Catcher is a platooning position - see https://community.ottoneu.com/t/two-c-slots/1473 per NivShah
-
Why do we only get 162 catcher starts if we have 2 catcher slots?

Looking at creating cap space by trading Yelich/Bichette/Miller this morning/today with no loans attached. So I can be more active. Thank you

Apparently today is auction day

Very lame that the minor league 60 day IL doesn't count

Thank you everyone for the smooth and fun draft. Auctions can be started now and trades can be executed. Good luck this season!

Reminder: the draft is in 22 hours. If something has come up, please notify so we can try to find a proxy as opposed to your team having to go through auctions post draft

Update: We don't have any "No" for the draft now. Two maybes but I think we're in a good enough spot that we can confirm this date. Plan to see you all in 9 days for the draft.
Reminder to have your queue set up in the draft to allow for a smooth and efficient auction draft (you can access the auction draft room and nomination list now)

I have tentatively set the draft for February 23. I will be reaching out to the 2 managers who haven't responded to the poll and the 1 maybe to confirm

Friday February 23rd is looking good on the poll! 10 responses in, zero No's.
-
I've heard from 5 of the other 10 managers and it seems the league is in agreement that we'll follow the written rules and not process any trades at this time. I'll coordinate with Horace to get that round of penalty free cuts in.
In the meantime, please complete the auction draft date survey if you haven't. If you believe additional slots or times need to be added, please let me know and I'll add.

Agreed. Get the team legit, and we can schedule the draft.
-
I say get it legit and then just leave it. The auction will take care of the rest. Would be hard to ensure good trades. Hopefully someone claims that team.

My preference is always just to follow the written rules as closely as possible - so cuts to get the roster legal as soon as possible then no transactions until the draft. I think *discussing* trades is obviously fine at any time, but the assymetric negotiating an illegal roster enables is a weird situation to me, so I'd just prefer for all teams to be legal asap.
-
I will ask for the league to chime in but my lean would be that you get the roster compliant and then can discuss straight trades with no loans for a small window (to offset claiming the team after the deadline - previous owner fault)?
If the league thinks the roster should be fully locked out beyond cuts - that can be the path.
Looking for a number of managers to chime in here

This would be purely for knowing who to allocate to each team after the draft. If someone wanted Burnes for a $20 player (for example) and have the rest covered by a loan from me, that’s kind of the structure of deal I’m looking at right now. So they get Burnes at the cost of the player they are trading, and don’t have to bid for him in auction
-
There are no trades until after the auction
-
Corbin Burnes, Mason Miller, and Christian Yelich are on the block. I’d be willing to cover cost difference in a potential deal for anyone interested
-
Please find and complete the poll at your earliest convenience. I have the earliest auction date set for 2 weeks from now ranging to the week before opening day.

Hi all. Taking over Got Matsui and curious of any interest in players currently on the team before making cuts. I'll be looking to make the cuts pronto. Thank you
-
Later this week I'll be sending out a poll for dates and times for the auction this year. Based on the player count we are likely looking at a 2.5 hour draft. I'll "book" for a 3 hour window to be safe but as we are all experienced, it should be a quicker draft.
-
Hi everyone, I apologize for the lack of updates and reminders the last 2 months. Very busy time but I should be more active now.
As for where the league stands, we had 2 teams not renew this offseason.
Unfortunately Got Matsui did not make their team cap compliant before cut down day. Unless there are any creative solutions, I think that the new manager will have the slight advantage of knowing the player pool while making their cuts upon claiming the team.
-
Any plan for getting Got Matsui's roster legal?
-
Welcome to the league guys!

Same here, just joined a few weeks ago! My arb was done before I joined - I know it’s last minute but is there any way I can edit the allocations that were in place? Thanks!
-
Best of luck MM - i just joined too!
-
Hello! Just claimed Kibbles n Mitts (now Midnight Marauders). Completed arb and looking forward to making some trades this off-season.
-
Going to need to abandon, sorry all. I wasn't able to participate actively at all and let you all down this year
-
Hey y’all I’m going to cut back leagues so you can abandon my team thanks
-
Big congratulation to Bloominati! Great season all around. Looking forward to the offseason
-
Nice job Bloom. Looking forward to the off season.

Yeah, congrats Bloominnati (and Bryce Krispies for 2nd)! Definitely a fun season!

Thank you! Was a fun league to be a part of, competitive from start to finish, Looking forward to next year as well!

Congrats Bloominati! Looking forward to next year.

unfortunately it's probably time for me to throw in the towel this season - I'll take offers for just about anyone on my roster if I can some decent future pieces out of the deal
-
I stand with Birdpeople here. Let’s have valid trade offers or no trade offers at all.

Deleting 38 garbage players for Judge offer.
-
Sorry that does not mean I want to trade judge for players you don’t want . If you feel like that comment is towards you in particular don’t because you were not alone offering trash heaps for maybe the best hitter in baseball.
-
Time to pack it in for the year pretty much whole team on block for keeper pieces. Prefer quality over quantity and will lose a deal in a vacuum for elite keeper pieces
-
JD Martinez available for cap space essentially if anybody is interested.
-
Fielding offers for Acuna. Hit me up.

Looking to swap an OF for a 3B ideally with positional versatility

Looks like the draft is still set to "in progress", which is preventing us from starting FA auctions

Didn,t know the daft was tonight, mixed it up with other drafts

I think the auction has to be unpaused or ended so we can make roster moves.
Side note- Díaz is available too

Elite baseball prospect Gavin Lux on the block. ACL is an overrated body part anyway.
