Papi took a closer look at his old roster and decided to return to our league. Welcome back!
-
One week remains to complete arbitration. Please complete it by the deadline.
-
Reminder: 10 days left to complete arbitration. Still working on finding a manager for the open team.
-
I have marked Papi's team as abandoned. Again, if anyone knows someone interested in joining, please send them my way.
-
Thanks for letting me know, Papi. If anyone knows someone interested in joining, let me know. If not, I’ll post the team in a few days.
-
Hi Commish and owners, congrats to the winners, wanted to say it's been a pleasure playing with all of you this season. Got way too many leagues and cannot maintain the rythm (time consuming and $$$). So I won't be renewing many of my leagues like this one, got some talent to attract new owner for next year so you should be able to quickly fill vacancy. have a good arb and a great future season! Thanks Commish for great work
-
With the season wrapping today, kudos to Rowdy and Daigos on their efforts to reach the Top 3 and earn payouts for this season. We already have one new manager for next year in Cary-Grove Fowl Balls. If anyone else is considering departing, please let me know ASAP so I can recruit a replacement. And, as always, a reminder to stay relatively active/engaged through the winter. It's a slower pace, but there are still tasks to be accomplished. Thanks, everyone.
-
Thanks for the welcome. Glad to be part of the league.
-
The open team has a new manager. Thanks to Rowdy for the suggestion. Steve - welcome to the league, officially.
-
Ray "Bloody" Purchase has informed me he will no longer continue managing his team. Before posting his team to the Ottoneu community in search of a new owner, if anyone knows of someone who is interested in joining a league like this, please send them my way. I'll give it a day or so for responses, and then will open it up to the community if no one chimes in.
-
Still looks off to me? I should have an extra 2 or 3,000 points.

Update: The scoring issue is reportedly resolved. Standings are back to accurate.
-
Update: Ottoneu is apparently missing data as far back as mid-July. Niv (Ottoneu founder) continues to investigate. When all is settled, I'm expecting some changes to the standings points. I'm figuring this won't be massive, since it is impacting everyone.
-
The issue is apparently more widespread, impacting data back to 8/3. FanGraphs is working on a fix. Updates can be found here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/offensive-stats-missing-from-8-7-24/14476
-
It appears offensive stats from last night are missing across the board for Ottoneu this morning. I’ve made note of it in the tech support thread and figure it will resolve soon.
-
3-4 weeks c'mon, cuts are made, sorry guys trying to maintain the cap
-
Ignore the idiot behind the curtain then as I didn’t do much insight juts could have swore there had a been a red team in the standings for weeks. As you were

Based on his transactions, he's been over for less than 12 hours.
-
I don’t think it’s been 3-4 weeks… Maybe a couple of days… It won’t let you bid on auctions when your team is illegal and he just won 4 in a row. He has a lot of teams, I’m sure cuts are coming.
-
Anybody in contact with Papi to make sure everything is ok. Roster has been illegal going on 3-4 weeks now. Hope all is well with him and/or his family

