Arbitration is open - start assigning that money!

Congrats to the champ--and everyone else--it was a very fun season. Looking forward to next season!

Smallville, it looks like you have two cuts to make to get legal. If you could make those here soon I’d appreciate it. Thanks!
-
Great season everyone! Kick back, relax and enjoy some postseason baseball. Arbitration will start up in a couple of weeks!
-
Thanks Capa! It's been a fun season and you've got some runway to make it an interesting final weekend.
As for the commish role, I don't think anyone will notice a significant change. I commish several other leagues and generally aim for a drama-free environment of competitive managers. I only ask that if anyone develops an issue with another team, please come to me first before publicly airing any frustrations. Always better to mediate than scorch the earth. :)
-
Life has caught up to me a bit and I want to make sure things are in good hands here. 1. I hope to see everyone back next year! If you think you might not come back next year, please reach out to Dayton Dragons so we can plan accordingly. 2. Don’t forget arbitration! (~Oct 15-Nov 14); 3. While not official, it looks like the Dayton Dragons are going to take this thing this year. A big congrats on an extremely well run season!

Hey all, as we head into the last days of the season, just wanted to thank everyone for making this such a healthy and active league! We had some turnover since last offseason, but the new managers have been very engaged and helped keep things really competitive. A couple of quick notes before we wrap things up. First, I wanted to let everyone know that I am going to be stepping down as commissioner. I am going to stay in the league, but I am handing the reins over to Dayton Dragons. (cont)

Just a friendly reminder that the trade deadline is this coming Thursday. Get those last minute deals done!

Looking to move Scherzer, Nola, and Musgrove. Make me an offer. I'd like a young arm or two and some outfield depth in return.
-
Letting the league know that Semien is very AVAILABLE in trade..Looking for a Strider/Burnes/Gallen type SP in 1 for 1 deals or two #2 SP's perhaps with productive hitter in multi-player deals..In those deals, a middle of the rotation starter and/or hitter would be included with Semien...
-
PAPI, my dude, you are killing me 😂
-
Trea who?? You say he was considered the preseason's #1 SS? I need to do some research on this Trea guy
-
SS Trea Turner, who was considered
the preseason's #1 rated player in Fantasy, is currently available in trade..Looking for Top Starting Pitcher along with Top Offensive 1B or 3B with Power...
-
Justin Turner is available, if anyone needs very solid production out of 3B/1B.
-
Have put Alek Manoah and Ryan Pressly on Trade Block if either of those wets your whistle..
-
Put Alonso, Lindor, and Nimmo on the block if anyone is interested in one of them. I can't take all the Mets having a bad at the same time anymore.

Looking for a pretty productive 1B with power and/or a 1A top of the rotation SP..2B/SS Marcus Semien very available..SS Corey Seager could possibly be available instead, but the return would have to be both high end 1B and SP together...
-
Except for Max Scherzer and a few others, I would say the pitchers are definitely flustered over the pitch clock and are not making the adjustments..Carlos Carrasco had 2 violations on him yesterday and seemed flustered..The pitchers are pitching quicker than they want to, thus the speed is dropping some and hitters are "big time" benefiting from it..Absolutely love the all the contact we are seeing and the pace of games is outstanding! Looks like 70's and 80's Baseball...Love it!!!
-
Are the balls extra juiced or are pitchers who used to dawdle before the pitch not adjusting?

Oh man, Robbie Manfred is gomma be pissed.

Moving a little closer to home, the Durham Bulls have been rebranded as the Dayton Dragons. Happy Opening Day everyone!
-
Just letting league know that am still looking to trade before season begins..The 2 main guys I’m looking to trade right now are RP Edwin Diaz and 1B/2B/3B DJ Lemahieu...1B Josh Bell could be a possibility to be dealt as well...Looking for good solid SP and/or talented productive OF’s in return...

