• Arbitration starts now! Everyone has a month to complete it

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on October 15, 2024 9:23 PM

• I think with the 2 games today, waivers claims may still be able to be done if the waiver is completed before the end of the day. So feel free to try it out if there's someone you want.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on September 30, 2024 6:58 AM

• Reminder - everyone has to get within their current salary cap (including current loans and penalties) by midnight, transactions can be reversed if needed to make your team legal

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on September 29, 2024 5:51 PM

• Congrats CKD and the rest of the winners! Looking forward to a great offseason and having a more balanced season in 2025…

  Boondoggle - Hader’s gonna hade on September 23, 2024 10:59 AM

• Doc Madness gets the honorary King of the Mountain title w/ a winning record over the Dojo this season. Congrats to all on another fun season and moving the keeper/salary chess pieces in place for future runs. Mike pointed out that a third of the league this season had a higher season point total than every team in 2023, so we're collectively figuring this Ottoneu thing out!

  Cooper Kai Dojo on September 23, 2024 8:33 AM

• Great season everyone!! We have one more week of free agency so feel free to tinker with your roster within your current cap space and roster size. If you're not planning on sticking around for next season, let me know so we can fill the spot ideally before arbitration starts (Oct. 15th).

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on September 23, 2024 7:30 AM

• Congratulations to CKD on another championship!! Well deserved!! And to Mike, Kyle and Andy for having great years! Get ready for arbitration.

  Doc Madness on September 23, 2024 7:19 AM

• Final round of the playoffs! Congrats to Chris and Mike!

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on September 16, 2024 8:24 AM

• Congratulations to Andyman and Kyle!!! Good luck to all in the next round!!!

  Doc Madness on September 9, 2024 6:48 AM

• Jose Ramirez on the block. Best offer takes him. I need pitching and a 2B to start.

  Mimikos on August 26, 2024 10:58 AM

• Last week before the playoffs and trade deadline! Got some close races for the last spots!

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on August 26, 2024 10:54 AM

• OK, my team is getting better but still way too far out for a playoff spot. Willing to make trades, looking for good keeper candidates.

  Boondoggle - Hader’s gonna hade on August 7, 2024 5:14 PM

• Hey everyone! Dietz brought this to my attention - this week is a long for week to asg, so you have extra time to get your 1o starters (JULY 8 TO JULY 21)

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on July 11, 2024 7:57 AM

• Here we go! Set your lineups! Remember - you get a max of 10 starts from your starting pitchers. Choose wisely.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on March 27, 2024 9:58 PM

• The schedule has week one from March 20 - April 7

  Doc Madness on March 2, 2024 4:15 PM

• That was quick for the first cut after the draft…

  Boondoggle - Hader’s gonna hade on March 2, 2024 2:46 PM

• Hey everyone! Reminder - the draft is next Saturday at 1200pm eastern!

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 24, 2024 12:06 PM

• Last chance - making the cuts shortly, send any final ones in now

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 13, 2024 1:26 PM

• Hi all - there was a little confusion over the cut deadline and rosters locking until the draft. So going to give everyone one last chance since this is our first time going through this. Each team can cut up to 2 additional players - you must message me the players and I'll put the cuts in manually.
  
  Deadline is Tuesday, Feb 13th at noon est.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 10, 2024 11:23 AM

• Also quick reminder (thanks to the other gristle for remembering) - each team needs to have at least $1 available per free roster spot, so even if you don't have the max of 40 players, you need cap space to have them. Example - if you have 39 players, you need $1 of cap space for the 40th player even though you aren't rostering him. Can't have $400 spent on 39 players. Should auto calculate but just a reminder for roster planning purposes.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on January 31, 2024 8:28 AM

• Last chance for cuts! Deadline is 11:59pm. Same for league dues 🤑

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on January 31, 2024 7:45 AM

• Moved to March 2nd

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on January 28, 2024 6:27 PM

• March 3rd doesn’t work for me

  Cooper Kai Dojo on January 28, 2024 6:12 PM

• Hi all - I set the draft to Sunday, March 3rd at 12pm. Let me know ASAP if that doesn't work. The draft should only take an hour or 2 this year due to keepers.
  
  Also another reminder cuts are due the 31st!

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on January 28, 2024 5:40 PM

• Thanks, you the man!

  BlessCo on January 23, 2024 7:24 PM

• Thats only if you hacr a wallet and balance with them, not for just making a payment. Also see the forum response:
  
  https://community.ottoneu.com/t/paydala-sign-up/13448
  
  "This fee is for anyone who has a digital wallet on Paydala with a balance. Because of how we’ve implemented our integration, this is never true for Ottoneu customers. Any deposit is immediately given to Ottoneu to pay for a team... "

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on January 22, 2024 10:40 PM

• So when I go to pay and use a credit card, why do the terms make it sound like I'm opening up whole new bank account in my own name? It's talking about inactivity fee of 2.95 if I don't make any transactions in 6 months. I'm so confused.

