Welcome to the league. Your team is already better than mine lol
-
Just wanted to say hello to everyone and thanks for having me. Really looking forward to being an active manager and building this squad long term. Cheers!
-
Commish Note: Hey guys. Over on the ottoneu forums we found someone to take over the vacant HGH team. I'll let Dan introduce himself once he gets settled in, but he's going to be joining us for the upcoming season. Glad to have him join and keep the league healthy in the offseason!
-
Thanks everyone who got their arbitration done. It's always a fun part of the offseason process and helps (usually) to balance the league a bit each season. Here are some "winners" from arb results:
Teams with Highest Arb Added:
A Love Supreme $23
Chico's Bail Bonds $22
Arthurian Legends $21
Players:
Tarik Skubal $20
Shohei Ohtani $18
Gunnar Henderson $13
Elly de La Cruz $11
Garrett Crochet $9
-
Commish Note: Reminder that today is the LAST day of arbitration. If you don't allocate all your money, none of it will count. And another reminder that after today, the trade window is open again! Cuts have to be made by January 31st to get your roster legal for next season. So between Nov 15 and Jan 31, wheel, deal, and cut bait on those overpriced bums. Happy offseasoning everyone!
-
One week left to do (or edit) arbitration! I haven’t had any luck filling the spot yet, but hopefully sooner than later!
-
Hey all, HGH had let me know that he won’t be coming back for next year. Sorry to see him go and glad he could be in the league for the years he was.
We already have a new owner for Swamp getting set up after Swamp left. But we now have an open team for HGH’s squad. If anyone has leads on a new owner, let me know otherwise I’ll open it up on the ottoneu forums.
-
Arbitration is open for the next month! Remember that you must spend all $30 and $1-$3 to each team. Otherwise it won’t count any of your allocations. Good luck jacking up the other teams’ salaries!
-
Morning all. If you are looking for updates on when loans disappear, prize money is available, etc., follow this link: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/end-of-the-2024-baseball-season-megathread/14609. It looks like things are a little behind schedule but salary increases should take effect and loans and cap penalties should disappear soon. Arbitration is coming up in less than a week!
-
Hey all, we do have a manager lined up to take over for Swamp, but if you know of anyone else, you can let me know. Just in case that one falls through or if we have any other drops (hopefully not!). But yeah, I guess also let me know if you plan to leave the league after this year, but I hope everyone else is staying!
-
We won’t be returning next season. Feel free to abandon our team so you guys are able to get a replacement early. It’s been fun but need to cut back on some of our teams. Best of luck to everyone

Congratulations to everyone on another fun season in the books! Next steps are getting rosters legal (by this year’s standards) after end of the season on September 29th. I WILL be changing the league name and division names this off-season. I don’t know if we should mix up who is in what division somehow or other or not.
Anyway, it was a fun season and I hope everyone is already as excited as I am about the off-season and next year!
-
Looks like playoffs are more or less set at this point. Good luck to all the teams in the playoffs this year.
-
Sorry my bad- disregard that about rushing.
-
FYI- Dalton Rushing is not available for auction.
-
Seager, Alonso And Machado available for best offer. Otherwise will be releasing them Sunday evening
-
Commish Note: Just a reminder/realization that this week is a long week because of the all star break. I just realized it myself. So you can plan your SP matchups accordingly maybe. There are three days of games next week (Fri-Sun) that will count toward the matchup.
-
Congratulations boys! We made it to the start of the “real” season! Remember this week’s matchup is actually a little longer than normal so check the schedule and your SP slots. Good luck to everyone week 1!
-
I really have no preference on the league/division names. Makes no difference to me. My team will be mediocre/poor either way
-
We trust in you to make the call
-
I’ll try to post a Google Form poll tonight and find some “what most people want” sort of solution. lol.
-
The last suggestion is also great
-
The only issue is I don’t necessarily want to resign things if people care. I think we should maybe randomize divisions next year, but only if most the league is okay with it.
I lean toward the Expos and the Pilots as our two league names. Two amazing defunct teams. Lol
-
How bout We the North as we aren’t all Canadian
-
So, have we decided on new league and division names? I really like the Canada vs USA division split
-
Rosters are uploaded, and it SAID there were no errors. Please double check your rosters before season starts.
