Hello all. I won’t be renewing next season. Commish, please feel free to “release me” from the team at any time. I’ll hold it down until you can find a replacement, but I don’t want to make cuts/etc., the new owner would prefer it that way

We have a new member to the league. Welcome OFFTHEWALL!

Are we really drafting on Feb 1?

Watching reruns of Brockmire is a great way to cope with the Offseason.
-
Thanks for a great season. I've decided not to renew. Commish can feel free to abandon my team any time.
Good luck to all.

Arbitration is over and we have two plus months of trading opportunity. It feels like a good time to update availability and needs on the trades tab. I want to deal but that's hard to do in the dark!

Just a reminder that arbitration ends tomorrow. Most teams have completed the process but if you choose to you can still make changes. Trading season begins on Wednesday and goes until the middle of January. At that point we will look into setting our draft date.

Usually a renew link pops up on the news bar at the top of the league page at some point in the offseason. I think after arbitration is over if I remember correctly. Don't worry they make it easy to give them money when it's time.
-
It appears from Niv's later posts about Paydala that SSN disclosure is no longer a requirement for using that payment instrument to renew in Ottoneu non-prize money leagues. So, I hope we all return for another season.
But has anyone figured out where to start the renewal process?
It should be somewhere in Ottoneu I'd think, but where? And if not, what link do we use to re-enlist?
Clearly I am clueless. Who knows how to do this?

I won't be giving my SSN out. It's 100% a deal breaker for me.
-
I’m absolutely ok with finishing the season, arbitration, etc.
I absolutely understand the argument as to why they need the KYC info, but they don’t have a track record of security (company is very young).
Also, and I know this is hyper-cynical… Niv & Paydala really don’t have the assets to offer recourse should a significant breach occur. So I’d get my $20 refunded but then I’m on my own. Can’t take that risk for a hobby I can get elsewhere
-
I understand everyone's trepidations. I have concerns of my own. With that said, can we play out the season, complete the arbitration process and then see where this takes us? By all means, if you all want to bail that's fine but can I ask everyone to be just a little patient first. Season renewals don't happen until January.

Yeah SSN is a no go. Absolutely no reason they need that. Will message Niv.
-
Hey fellas,
I've been following the new payment processor rules and I don't feel comfortable giving my SSN and other personal info to a company that just founded in August 2021. This isn't a prize league, and the entry are so small, the risk isn't worth it to me.
As such, I won't be re-upping next year. I wanted to give you guys as much lead-time as possible to find a replacement.
I'm happy to play out the season, but if you find a new dude to take over
-
I'm looking to sell at this point if anyone in interested send an offer or message me. 1 week till the deadline

Im.thinking about writing an epic poem called The Tales of Jurickson Profar about how he has tricked and tortured many a fantasy baseball owner.

So I take it that everyone has a second baseman with a

Altuve on the block. Seeking one or two prospects

First I'm accused of dirty pool, and now I'm part of a trade that was dumb as a mud fence. I feel a lot better about trading foundational talent for rentals now that I'm certain I won't be back next year. This commissioner is bonkers. Future owners beware.
-
How did an owner who clearly does not comprehend the Ottoneu salary cap structure get to be a commissioner? Your restaurant analagy is idiotic. Show me a restaurant with a salary cap that resets annually....
-
“Half of $40 buys a lot of [shitty, unrostered] prospects”
-
Seems like Bus is sweating his grip on 1st place right now. Might be worth a quick reminder that this is a $20 dynasty league my dude. If you're really that whipped about it, you can always go drop $1,500 on an NFBC team if we're not legit enough for your liking.
-
"On what planet does that make sense...use your head" he says, while advocating for dropping high salary guys for NOTHING instead of trading them with cash to get players in return who can be foundational pieces going forward...
-
People should stop PAYING others to take their stars while giving those others the cash to pay them. On what planet does that make any sense? Just drop the high priced guy and then you can clear half his salary the first month, and half the rest of his cost each month thereafter. Half of $40 buys a lot of prospects. C'mon now, use your head.

Well Papi, with all due respect to your opinion, trading prime rib for tofu and then giving the rib guy the $30 difference in the prices you each paid, is well, what? In what universe that does qualify as a rational decision, with the exception that if you are a vegan then you must have mistakenly bought the pricey beef. And you and everyone else in this league are carnivores; we want that pricey beef, especially if it's cheap.

Can't sit on ''the mud fence'' on this one, I have to agree with Mookie Betts, if cash isn't part of trade, big names would be hard to move to another team
-
That being said, Ottoneu is meant to create fantasy baseball that is as close to 'real life' as we can get and in real life, teams are not acquiring a full player's salary if they acquire them at the deadline. If you keep the star player beyond the year in Ottoneu, of course you pay full freight, but real life trades midseason often has cash exchanging hands and effectively never result in the acquiring team paying a full salary....but that's just one "mud fence"'s opinion
-
Glad to know you think so highly of us Magic Bus!
-
I keep wondering why people pay other teams to take their best players. If you move an expensive star for a prospect, why do you think you have to give the guy getting the star enough money to make it even dollar wise? This is dumb as a mud fence.

Or is it a "break glass in case of controversy" kinda place? Excepting the one off condescending smart ass remark. I didn't play high school football even though I was recruited every year, but I did kick a good friends ass junior year over a condescending smart ass remark. Come on boys, let's make this fun!
-
Is this league message board always this quiet?
-
Did you play high school football? If so, maybe your sophomore year at some point you Got to cover a kickoff (return)? Our coaches preached Keep your head on a swivel! Drafts are like that; you can get hit from anywhere, and not all those hits are legal, but they all hurt. Better luck next year.

Gosh I clearly did not pay attention to Injuries as my whole pitching staff hits the IL
-
For the record, I have proposed to reverse the trade. It's entirely up to Smell now whether he wants Springer or Altuve.
-
All good man. Seems like people went a little overboard in evaluating the trade (myself included). Probably could have been handled more diplomatically in PMs but it's all good. I didn't see any issue with it and I'm glad you and Coastal are squared away on it.
-
So just a necessary disclaimer: I have a dry sense of humor and every now and then I'm reminded that it does not always come across as humor in print. Especially among an unfamiliar audience. I will post liberally on the league board because that is part of the fun of being in a league full of intelligent participants. If I have an issue with something it I will take care to make it very clear that I have an issue.
Please feel free to make fun of this post!
-
Okay. We will proceed on toward full on laissez faire trading. Let the buyer beware. I don't like that, but I see that some of you do..

Whoa wait a minute guys. I was just joking. My bad for being half awake and not checking the news first. Chill guys. Bad luck happens. And besides I probably would have done the deal anyway. I needed a bat at 2B that bad.
-
But yeah, Ill offer him back. I'm sure I can find other takers for the best 2nd baseman in the game, even if he misses 6 weeks.
-
I would appreciate if maybe next time you start with solutions rather than assuming bad intentions.
For the record, I don't love the precedent of announcing faults in players being traded. We all are informed fans with access to the same info. I don't understand how it's unreasonable for me to believe he knew. An injured Altuve for an oft injured Springer who is imho a tier below seemed like a pretty fair deal, which is another reason why I figured he knew.
