Using the commissioner's roster management tools, I can "manually" process trades before the auction. It's a bit of a pain in the butt on my end, but if we wanted to open up to trades, the number will probably be manageable. Is this something that other people are interested in? Or does anyone have objections? The trades won't be subject to league review, so if there are vetoes we would have to collect and tabulate them ourselves as well. However, I don't think that will be an issue.

Niv's answer is no. See https://community.ottoneu.com/t/trades-post-keeper-deadline-and-pre-draft/11228/2

I wonder if we can contact Niv to let us trade in the interim and auction later...

i would try for a date but will do what the majority wants

Okay, at least one person can't make the March 6th auction. Seeing as I had said that the auction would be postponed, I think that we should find a date either later in March or perhaps April.
Do we want to set a date now or wait to see what happens with the CBA negotiations?

I'm with the Ignorant guy, we are all equally in the dark. Let's enjoy a good draft even if we can't enjoy baseball just yet. Open trades up, and not struggle to schedule a date later.

If there is a deal i'm open to draft this Sunday. If negotiations go to hell, i'm hesitant to spend any time drafting for a season that may not happen

I'd like to do the auction sooner rather than later, but am curious as to thoughts are about having it later this week. Open to all ideas.
-
I think there is a good chance for a deal this week guys . If so, are we still planning on a draft Sunday?

Let's see how it goes. I'm suddenly hopeful for an agreement this week

Hey all. Ottoneu emails were blocked by Gmail for a while tonight, so you may have missed some cuts if you rely on emails to monitor league activities. Fortunately, they seem to be working again (knock on wood).
To view transactions--including cuts--go to: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1337/transactions
You can also use the player search tool to identify new free agents.
Everyone's rosters are now legal. We'll set a new data for the auction soon, hopefully

Marte and Franmil Reyes are also available....

Just a final reminder that tonight at 11:59pm Eastern is the keeper deadline.
If you have an illegal roster (>40 spots or >$400), then you won't be able to participate in the auction and you'll have to make cuts in-season with cap penalties. There are two teams currently in that position: Carter Park Orioles ($434) and The Avengers (41 players). Just making sure that you're aware that some roster moves are necessary.
Finally, let's postpone the auction u

Just a reminder that the keeper deadline is Tuesday, February 15th at 11:59pm Eastern. Your roster must be at or under $400 with 40 or fewer players. If your roster is illegal, then you can't take part in the auction. Also, if you don't make cuts before the deadline and enter the season with an illegal roster, then you'll incur salary penalties for any in-season cuts needed to get legal.
I'm not going to make any post-deadline cuts, so please be sure to do them by the end of Tuesda
-
Yeah, we're all going to be in the same boat. I also think that a deal will come together quickly in the next few weeks, seemingly out of nowhere. So, FWIW, I expect the season to start on time because there's so much money on the line.
There's also the logistical difficulty of finding a good time. Based on the poll, the best date is Sunday, March 6th. Let's set it for 6-10pm Eastern. We can revisit closer, but let's have it on the calendar for now.

as long as i can fit in my schedule that is fine by me...but we are all operating in the same darkness so it is still a level playing field IMO

Can we draft after the lockout ends? It is hard to draft when free agency isn't complete, and there is no news on player health etc. Seems unlikely this is done by March but maybe im wrong
-
We have to set a date for our auction, so I've set up a poll for some weekend afternoons/evenings in March. If we need to do it over the course of the week, we can. But I figured we'd start with weekends. If everyone can take a moment indicating their availability, that would be great. The poll will close on Friday at 11:59pm.
PLEASE USE YOUR TEAM NAME RATHER THAN YOUR REAL NAME.

Hey all! Today was the original Keeper Deadline; however, Niv extended it to February 15th. He announced today that deadline will not be moved (https://community.ottoneu.com/t/keeper-deadline-adjust-if-lockout-occurs/10611/15)
Please be sure to make your cuts by then. I will not process cuts after the deadline, so not getting under $400 and 40 spots would likely have a major impact on ability to field a competitive team.
If you're not going to particiate in 2022, please

Hey all. Hope everyone's off-season is going well. 9 out of 12 teams have completed arbitration, so thank you to everyone who has done it already. If you haven't gotten to it, please do it soon. The deadline is Sunday, 11/14/21 so just over a week away. I usually can do it in 10-15 minutes and it really helps maintain the year-to-year competitiveness of the league. So please find the time to it. As always, happy to answer any questions about it! Thanks in advance.

Congratulations Otto Eight. That was an interesting half season. It was fun. Enjoy the offseason.

Congrats Otto! Nicely done Barrels and Hawaiian too.

Congrats Otto!

Thanks! I'm just grateful it ended when it did. I was out of innings, and getting very lucky with some hitting down the stretch.

I keep grinding through my innings pitched allowance. I'll be out soon and the Overrated Hawaiians are going to blow right past me.

Yes, the add and cut were correct. Thank you so much, and I’m sorry for being such a pain. Chris.

Having heard no objections, I added $5 Otto and cut $1 Taillon (with penalty). Please double-check to make sure that I did everything correctly. :)

I always enjoy seeing senior moments that I was not personally involved in. Please fix it for him.

I am definitely not starting Taillon tonight. Thank you all for being so understanding.
-
I'm fine with fixing this if no one has any objection. If anyone does, please just DM me so you can stay anonymous. One objection and we won't fix it, so please only DM if you object. Assuming there are no objections, I will make this adjustment at around midnight tonight Eastern to give everyone a chance to weigh in. Otto doesn't pitch tonight, so there's no urgency to immediately resolve. IMBM, please don't start Taillon tonight since you intended to have cut him.

honest mistake pointed out right away so, i am ok w/fixing--if it wasnt caught right away i woudl say tough luck

I just had a senior moment where I meant to cut Jamieson Taillon and I actually cut Glenn Otto who I had just picked up. I have asked the commissioner if this can be fixed. If it can't or people think I should live with my mistakes, I accept the consequences of my stupidity. I'm sorry, Chris.
