If the trade goes through I will offer him back. I already said I would accept a veto or commish cancel. It's not that big of a deal.
Btw if anybody wants altuve for 4 months this year give me about 72 hours and he will be available. Looking for an outfielder
-
I voted to uphold the trade because it's a savvy decision and even if you disagree with it, who are you to come after another league member like that on a public forum because you disagree with the decision to take the trade? That's the risk we all run every time we make a trade offer and just because you might not have done the same thing doesn't mean you have the right to browbeat someone else over it.
-
Magic my guy, you need to let us know what the weather is like in your ivory tower up there. Caveat emptor my friend. If the trade was hanging out there, I don't blame Coastal for taking it. And for what it's worth, it's hardly like Springer is a lock to play 160 games given his own injury history. AND we play in a dynasty league for a reason. Just because Altuve isn't going to be available for the first six weeks doesn't mean this trade is "rotten" or "dirty pool"
-
Well, Coastal. I have played a lot of tennis in my life, and until you get paid for it, you call the lines on your side of the court. Guys who call balls out that were in ruin the game for everyone involved. If you assumed Smell knew of it, and you offered the trade without a comment on Altuve's injury ... which sounds wrong to me and perhaps to Smell the Glove ... if you are an honest man you will reverse the trade and offer to give Springer back. If Smell rejects ... you are in the clear.

Altuve's injury aired on national television. I legitimately thought he knew and I don't think that's an unreasonable read.
-
Magic, I didn't discover anything. His injury was apparent immediately when it happened, was updated here, and was on mlb trade rumors. i wasn't trying to pull a fast one but I sure as hell don't like people accusing me of being dirty.
-
Coastal, we don't do Commish Cancels in this league. If you want to do the right thing, you will trade Springer back and take Altuve. Meanwhile, I hope the league will veto this rotten deal before we have to hope Coastal will do the right thing.

"I figured you knew?" You knew, and discovered Smell did not know but jumped on that deal anyway. I am saying this as a participant and not as a co-commissioner: this is dirty pool. This deal should be vetoed. Vote against it. I did.

I figured you knew. I'm a bit higher on Altuve than Springer especially for the positional depth and specifically made trades contemplating this one. If you feel it's not fair, I'll accept a veto or commish cancel and try to figure something else out.
-
So Altuve just failed his physical....

Hey everybody, draft tomorrow at 1:00 eastern time. See you all tomorrow!

We are looking for someone to take over the Trout's. If we don't find an owner those players will not become free agents. They will remain on that team until, eventually, it is claimed.
Sgt. Pepper on

Do we still have an unclaimed team and if so do those players become free agents available to be drafted?
-
I’m going to be submitting the “free cuts” tomorrow or Tuesday evening. I’m just finishing up getting my hands around everything.
-
Welcome to the league! Don't forget that you get a round of penalty free cuts. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Hello fellas. I've been looking for a new home once my old league finally collapsed (33 years... I was in for the last ~10). I figured id claim an orphan team and see if Ottoneu is a good fit. I'm looking forward to the challenge, and good luck to everyone!
-
Otto used to block ownership of multiple teams associated with one laptop or phone, and may still do so. They still should IMO. We don't need to do that though. Odds are someone will adopt one or both orphans, but if not now, 1) we have enough strong teams to have a competitive league of ten, and 2) allocations and the off season are rebuild time when we will assuredly fill this league.

So in the event we don't find two new owners is it legal for a current owner to run two teams in the same league to keep it from folding? I'm aware of the inherent conflicts of interest issues that could arise. Just asking. Never encountered this possibility.
-
We have always found guys eager to take on a challenge and build a winner. I believe 2023 will turn out that way. It always has.

We're still looking for two more managers yes? Would be a shame if the league folded...

Welcome to the league LHR. Just a reminder, you get a round of penalty free cuts. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi there new owner just took over SMF. Seven years Ottoneu experience. As a new owner am I allowed any additional cuts?

Welcome to the league. Great to have you. Work on those friends.

Just paid and joined. Working on my friends group to take the other teams. I'll have cuts done over the weekend. Looking forward to a good season!

Fingers crossed

The four teams that I abandoned were unpaid for this coming season. They were not listed on the Claim Teams page. By abandoning those teams, they are now able to be claimed. Let's see if they get grabbed.

The end is here. Midnight EDT 2024 season dues should be paid. If you want to draft in March, be sure your payment status is current through January 2024.

The end is near: there are just six days left to spend $20 and re-enlist in Ottoneu 2023.
If you plan to compete in 2023, pay up now!

So nobody is interested in Chris Sale. Fair enough. I'll get him for $5 at auction and get 15 or so solid starts before his innings limit kicks in.
Meanwhile, if any of you who have not already made your final cuts is interested in a deal ... it really helps to post on the trades page they positions you would like to add. Otherwise no one with quality guys we can't pay knows not of your interest.

Mad Max, I thought about this for weeks. I never pay to get rid of a guy I can cut, especially now when it costs nothing. I'll trade a costly star for a lower priced but talented player. And most of us have this mindset. We also have many teams with overpriced players. In seismology our situation says a major earthquake is due, soon. Both cases involve conflicting pressures that must be resolved. Our teams can trade for need or gather $ to spend on Draft Day, our Big Bang, sans Penny.

What’s with teams dropping players two months from cut down day?
-
Looks like this will be a No Trade off season. But if you feel like doing a deal, message me, or Freeman. We have done a deal this year. That's a good place to start. Inflation is going to be a bitch ... deals are there for those who work on them, and at decent prices.

S0, that now obsolete team name, Good Hitting Pitchers, sparks a question. How many non-Ohtani pitcher ABs will MLB record in the 2023 regular season? Let's start with an Over/Under of 80. Which side do you like?

"Hello, I will not be able to renew next season. Tried to stick through Arbitration to ensure that the dollars were allocated. Thanks for a great season!"
From Good Hitting Pitchers on November 20, 2022 3:08 PM
I asked him to reconsider:
"If you are completely, truly, certain you're not returning ... I will abandon your team, but first please post an adios to the league on the message board."

Welcome Mr Freeman, good luck in the league
Dodgers you say 🤔
-
Greetings all. Multi year ottoneu player looking for a new league format to test my skills. Looking forward to a new season and as a rabid Dodgers fan (sorry lol) I couldn't pass up a team with our lord and savior Freddie Freeman on it. and my last name is pronounced "paycheck" funnily enough.
-
Mr. Freeman: Welcome to W&W. Say hello to the league, if you will. And tell us how to pronounce your surname.

Coastal Empire once again belongs to ehaas. Niv credited the new guy and showed me how to reinstate ehaas. That's been done. Niv was very helpful, and more than patient. I have nothing to do with anyone else's team in Allocations, so that will not get screwed up. Then perhaps we can do some off season trading ... again, no involvement on my end, plenty on yours.

Looks like I abandoned Coastal instead of Zelinski? Niv will e. xpel me from Otto. Before that happens I have asked the new Coastal to pick up Z's team so I can release Z. Bad eyes? Just on old guy? Whatever he wants to do is deserved. I will try to clean this up. Sorry, Coastal. I will get your team back, even if you can't read this message. And perhaps I should leave this Otto league. Let me try to get it fixed.

Zelensky told me he's getting married and taking a new job. Says he won't have time to play a competitive season and wants me to Abandon his team. We had several good conversations, but I could not persuade him to hang in there. So in accordance with his wishes, I have marked his team as Abandoned.

This is too easy for you, Sarge. Two in a row, not even close? We all gotta do better and more thorough homework to take you down in 2023. But, like Nick Saban, you don't owe any apologies. Good job.
