I would agree we tend to undervalue current (next) year production, but this time of year we are trying to build a roster for next year, so don't forget to look at the roster you are trading with. I am already expensive, so i cant take on $$$, even if it makes my team better.
-
From what I've learned, everybody values players differently when playing Ottoneu. Also, when I first started, I had difficulty valuing studs. I'm not saying that's what's happening with you re: Burnes...I'm just sharing my experience. It is a weird combination of dynasty and auction fantasy, which I think makes it more fun than standard ESPN/Yahoo fantasy.
-
In that case, we should throw out all players over like $30 and just compete with the guys with salaries under that..You shouldn’t be fearing a player because of his salary, you should be focusing on his talent and what he can bring to your squad..Trades are something you should be able to make to improve your team and the other team. To run away from let’s say one of the top MLB pitchers in the game, Burnes because he makes $41 is SILLY..He will only make more than that if put back in draft..
-
What I don’t get about Ottoneu F.B. is you try to make a trade of Player A who is obviously higher rated and is worth multiple players in return and the response is: “No, I like the salaries better with Player B and Player C, so I’m gonna pass.” It would be one thing if the guy I was offering had a salary in his 40’s, but this guy is under $20..What use is trying to trade players to make the game more fun, if every other owner is gonna be afraid to deal based on the salary of your given player?

If anyone is interested in Devers, hit me up
-
You can cut now until midnight (ET) on Jan 31. Trades are open as well until then. Click on the wrench icon at the top and it will show all the important dates.
-
When are we allowed to Cut players from our roster where it costs us nothing and they won’t be able to be bid on until Draft Day? SM
-
Willing to trade Corbin or Grayson from my starting staff..Looking for an offensive piece that delivers in just about all categories, a Jarren Duran type…SM
-
Last day for arb is tomorrow! Still need 4 if you to submit yours!
-
You shut your mouth when talking to me!
-
🤣
-
Personally I think the 3 stooges is a more apropos nickname for the commissioner triumvirate
-
Friendly reminder to complete arbitration...just over 2 weeks left!! If you're not planning on keeping this team next year, please let one of the 3 Musketeers/Commissioners know, but also still go through arbitration.
-
Congrats Ilitch -- dominating performance this year.
-
Bad timing by me
-
Garret Crochet, who will definitely be a contending team’s #1 in their rotation in 2025 is available right now in trade..However, I’m not giving him away..Looking for talented active MLB hitters and SP or who are just on the cusp of making an impact in 2025..Crochet is worth $1 now and a bargain to acquire now before arbitration hits.…SM
-
Even though he is currently on the IL, is there any interest in Grayson RodrĂguez in a trade? Let me know..SM
-
I was going to message one of the 3 commissioners but since a couple of you are here discussing this same topic, I’ll just mention it here..The trade I made with Mascot was supposed to be Kwan and Travis for Crochet, but somehow, accidentally, Kwan’s box was not checked even though I swore I checked it..I had the trade request open in 2 different windows, so maybe the first window closed without me completing the deal, therefore activating it..SM
-
That's def worth a veto IMO...and I don't like throwing around a veto very often
-
I don’t want to use the C word but I had to veto that one. Maybe a mistake

That has to be an accident or collusion, there's almost 0 chance Travis is woth $13 let alone for one of the best pitchers in baseball. Especially one that is $1.
-
WTF is that trade
-
As someone who recently did this, yup! Or you can think it about it as -8 change from the original $20
-
Question on cap penalties (I think I have this straight but checking) - If I cut a $20 player, there’s a $10 cap penalty issued. If I wait 30 days and re-auction the same player and win it at say $12, the original $10 penalty disappears, and I sign him for a net overall change of +$2. Accurate?
-
Bo Bichette and Jazz Chisholm currently very available...
-
Ah! Thanks for clarifying.
-
162 total....without 2 spots it would be close to impossible to get to 162
-
So with 2 catcher spots in daily lineups, is the season max 162 games total for the catcher position, or 162 games for each catcher?
-
Buncha Guardians homer trades today
-
Looking to trade for a top productive 1B…Willing to deal from my talented SP rotation, excluding Burnes or Imanaga…Hit me up for competitive trade offers..SM
-
For you teams looking to get younger, I’m willing to package Zack Gelof, Kjerstad and one of my young starters(Stone or Crochet) for a highly productive corner IF or OF…
-
If you put him up for auction, someone else may bid on him and win. If someone else wins him, it frees you of that salary. May be unlikely that someone else bids on a certain player, but no harm in trying
-
Can someone please explain to me how in Ottoneu, signing a free agent at $1 then immediately releasing him at same price helps your roster or budget at all? I see this happen a lot..It’s not like you are adding back to your budget like if he was a $10 player and you cut him..What’s the use of even signing him if you were going to release him the next day at that price?
-
I currently have the top SP in 2024 in regards to P/IP with an 8.76 rating in Shota Imanaga and something tells me he is just going to get better..Am making him available for either an affordable high offensive outfielder type (Ex. Adolis Garcia) or an affordable high offensive 1st Baseman type (Ex. Spencer Steer)
-
(Is my guess as it's happened to me in the past)
-
You didn't hit submit or you had multiple bids and one was on a player you cut so it didn't save.
-
Something's Fishy..I put in an $8 bid on Ronel Blanco which would've won me the election, yet it recorded me down as only making a 1 dollar bid.. How does that happen?
-
I spent all $400 at auction last year and did okay, so it's not the end of the world. But it is nice to have a little bit of money for the waivers. Chances are you will be cutting someone in the next month anyways.
-
Forgot that in this salary cap league, you need to keep some extra money, so need to trade a few players.. So for now, Swanson and Ranger Suarez available.. Still new to Ottoneu so forgive me..
-
League is live, great job tonight.

Sweet, looking forward to it!
-
The draft date is set for Monday, March 4th, at 7:30 pm CT. Let me or Ethan know if you can't make it, and we can work to get a proxy to fill in for you. Otherwise, study up these next 2 weeks!
-
I can make all those days work
-
I would prefer to avoid March 12th if possible, but all of the other dates work for me. Thanks
-
Love the idea of having the draft end of Feb and still have a month to make any developing trades
-
Looks like the most common responses are:
Tuesday, Feb 27
Monday, March 4
Tuesday, March 5
Tuesday, March 12
For those who haven't responded to the Doodle poll or did respond but are unavailable on one of those days, is there any way we can make one of those four dates work? The plan would be to start around 7:30 pm CT.
-
Fill out the doodle here so we can find a date to draft! https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/bk6N42va
-
That's Chris or Ethans responsibility
-
Any update on planning for draft?
