Sounds good! I'll spend some time going through what's left and keep all my cuts to one big move

Glad to see that we are now full. Chourio, welcome and good luck getting up to speed with your new team. Let us know of any questions. Regarding cuts, I'm going to leave your access open for a few days as you assess roster. That said, any time you cut someone I have to manually re-open your ability to cut again which may take a little time depending on my availability. So most efficient way for you is to cut in bulk if you have several you may get rid of.

Hey everyone, happy to be able to join this league.
I have a lot of experience in starting a new team, but never in inheriting one so this should be fun!
-
@lordporkchop thanks. I think with all the new teams and releases, giving everyone another round of cuts helps.

I will be at High School Basketball State Tournament in Lexington March 20 to 23 so the 24th still works good for me as the 4 days prior to that I would not be able to. I could anytime between 3/14 and 3/19 though.
-
@redlegs; cuts for those of us returning had to be completed by end of January. That said, I'm going to open up everyone for one additional round of cuts (since many folks didn't get paid up until just after that deadline). anyone who needs to make one last pass will be able to do so in one bunch. Going to end cuts for everyone (new and returning) by the end of this week. still looking for one more owner. once that's settled, we can talk about potentially moving auction up if everyone is game.

I’d definitely be up for starting sooner, I can’t wait to get going!

Did we still get one round of cuts? I never got to cut anyone since the new season started . Also, is anyone interested in starting the draft sooner, so we can make trades before the season starts.

@Steinbrenner's Ghost. Two years ago, I tried to manage my team like the Red's management and save my money for the trade deadline. I finished in last place and was eliminated from the Playoffs by the end of Spring Training lol

I'm interested in seeing how this year's draft goes. Remember, the player in red on your team can be put into the upcoming auction. Adjust your salary cap accordingly before the draft. Last year, a guy quit the league on draft night because he lost Ohtani. If you want to keep that player, make sure you give yourself plenty of cap space, if not, you're probably going to lose them. Also keep in mind that the active manager gets a $5 discount on that player.

Oh I didn't realize he had to do that! Sorry...well I should be done with the cuts now
-
Lol. Speaking as your competition, I think we'd all be perfectly fine if you decided to run your team like the Pirates. No need to crowd us at the top of the standings.

Haha, I thought I could just run it like the Pirates and get to keep any money I don't spend! Is that not so?

The commish will be able to unlock your roster again when he has a moment! He has to do it after every time you cut someone! Welcome! I am new, too!

Hi, thanks for the welcome. I didn't realize I could only do one round of cuts and then the roster is locked. Sorry to be a newbie, but there were more players I'd like to cut since this a new team for me.

All good - as long as I'm sitting at work in front of the screen, it's not usually a problem. Appreciate patience though when it's not one of those times. Glad to see everyone engaged as we get up and cranking at least.

Thanks, really appreciate you keeping that window open as I get my sea legs! Apologies for blowing up your inboxes with my cuts, ha.
-
to clarify the cuts; all of us returning owners have already been through our cuts period. new owners have the ability to take a round of penalty free cuts as well (I'm keeping the window open for you for a few more days at least), to pare down your roster and unload those salaries you dislike prior to auction. note that cuts post-auction (or post penalty-free period) result in half-salary penalty hit to your salary cap figures. So get rid of the bums now while you can.

Anyone you release can be put up for auction again before the season starts. If you do it during the season, you have to wait 30 days before you can put him back up for auction. Anyone else can put them up as soon as they clear waivers if no one claims them. The only player on your team that someone can nominate for auction is the one in red.

Hmmmmmmm heard heard, ty gamers. So if I make some cuts now they will be able to be auctioned then? Like if I keep them now they won't be auctioned? The only players that are auctioned are the ones that are currently free agents right? (aka I'm not trying to pay 20 for Whit Merrifield)

rules link at top right is helpful resource for how all this stuff works btw. easy enough to search/navigate. looking forward to getting going!

two teams left. working to find folks (found two newest via message boards for instance). Auction draft works just as it sounds; we'll each have turns to nominate folks, but then anyone can bid/win any player. It takes a while, so plan accordingly (2-3 hours min. would be my guess), and take note of cap space remaining as you go. Also worth noting that cuts in season involve half-salary penalty, so don't overbid for sport. Nice to have buffer in season to work with.

So how does this auction/draft work?
-
I believe there are only two teams left to fill. If anybody knows someone who wants a team, have them sign up

The salary you see if what they will cost this year unless they are in red. If they are red, that player can be put up for auction at the upcoming draft. For that particular player, you get a $5 discount on him when he comes up for auction. At the end of the year, the salary increases $2 for major leaguers and $1 for the minor leaguers on your roster.

Hey y'all. I took up one of the old teams (Raging Birds) here and am learning how these keeper leagues work now for the first time. Quick question though, if a player is on my roster right now will I pay that exact salary if I keep them? Can that number go up or down? Thanks for the help as I'm learning all this haha
-
Hi all, happy to be here I'll be changing my name eventually. Wanted to know if anyone find a Discord server useful/wanted? Kinda plan on being here till the league collapses. Up to you all!

New owner for Battling Chucks. Welcome; you can make cuts as needed for now (I may have to reset the window if you cut guys individually; so I'll keep an eye on that). Let us know if you need any clarification on anything. Draft set for the 24th of March. Good luck!

I am good with the 24th! Perfect for me
-
The season technically starts on 3/20, and we'll make sure stats for those games count to totals obviously. For scheduling the auction, unless there's some objection I think we stick with that weekend of the 24th. In the grand scheme, roto based scoring means it won't matter much how those few players perform in those games and I trust the bidding process likely won't overreact too much in either direction to performances in two games. But we can adjust if someone feels strongly about it.

The 24th is perfect for me as my march is crazy busy and have very few open dates. But what about the two mlb games that happen before that with the Dodgers and Padres? Having it the 24th is actually after the official start of the season. Those two games are March 20th and 21st
-
Have set auction date of Sunday, 3/24 at 7:00PM Eastern for now. Obviously willing to update per folks availability, but do keep in mind that auctions tend to take a while (2-3 hours likely minimum, depending on how many roster spots need filling on each team). Also trying to leave some lead time to get more managers in-place for those teams remaining. Let me know of any thoughts/concerns.

When is the draft/auction?
-
sheriff and redlegs -I'm going to retire the penalty free cuts period as of Friday evening. If you could make any cuts you'd like to by then, it would be appreciated. After that point back to half-salary penalties for cuts, as typical for in-season activity (and for the rest of us right now).
