I would say no only because it’s just part of the game. McCullers for me is out and I’d like to cut him too but I made the choice (wrong one) to keep him

So our really expensive closer just got too happy and is now out for the year. Is it possible to cut him before the draft?

Has the team with no owner been marked abandoned so it can hopefully be claimed by tomorrow?
-
I am willing to shop Aaron Judge for the right price. But it’ll have to be real good cause he’s also on such a great deal.

Just a reminder, arbitration ends tomorrow. Make sure to use all of your dollars and make sure you allocate at least $1 to each team. Don't let the competition raise your salaries without returning the favor!
Let me know if anyone has any questions.
-
We do the Allocation method. This is where between now and November 14th you can allocate dollars to other team's players to increase their costs.
-
Do we do the "Vote off Player" Arbitration? if so how do we nominate a player?

A reminder about arbitration folks - it ends Nov 14th. TO help keep the league competitive - you should participate.

Hey all, hope everyone is enjoying playoff baseball. This league was a blast this year, congrats Northsiders on a fantastic championship run! Looking forward to next year

Tatis is available. Looking for SP and OF
-
He's not on the 40-man, and the 60-day IL is only utilized to open a roster spot on the 40
-
Question : Why is GRod on 7IL when we know that he won't pitch again this season?
-
Happy All-Star break. Looks like we're in for an exciting stretch run over the last six weeks of the regular season. Wouldn't be surprised to see things come down to Sunday of Week 20. Who will prevail and get the coveted second playoff bye? Can Sandy Sons hold off the trio of 6-8 teams fighting for the last playoff spot? Time will tell. Good luck everyone!
-
Looking at the waiver claims history, it looks like only sandy had put in a claim. Not sure if the checkbox got removed for you, reignmen?
-
I agree, that's weird. Has anyone else noticed a waiver claim not going through that should? My only guess is that it uses total points scored.
-
I don't know, that is weird. I agree the rules say priority goes to lower in standings. Reignmen was 0-2 while Sandy was 1-1, so Votto should have gone to Reignmen. Did Ottoneu make a mistake?

I was just curious I thought waiver claim went to lowest in the standings? How did sons get votto when my team was in 9th and sons was in 6th

Congrats to all on making it to opening day.

I would add on by saying the downside of loans is for a team to let’s say compete and having to take a loan from another team, come cut time to trim down payroll can make it more difficult. But I would say it’s a balanced transaction.
Sweet Spot on

The other thing I'll say is it does require a shift in view from the competitive balance in a single year, to the balance over a string of years. Some teams may end up with 200+ loans in or out, but that's part of the uniqueness of the ottoneu system imo
-
I'm not the one to ask for downside! I think their logical to make deals work. The amount of additional cap space you receive/give and how that is valued with respect to the players exchanged is the question for me, but loans in general allow for rebuilding teams to move expensive stars for cheap prospects/future value or for teams who have more immediate needs to move on from an injured guy, etc.
-
Thanks for the example Rhys. So what's the downside of giving out loans if cap is separate and cap is what determines whether your roster is legal or not?
-
It would have shown in the offer the same way that it shows on the accepted deal (under the last player on the team who's giving the loan)
-
should that have shown in the trade offer? or does it automatically happen?
-
Just a thing to match costs to allow for greater flexibility in moves. You'll now have a total budget of $383, but more importantly $7 of cap space (imo, budget becomes pretty much irrelevant from the end of the draft to the end of the season, but cap space is very meaningful). Does that make sense?
-
There is an outgoing loan of $17 on the trade we just did with Sandy Sons of Bichettes, what is that?
-
nice job on that trade

Hey guys, sorry for ghosting in the middle of the draft. My dog decided to roll the life dice and eat a bunch of my wife's medicine, so we had a fun little emergency vet visit. He's fine, just cost me a lot of real and quasi-real money today.

Part of the strategy of the game included having deadlines from drops - i totally appreciate new teams getting to drop players, but teams that dropped based on seeing what other teams were doing, should be able to reclaim players at the dropped value prior to the auction.