OK thanks, but I've seen much worse in some leagues
-
Papi, The trade was: Alex Bregman ($26), Steven Kwan ($8), Will Smith ($1) for Corey Seager ($32) and Joe Ryan ($8). As for anonymity, I was contacted directly. Had a back and forth with the person, recognized the points being made and the gravity of what was being said, and chose it was best to wipe away the deal and attempt to re-work it. Since I was contacted directly, I’ve chosen to keep that between me and them.
-
I would like to know what was the trade, and why the opposed owner wants to stay anonymous?
-
For further clarity - other managers should not feel that the commish cancelling trades is going to become a standard in this league. The only other deal I have done this on was one where I was alerted to a mistake. I only canceled this one because I was a party to the deal and wish only for the league to continue in harmony as it has for years now. Drake - sorry you’re wrapped up in this. We’ll try to get things ironed out and moving forward smoothly.
-
Bregman, meanwhile, has no surplus left. Played 40 more games but scored less points. 3 ppg of difference is a lot. And don’t be fooled by the “total points” conversation bc while Seager doesn’t get the points from the 40 games he misses, the manager does.
The throw-in’s are inconsequential, but fwiw, Ryan was dealt for Fried straight up in another league. Not sure Kwan is commanding that in this format, where he isn’t very good.
I’m ok with it but agree w/anonymous. I
-
I’ll preface this by saying I don’t think any “honest” trade should be vetoed. In other words, as long as it’s fair / reasonable, you’re both adults & paying to be here, at that.
That’s more of a difficult one to accept from an “integrity of the league” standpoint. Drake doesn’t appear to be trying in 24’ (no worries) but this doesn’t help him long-term. It does, however, give the best SS in the league, in April - not August, who has surplus value, at 8+ ppg, to arguably the
-
I am cancelling the agreed upon trade because a manager in this league has a major problem with it. He wishes to remain anonymous. We will re-work this deal, if possible.
-
Yes. I have seen major upset/discussion because of it. I make my intent public so no one can be particularly upset if a high cash equivalent obtains either player.
-
Rowdy, I haven't seen it pulled off in a major way in this league or the other I am in, but I know it's legal by the rules of the platform. Cap relief has obviously been achieved via trades. Just haven't seen a true "buy" via trade in these leagues. I know it happens across the Ottoneu universe.
-
So no one gets upset...I have been offering Pablo Lopez and Corbin Burnes for cash & a player. I know selling for cash can be sensitive.
-
Jeff - Payouts come from Ottoneu. Maybe Matt Olson hits 74 this year and Trout plays a full season. Who knows? The joys of Opening Day!
-
Good luck and let’s have a good season. Jet, you can make the check out to Jobu.

It won’t be that early, Rowdy. But I plan to log on around 7:10-7:15 Central.
-
Final reminder: Draft is TONIGHT at 7:30 Central. If everyone who is drafting is logged on early, we can start early.
-
FYI - There are some sporadic issues accessing the Auction Draft lobby via Chrome browsers (I am currently having this issue in this league despite not having it in my other league). I recommend testing your access prior to Sunday. If you have a red bar at the top with an error message, the solutions appear to be either: 1) Clearing your cache; 2) Using Incognito Mode on Chrome or 3) Using a different web browser. If you have questions, please reach out.
-
Reminder: We are drafting on Sunday.
-
Does anyone object to the draft being held the evening of St. Patrick's Day?
-
Works for me.
-
ok by me

Rowdy Old Boys good for March 17 FA auction

We have passed the keeper deadline. The next step is setting a draft day. We have to draft a little earlier this year because the Dodgers and Padres begin play on March 20, with the rest of the league starting March 28. I've set March 17 at 7:30 pm Central Time as our time. Please let me know if that doesn't work and we will adjust.
-
I have been informed there was an error in the recent trade agreement between Daigos and The Yellow Darts. There were multiple offers submitted and the wrong one was selected. I will be voiding this version of the deal so the parties can accept the correct version.
If both sides let me know of something like this in the future, I will do the same thing.
-
The vacant team has been claimed. Welcome to the league, Al. A reminder to all: the next deadline is January 31 to make your cuts and payments.
-
It's December 1 and our vacancy (No Free Bases) is proving tougher to fill than previous vacancies have. If anyone knows of someone interested in taking over a roster, please send them my way. Thank you.
-
Two teams failed to complete arbitration in the month-long timeframe to do so. The next deadline is the January 31 keeper deadline. Please make sure your teams are draft compliant by that date or inform me you no longer wish to participate in this league. We already have one vacant team I am trying to fill. I really don't want to have to fill two more. Be sure to check in at least periodically during the offseason to fulfill your responsibilities.
-
No Free Bases has informed me he is leaving the league. His team will be posted shortly.
-
Warning Track Power’s team has been claimed. If anyone else is contemplating dropping the league, please let me know ASAP so I can find a replacement. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing arbitration decisions continue to roll in over the next few weeks.
-
Warning Track Power has decided to leave the league. I have posted his team so it can be claimed. If anyone else is considering leaving, please let me know.
-
We are approaching the start of the arbitration window. If anyone is considering leaving the league, please let me know ASAP so I can start the process of finding a new manager.

I encourage everyone to read the "End of 2023 Season Updates" link at the top of the page. But I'm pulling out one key line for those who won prizes.
Monday, October 9: Prizes will be logged in the database and you’ll be able to see what your prize total looks like across all your teams. Withdrawal will be made available at a future date once that process is fully tested with our new payment processor.