I am locked out of the draft

We do have quite the legal team brewing here. We'll be at the US v. Canada game as well next week.
-
Also, happy draft day everyone! Don’t forget to get those watchlists loaded up before the draft.
-
So many attorneys play Ottoneu! Which games are you checking out in Miami? My wife and I are headed out to Arizona next week for USA/Canada (woo!) and Reds spring training (😬).

Hi guys. Ahead of the draft I'll introduce myself too. My name is Kim. I live in NH. I've been a public defender for almost 17 years. I've been playing fantasy baseball across most platforms for about 13 years. I took a break for a couple years (I had about 7 teams at once and got a little burnt) and this is my first team since the break. I'm probably a little rusty but I'm excited about getting back into it. I'm currently excited about going to Miami for the first round of the WBC!

T-minus ~46 hours until draft time

Sounds good.

Let's do an M's, Rainiers or Aquasox game this year!
-
Yes on PNW. I’m in Seattle
-
Anyone in the PNW?

Welcome Camden - what an awesome story/background! I started out in Ottoneu 5-6 years ago - I have slowly transitioned to 100% Ottoneu leagues so I think you'll enjoy it.
-
Big welcome from AKA Big Papi, hope we can chat along the road, I'm a baseball nut, very involved in little league baseball in my younger years, I umpired softball leagues (men and women). Can't wait for the season to start

Hey Everyone! Just joined this league this past week and thought I would say hi as well. Completely brand new to Ottoneu and salary leagues, but not at all to fantasy baseball. Baseball has been a big part of my life, as I was involved in it as a reporter/broadcaster, coach, bird dog scout and official scorer. Was very fortunate to cover 2 MLB teams in my sports media career, the Marlins and the Braves. Very “Old School” Baseball so am glad to see the SB and more contact returning this year.
-
Welcome to the league! I'm also an attorney........seems to be a pattern.
-
Thanks Capa! I figured I'd share a little bit more about me. I was born, raised, and currently live in the Cincinnati area where I'm a practicing attorney. I'm a long suffering Reds fan, but will always aim to have at least one Red on every one of my teams. Feel free to over charge me in trade negotiations. I commish two other leagues (568 and 757) and am a member of several others (13, 52, 100, 649, and 1199). I love bringing new people into Ottoneu and I look forward to helping out here!
-
Hey everyone - the Durham Bulls and I have been discussing the idea of him becoming a co-commish with me. To be honest (and some of you have probably noticed), my time to commit to doing everything a good commish should be doing is much more limited than it was a few years ago. This is a great group that is very committed so I want to make sure that we do everything we can to stay successful. As such, I am going to appoint him co-commish. Let me know if you have any questions.
-
Thanks for taking the lead on this! Welcome Scotty!
-
Found someone for Big Gibby Style! Welcome to the league Scotty Mac. He’s new to Ottoneu and has been asking all the right questions over on the forums. This should be a great learning experience for him, so send him a hello! That fills us back up for the draft.
-
I posted the opening for Big Gibby Style on the forums and reached out to a couple people from the Managers Seeking League page. Here's hoping we get that spot filled!
-
I missed the super early deadline by a few hours. I have not looked a any other rosters. Oh well, no auction for me

February 7th.....2021

It would be a pretty big advantage for a current owner to wait until all other teams have cut players to decide who they want to cut. All existing players had from 11/15 - 1/31 to make cuts. That is why there is a cut deadline. However, new owners have had no chance to cut players before, so they get a one-time chance to make free cuts. These are Ottoneu's rules.
-
Any new team claimed after the deadline should come with a single round of penalty free cuts. When did you claim the team?
-
Just curious why new team gets to cut players and I do not??
-
Hello all! My name is Ryan Beck and I just claimed and paid for the Durham Bulls (name change forthcoming). This looks like a fun squad and I'm looking to make my cuts later today. I've been playing Ottoneu since it went public back in 2011 and participate in several leagues. I'm on Slack @beckryac if anyone is over there. I look forward to competing with you all!
