I'll re-allocate $$$ to non-arb teams ensuring they get $3 instead of an owner who participated

Nothing happens, teams would be putting themselves at a disadvantage is all. I suppose we could come up with a house rule for the league pertaining to arb allocations, but it hasn't been an issue in our first few seasons so I don't think that's necessary.

What happens, if anything, if a team doesn't allocate? I assume the manager is not penalized, but maybe I am wrong.
-
One week to go before the arbitration deadline, five teams still haven’t allocated…

Alright, back to business. We have officially entered the arbitration period. Teams have until November 14 to set arbitration allocations. It's very important for the sake of competitive balance that everyone use all of their allocation budget - so please don't wait on this!
Also, if you do not plan to keep your team for next season, please let me know asap so I can start looking for replacements. This last season was the most competitive season yet and I do hope every GM plans to r

Indeed! Two great finishes! 2016Dream owned us all from the start of the season. Congrats to the winners!
-
What a year it's been. Junior Mints is a perennial powerhouse in our league and really deserved to win the championship. Last day of season is a hard one to be 'make or break'. Not sure how to spend the extra time now that the season is over. Enjoy the offseason everyone.

Congrats 2016Dream and Mantequilla. Two nail biters until the last day!
-
I think I just blew a 150+ point lead in two days. Maybe I should just stick to waiver wire signings...
-
Good luck in the championship y’all!
-
Congrats to 2016Dream and Junior Mints on making the championship. Good luck to you both!
-
Thanks GM, it was a good back and forth battle this week!

Nice season GM and Mantequilla! It will be a battle with JM. Love this game of baseball now I just hope my Cubbies can stay in the wild card hunt.

Congrats JM! Sub-goal achieved, but team just didn't have enough. Good luck!
-
Ha! I’ll be lucky to get away with that again. Good luck!

My main goal is to win this week, of course, but my sub-goal is to not lose by more than 100 like my last two meetings against the Mints. Get the bats ready, team!
-
It was a good run champ...hope I can navigate these playoff teams the way you did last season

Welp it’s only fitting that subpar pitching would ensure I didn’t somehow sneak into the playoffs. Best of luck to everyone and look forward to another competitive season!
-
Also anyone using gmail is not getting emails…
-
Hmmmm… I didn’t “let” you have them, can’t speak for the rest of the league though!
-
Let's just say I am glad I didn't start Hunter Greene in the Ottoneu league today. Yeeeeikes!
-
Looking at the standings and I’m very pleased with how competitive the league is in just year 3! Good luck to all those fighting for a playoff spot.
Remember the trade deadline is approaching quickly. I’m looking to add a SP and RP, I’ve reached out to a few of you already. And thanks everyone for letting me have Crews and Skenes, all of a sudden the Mints are a bit prospect heavy.

I think it’s too little too late. Harper and Judge being out half the season was a killer. And trea turner just remembered how to play baseball. Then my pitching staff loved serving up multi HR games to the A’s. First world problems :D

Rumors of your demise in this League have been greatly exaggerated...nice to see you Champ

My pitchers heard my call about being fired into the sun.

I really did think 2016Dream was untouchable!

JSM is our defending League Champion

Well done Green Monsters! I was due a loss and your win this week well deserved. No sympathy here for Mullett!!

Well folks, just won my championship in this league as far as I am concerned. 2016Dream hadn't lost since April, so I needed a big week this week to beat them and did it. As Mullet's pitchers blast off towards the sun, they'll see the celebratory fireworks I'll be sending up in the sky.
-
Lmao. My entire pitching staff should be fired into the sun
-
So, ah, I take it all back about Strider. I'm glad he's reading this message board because he seems to have righted the ship. I knew he couldn't live with negative points, I knew it!
-
Hopefully the Braves clue into that at this point.
-
he only has two pitches...he's gonna make a fine RP until he gets another

Spencer Strider is one of the best pitchers in the league, right? Universally accepted truth?Methinks he got hyped up a bit too much... blagh.
-
Week in and week out my pitchers make the last place team divisional teams look like all stars. Smmfdh.
-
Someone's got money to spend... :)
-
Welp, yet another bad week to face the Mints! Not that my team was going to do much against anyone anyway.
-
Sicksinker did what I need to do to most of my pitching Staff
-
If I had gone up against Junior Mints for all seven weeks this season I'd have gone 5-2 (including the one loss we faced off against each other already). Please, let there be random H2H justice this week for the Monsters!
-
Always remember no matter how bad you are at your job. You’re not the guy who signed Jameson Taillon to a 4 year $68 million contract. Absolutely horrendous pickup for the cubs.
-
Nice. I thought Perez's line was pretty bad against Oakland but nooooo, the new Monster couldn't handle the 'last place' Cardinals apparently. I know St. Louis is probably coming alive, so it's not entirely surprising, but let me know if there's a Reverse Trade button ... ;)
-
That Rooker guy has been surprisingly impressive. Not sure if anyone else is going to give up 3 homers against them, though.
-
“ Perez is tentatively scheduled for a favorable road start in Oakland during next weekend's four-game ”
Gives up 3 HRs to the worst team in baseball. Lmao. Lmfao.
-
Huh, you're right! I didn't think to look back as to who originally owned the player a month ago. Thanks for solving the mystery.
-
TLDR - it’s a strategy to trim off cap penalty
If it’s been more than 30 days since you cut a free agent and they have a cap penalty more than $1, you can start an auction and then cut them again to reduce the cap penalty.
-
Am I missing out on an Ottoneu strategy? We've had a couple of auctions bid on and then the player is immediately dropped. I know the cap hit isn't huge, but I'm curious as to what the motivation is. Maybe people are having players come off the IL earlier than anticipated, thus causing a roster crunch...
-
The weather hosed both of us but think you def got it worse as strider has been unstoppable. Glad I don’t see this matchup again for a while 😅
-
Ah well, that ended up much closer than I thought it was going to be a few days ago. Could have used you, Strider!
-
To add, we saw this same level of effort from their minor league team too: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cro6s21PFEO/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