Cutting, trading, and ottoneu auctions are all live!
Please remember that auctions for now have a random coin flip for high bid ties (until the season starts).
Good luck to everyone this year!
-
Reminder: After about 40-50 players have been drafted, I will be opening the nomination limit to 3 instead of 2.
-
Couch Managers draft is live! Remember 12 hour resets, continuous clock, and don't nominate fake Shohei Ohtani. :D We will do a pause for HGH around March 10th or so, but besides that the clock will tick.
Let me know if you have any questions!
-
Reminder that our draft is expected to start Tuesday morning around 9 a.m. EST. 12 hour resets when a new owner wins high bid. No sleep shutoff, so make sure you check each night and morning to make sure you don't lose a guy you wanted. Good luck to everyone in the draft. Contact me with any questions!
-
Default the American closest to the border… we know you want to be a part of Canada
-
Like this idea
-
Happy to hear we've got one honorary Canadian. Need one more. I think those divisions are way better then the ones we currently have. 👍
-
I like the names, happy to be an honorary canadian
-
I’m down for whatever as well. I like the Expos idea for one as well, or even some hall of famers name can work too. We do have 4 north of the border, so we are close to a split. I’m sure there are a couple that would want to be an honorary Canadian lol
-
I'm down for changing the league/division names but I can't think of any good alternatives at all
-
I almost feel like we should have a Yanks and Expos division lineup but I don't think we have QUITE that many Canadians. Only 3? Anyway, open to ideas!
-
Guys, I know we talked about this last year and people were on board, but I think it's time.
Anyone have suggestions on a new League Name and new Division Names? Something baseball related and preferably not stolen from another Ottoneu league?
:D
Taking suggestions before we change it before the start of the season.
-
Keepers have been added on CouchManagers. It looks like everything went in without issue? Please double check your rosters!
Notes!
Reminder that CM will NOT let you nominate your final spots if they don't match an open position. It's an annoying wrinkle. (Empty 3B and one spot left? Can't nom an SP).
SP Ohtani is "available" in the queue on CM for auction. He CANNOT be auctioned as he is owned in our league already. We had this last year and it was fine because no on
-
Hey just a reminder that no trades, cuts, or auctions should be started or anything until after our draft takes place. It looks like it would let someone try to start someone. Not sure why and can’t find a setting to block it. So uhhh please don’t do anything until after the draft. :)
-
Reminder to please sign up for CouchManagers draft this weekend if you haven't done so yet. We're halfway signed up right now. I'll need to get the keepers imported and fix any errors. The auction will begin around 9 a.m. EST on March 5th.

Please sign up here and make sure your username indicates something that can help me know which team to import from ottoneu to match up.
I think the current plan is ultimately that we will start the auction on -March 5th- and then put a 24 hour pause on the draft around March 10th to help accommodate HGH with his schedule. It will make it a little strange, but I think it's the best solution.
-
Sorry guys. I’ll be pretty much off the grid on March 9. Im back in the states the morning of the 10th after 24 hours of travel time. If the draft is taking too long then one option is the change the auction timers a few days in to speed up the pace.
-
I'm on holidays and in VEGAS baby!!! From the 9-15 or March so earlier the better. Obviously if we start the 10th I'll make it work.
-
I'm open to starting it whenever. The 10th or tomorrow....makes no difference to me
-
Still tentatively planning to start March 10th but we might want to give consideration to starting earlier. The first games are March 20th this year, and last year it took us 9 days to finish the draft. That might be cutting it a little close. Should we consider starting a few days earlier? Not sure how that would work with HGH’s schedule but that’s a razor thin line maybe if we start on the 10th.
-
That would be fine by me. That extra day might kill me when we finally get to the 9th though. :D
-
Can we start on March 10? I am traveling internationally on the 9th- thanks.
-
Commish Note: I just updated the draft date because it was set to Feb 1, 2024. I didn't want to risk it messing up somehow and drafting. We will still be doing our draft using slow-auction on Couch Managers because it's worked really well in the past for us. It'll probably start on March 9th, but it won't be on ottoneu.
