Update: Ephs has decided he doesn't have the free time anymore to give this league his full attention, so he'll be stepping away after 5 years. Cole first came on board as a replacement owner in the 2017 offseason and put together some strong competitors in the 2020-21 seasons. Please join me in wishing him well!
-
Thanks to everyone who has allocated their arbitration dollars so far. I take this as a sign of intent to return for 2023, but if anyone is thinking of leaving, please let me know ASAP so we can get someone new in before arbitration ends. The last outstanding owner is Ephs, so I will reachout over email and see where he's at. Expect an update soon, and then we're on to what should be a very interesting and active off season!
-
Hey everyone, the postseason is still going strong, but arbitration has started so make sure you log into Ottoneu between now and November 14 to allocate your arbitration dollars! Teams that fail to allocate at least $1 to each team will have all there allocations voided. Eight of twelve teams have already completed their allocations so we're off to a great start!
-
Dang, tough week to be one of the greatest relievers of all time.

Reposting for visibility:
Ephs, I need you to cut one guy to get your roster legal. Looks like you're actually two roster spots over the limit now, but one of those is because Tylor McGill has reinstated from the Covid IL to be added to the wild card roster today. Considering this happened after the regular season finished, I'm happy to let that one slide and say you only need to cut one guy to get right.
-
Yearly subscription. It's given me access to playoff games for 8 years, until now. The package I bought even specifically said postseason was included in the Ts & Cs, but that was changed yesterday to rescind access.
-
Is it a separate package or part of the yearly MLBTV? Either way, shit move.
-
I already contacted MLB fan support on Twitter and I'm getting my subscription refunded. Still very disgruntled though. The audacity to talk about growing the sport internationally and then pull underhanded shit like this.
-
Just found on Twitter that this new international blackout policy was only implemented in the last 48 hours. This guy has screenshots of the policy at the time of purchase vs now: https://twitter.com/baseballbrit/status/1578108745569439744?s=46&t=gmKCDLirwbBZWXFGeLxMYA

For anyone who watched the Guardians/Rays series, however, wow, what a show by Shane and Jose and Shane and Jose.
-
Agreed on both parts. I did bid $99 on SWR because I didn't think there was a downside, but it makes sense.
Death to MLB broadcast agreements. And I hope we don't have any cardinals fans on here, that was rough.
-
I can't find anything in the rules which mentions it specifically, but my thought is that if we don't require teams to make their rosters legal at the end of the season, then there would be no way to guarantee the integrity of end-of-season auctions. Someone could just bid $1000 on every auction to block anyone else from winning.
PS I've just woken up to learn that MLB has blacked out the ENTIRE FUCKING POSTSEASON in Australia. Looks like I'm back to pirating streams.
-
Sorry, didn't realize we needed valid rosters going into the offseason.
-
A couple things before the off-season:
1. We've got 3 illegal rosters that need to be sorted before arbitration begins. DJIB & Ephs each need to cut one guy, and AHWT is $2 over the cap. Please rectify ASAP or I will void your most recent transaction to get your roster legal again.
2. I'd also like to get commitments for 2023. You aren't required to pay until January, but if anyone is thinking of leaving, it would be nice to know now so we can get a new owner in
-
Congrats, DJIB! Awesome season! And thanks, Guy. I tried. Excited to have another go at it next season.
-
Congrats to DJIB (as well as to Bellhorn for the chase and runner-up finish). I'm very excited to build for next season.
-
Congratulations DJIB. Looking forward to watching playoffs and planning for offseason.

Congrats DJIB! We’ll played. The early season trades really paid of!
-
Thanks guys, the team tried as hard as we could to blow it by dropping 10 points in the final month but we pulled it out. Thanks to everyone for being so engaged this year, I think this is the most complete and responsive group of owners we've ever had.
-
So does DJiB take the OPL challenge now???
-
Congratulations to DJIB on a resounding victory! It was neck and neck at the All Star break, but with some aggressive and expertly executed strategy, he left us all in the dust. If only 5 Tooler could see you now!
-
One of my absolute favorite pizza places is Massey's Pizza :o)
-
I’ll bid though F it
-
Damn. Drew Jones. ETA 2028.
-
Not only that, now he's tied for the league lead in ERA and WHIP!
(min 2 IP)
-
@Just A Guy Frieri -- lost in the mix of actual moves today was Cleveland trading Sandy Leon for an actual baseball player. Not cash considerations or a PTBNL. A living, breathing, named human being.
-
I could've sworn I put a waiver claim in for Beeks. Glad to see competition didn't increase.
-
Too easy!
-
No Urbina. Weee good man. I was just concerned that my roster would become invalid and I would have to cut to be valid. It all worked out since I’m over 40 players. No action needed
-
Not sure I want to set the precedent of editing a competed trade, but I can confirm that the $1/roster spot rule only applies to first 40 roster spots, so your roster is legal. If you are still mutually interested in adding an extra dollar of cap room to that trade, the easiest way to do that would be for PB to send AHWT a dollar loan via an empty trade (i.e., without any players included).
-
If it does happen maybe DJIB or Urbina can just remove a 1 dollar cap penalty from a player i cut who sucks that no one wants since i screwed up.
-
Also good point, Dan. You might be right about that!
-
Thanks Joe! I honestly just don't know and it didn't occur to me lol.
-
I didn't think about that either, sorry. Very okay with you having a dollar.
-
I'm pretty sure as long as you have a $1 to cover up to 40 roster spots, you're cool. Additional roster spots don't require you to have money to cover them because they can go away at any time (like the day someone is activated off the 60 day IL).
-
Does anyone know if my roster will be invalid after the PB and AHWT trade? I didn't ask for a dollar, didn't even think about it. Was just curious. My roster sitch after this trade will be 43 of 44 spots filled and 415 out of 415 dollars used. Does that invalid rule only apply up to 40? If this is a problem and I forgot to ask PB to cover that error, can the commish adjust, pending it's ok from PBs perspective to give me a precious dollar.?
-
Josh Naylor seems legit unhinged. Like if Nic Cage could hit a curveball.
-
Cleveland just traded for Sandy Leon, so maybe pump the brakes a bit, buckaroo. Side note: I watched the Naylor walk-off in my neighbor's garage last night -- surprisingly good year to be a Cleveland baseball fan.
-
Of course, both Guy and Ernesto share an affinity for sliders.
-
All correct. And "just a guy" is a common disparagement for easily replaceable players... Rio Ruiz. Sandy Leon. Adam Plutko. Maybe previous management.
-
SGRE is the team name whisperer
-
The saga of Ugueth Urbina's farmhands is truly wild. DJiB is clearly a reference to one of the best arcs on Arrested Development.
-
Honestly I’m not sure I understand anyones team name except SGRE and TTBNL. If anyone you want tell me I’m genuinely interested haha
-
Ernesto Frieri is my best guess. Which, if that’s right, is a super deep cut
-
Wait, isn't it Guy Fieri? Is there a pun I can't figure out?
-
Welcome to Flavortown, bitches!
-
All that decorum will go out the window if JAGF ever cuts their roster down to 11 players, which was another one of my favorite morsels.
-
Just read through that 1006 drama. Wowzers. Thank you all for having a higher level of decorum than the owners in that league.
-
Welcome to the league Morgan! Glad to have you.
-
Wow. can't believe someone got kicked out before I did. Really takes the pressure off.
