the skillset and the word all around was that he was very advanced/likely to be the first up this year from the 22 class. Didn't expect him less than three weeks in though. Let's go!
-
Damn, BPM plays to win
-
I'm a sucker for .650 ISOs
-
oh nice sexy little $1 adell scoop. I hope that dude breaks out. He has been so bad but hes really fun.
-
Almost as exciting as this Brandon Marsh mini breakout.
-
That Edouard Julien price is looking pretty good right now.
-
Who I confuse with Wily Mo Pena. He was a beast in MVP 2004
-
We’ll he’s on 33 likewise I also keep thinking he is like 45
-
Haha. Dude I was literally thinking the same think. Maybe I’m thinking of Wily Peralta
-
Further inspection leads me to believe that I'm confusing him with Wandy Rodriguez, who's 44 years old
-
How is Wandy Peralta only 31 years old? I thought he was like 38
-
Accidentally hit the "Start Auction" button on Christian Pache. Thank God it makes you confirm before it actually starts it. Saw my life flash before my eyes there.
-
Lol. No you good you have the cap space I’d be doing the same thing
-
Only picked up Suwinski, T. Walker and Friedl in the last two three days. Already 44 points behind 1st place, got to make some moves to upgrade and fill holes
-
Big Papi literally scooping up everyone we all want LMFAO
-
Just tried and it worked, don't know why it happened. Thanks for your support, have a nice Sunday
-
Hi Papi, I'm not aware of anything that would prevent you from starting an auction. Could you elaborate on the issue?
-
Question : why aren't we allowed to start auctions at this time? Maybe I missed something
-
Big Papi cleaning up tonight!
-
Aggressive cut by Papi. Dansby and Twosies both have the cap room to claim him. Gonna be a tense slate of games today to see who finishes in 12th place haha.
-
Looks like it got taken care of, thanks for another great draft everyone!
-
Did the draft just end without AHWT getting his final pick?
-
Hi, four drafts tonight
