Opening day everybody!! Good luck to all!

As long as you guys keep giving away your better players for prospects, and give them the money to do it with this ridiculous loan rule, you will never, never, be competitive. As will not the rest of us that do not take advantage of your ignorance. How are we supposed to compete when you let these guys have $600 + player salaries by the end of the year. It is like Pittsburgh having to compete with the Dodgers. It is not a level playing field. Why can't you see this?

Reminder that the auction is tonight at 9pm eastern. Please try to be on time and have your watchlists populated to keep the nominees rolling in. Good luck to all!

I had missed the second list of cuts Friar. He's done now.
-
All the cuts for Swinging Friar have been made, and the penalties removed. The winning date for the auction is Friday March 7th, with a 9pm eastern start time. That time did not work for 2 league members, but hopefully this gives them an opportunity to make other arrangements to either free up that time, or arrange a proxy to participate for them.

How we looking for an auction date?

Thanks Otto!

The owner has to use the "Cut Players" feature for it to be done automatically. Looks like he cut just one player and did it manually. I can manually remove any roster penalties, so it won't be an issue. New owner needs to complete the cut process and I'll correct any penalties. I'll try to get a poll out to select roster dates tonight or tomorrow. Very glad have 12 teams ready to go.
-
All new owners automatically get a round of free cuts. That's a staple of Ottoneu.
-
OK, we have our 12 and should be able to get an auction scheduled. Also, there is a rule that says if a team takes over after the cut deadline then the league can agree to allow the commissioner to remove players from the new owner's team penalty free, which seems fair. (the new owner already made one cut, maybe that can be undone) Are we OK with that? Do we have any precedent?

I think I found a 12th owner. Will confirm by tomorrow.

This is my last one to schedules. Sooner the better! Down to availability on weekends as 3/2 or 3/16.
-
As soon as someone claims the last team, I'll setup a poll with available dates. We will all vote on the dates. Hopefully one of the dates will suit all 12 of us. if not, the one that suits the most people will be chosen. Others can get someone to be a proxy to draft in their absence.
-
Set a date/time. A weekDAY evening. My schedule is full the weekend of March 8/9; others have stated full March 15/16 schedules. May I say that the draft NOT be HELD without a full league. SET a date/time, yes.

I agree, during the weekend of 14-15-16 March I already have 2 drafts scheduled

I think that could make sense too. The new manager can ensure they can make that draft date/time before joining the league.

I would advocate for setting a date even with a team to fill…not sure about y'all buy my March is filling up

Still waiting for a new owner to take over The Swinging Friar team. It's not a bad roster, and I'm surprised it remains unclaimed. If any of you know anyone looking for a team, please send them this link to examine the roster for themselves. Please ask around in other leagues you're in to see if anyone is interested in adding another team. Thanks! https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1326/team/9147
-
Eleven teams are renewed, and their rosters are legal. As soon as we get that one remaining team under new management, we'll set the draft day. Good luck this year to everyone!

Hi everyone, just claimed the team formerly known as 80 Grade. The teams looks good and i look forward to the season. I will try to get familiar with the roster quickly and try to send some trade offers before cut deadline, i live in italy so they might come at weird hours

3 available teams. Hoping to have those spots filled soon.
-
7 teams have not yet paid for renewal. Please do so before deadline. The free cut deadline is just a week away. Throw out some last minute trade offers and get all rosters below the 40/400 limits before then please. Thank you!!
-
Looking forward to the season in this league! Any luck filling those two vacant manager slots?
-
Hey all, been a great couple years here but I think I’m going to consolidate this league from list. Thanks all.

Arbitration ends on Thursday. so far, 9 or 12 teams have completed the process. Thank you!!
-
Arbitration begins today. Spread the pain to all of your competitors! 😂
-
Hey y'all, probably not a huge surprise if you've been paying attention but I have to abandon my team and the other Ottoneu teams I have. A sudden and drastic life change has left me unable to give my teams the attention that they deserve to contribute to the competitive spirit of the leagues. Hope you all can find a great replacement!

Congrats to Olson Twins on their three-peat…a true dynasty! After missing the playoff last year it was clear that the title match moment was too big for Skuby, but we'll be ready next year to end the streak. Thanks all for a fun season.

Just an FYI all cause I couldn't remember either, but with the two week matchup: In regular season H2H games longer than one week (for example, the first matchup of the season and around the All-Star Break), the GS cap will be the same as it is for regular one week matchups.

Obviously, Betts is the prize. Send me your best offer, will take on whatever of his salary needed to get a deal done. I will select the best offer by the end of the week.
-
Alright gents, been busy the last few weeks with some personal family stuff. Sorry for the inattention to trade offers. But I'm in the clear now and have a bit more time. The sell is on! Despite my brutal place in the standings, I actually have some useful players that I'm gonna sell for the right offer. Not really looking for prospects (but am open to top-top prospects) but rather cheaper big league contributors, the younger the better. Send me your best offer for players on my trading block!
-
Damn! Tough out there. Y’all keep taking my auctions from me!
-
Yeah, looks like all 11 days will be back and forth. Note to self: don’t ever bench Cole Ragans again

Sorry guys, been out of tough for a bit again. See that a trade was vetoed. OT's started auctions based upon trade results. Final auction put roster into violation. Since trade was vetoed, I deleted final auction reslut, as there were no other bidders involved. Again. my apologies, I am in the home stretch and should be back to normal very soon.
-
also agree. First trade i've ever vetoed in my time playing
-
Agreed - the only issue is the cap going back, it's not even a salary dump. Olson Twins getting Jose Ramirez without having to pay anything additionally from a cap perspective. Regardless of what you think about the guys coming back, He's getting an elite fantasy player at no additional cost without giving up any productive players.

I've never vetoed a trade in any Otto league, but...wow. Maybe I'm missing something. Papi gets two barely rosterable players and a prospect (Meyer) who is only rostered in 65% of leagues with a $4 ave cost and was one of the last players nominated last night in exchange for the 2nd best 3rd basemen (Ramirez) and $37 in cap. I'm all for veteran for prospect deals, but...wow.

Just a reminder thanks to efforts of 80 Grade, (who deserves a huge thanks from all of us for stepping up when we needed him!!) the draft will take place tomorrow night beginning at 9pm eastern.
-
Yes. That is the confirmed date. Sorry I thought I had already sent out a confirmation. Thanks for the reminder.