  BlessCo on January 22, 2024 9:31 PM

• Hey everyone! Quick update: welcome Peter to the league who will be taking over Baserock's team.
  
  Also looks like dues are due on the 31st (same as the cut/keeper deadline). You can renew at the ottoneu dashboard which is here (https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/userdashboard)

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on January 16, 2024 12:13 PM

• Hi all! Results are in - Middle draft date won (between Feb 22 - March 9). I hoping to get one more person to join shortly to replace Gaussian (unless you appear??). Then we can schedule a day. Will aim for a weekend during the afternoon so it's not too late with the time difference for Mike. The draft will be much shorter than last year, probably a couple hours max. Also - couple more weeks to finalize cuts/trades!

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on January 15, 2024 1:56 PM

• Welcome back Jimmy! Good to have you in the league again.
  
  For the draft, I’ll point out the season starts March 20th with two games in Korea. So maybe early or mid-March is best. Also, since I’m 5 hours ahead, an afternoon time slot would be ideal if possible!

  The Return of the Gristle on December 9, 2023 6:59 PM

• With complete candor, I don’t have the cap space for Ohtani and will likely cut him. If you’d like to acquire him and not leave it up to auction, I’m entertaining trade offers. $65 seems like a lot for a guy who’s only going to hit Util this coming year, but for the keeper perspective, he scored me 1856 points this past season despite missing our playoff weeks. $65 is a steal for that kind of production when he’s fully healthy next year.

  Cooper Kai Dojo on December 9, 2023 10:42 AM

• We always used to have last year’s winner throw out the first player before Ottoneu…would be nice to keep the tradition…

  Boondoggle - Hader’s gonna hade on December 7, 2023 7:43 AM

• But yea the draft will probably be an hour or two, no where near as long as last year since a lot of players will be kept

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on December 6, 2023 10:47 PM

• Rounds depends on how many players are kept. Each team can keep up to 40 players and must be at $400 or below by Jan 31.
  
  Draft order doesn't matter because it's auction, but probably the winner from last year throws out the first guy. Or maybe last place. Something like that.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on December 6, 2023 10:47 PM

• For the draft how many rounds is it? And assume by by Jan we need to be under 400 dollars and doesn’t matter how many players are kept? How did we do draft order etc.

  Mimikos on December 6, 2023 8:18 PM

• Salaries are already updated on your roster!
  
  That would be fine with me, maybe I'll maybe a Google form so we can take a poll

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on December 5, 2023 12:38 PM

• So, how does the arbitration player salaries work? Do we keep them and the salaries get automatically updated, and cut them if we don’t want to keep them at the new salary?
  
  As for draft date, how does late March work for everyone?

  Boondoggle - Hader’s gonna hade on December 5, 2023 12:30 PM

• Ps- trades are allowed. So no need to make a bunch of cuts now, can wait till January or whenever as long as the deadline hasn't passed

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on December 5, 2023 10:14 AM

• Finally - what are your thoughts on a draft day? We can do it anytime after Jan 31. Feeling an early draft, middle, or close to the start of the season?

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on December 5, 2023 10:07 AM

• Hi everyone, welcome to our new owner of Springfield, Jimmy! Some of you know him already from the old CBS league - happy to have him back.
  
  A note on Keepers - I just confirmed it is more of a cut deadline. So between now and January 31, 2024, you can cut players. Anyone you do not cut by then, will be kept.
  
  Still have not heard back from Baserock, so if anyone knows another person who is interested in joining, let me know.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on December 5, 2023 10:06 AM

• Hi all! It's been fun checking out the arbitration results.
  
  We may need 1 - 2 new people to take over teams next year, so if you know anyone who may be interested, please reach out! Would love to fill the spots ASAP. Let me know.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on November 22, 2023 9:48 AM

• THREE DAYS LEFT FOR ARBITRATION! STILL HAVE FOUR TEAMS LEFT!

  BlessCo on November 11, 2023 5:00 PM

• Get your arbitration dollars in!

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on November 3, 2023 11:18 PM

• Yup that's correct, thanks for reminding everyone! Get your allocations in, there's a new button next to the lineup page for you to explore.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on October 18, 2023 6:46 AM

• Arbitration period is open, ends 14 November I think. If you don't allocate $25, at least $1 per team, you won't get credit for any arbitration allocations.

  Boondoggle - Hader’s gonna hade on October 17, 2023 8:03 PM

• Your roster will likely become "illegal" during our off-season due to players coming off the 60 il or other real life team moves. Just as long as you were legal on the last day of our regular season then it's all good!

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on October 5, 2023 6:42 PM

• I think I’m one player over the limit, but it won’t let me drop a player. Do I just wait?

  Boondoggle - Hader’s gonna hade on October 5, 2023 6:35 PM

• Thanks for putting this league together Andy! I had a great time and am looking forward to an active offseason! I agree that rosters should be legal heading into the offseason.

  Boondoggle - Hader’s gonna hade on September 29, 2023 8:59 AM

• Congrats to everyone! This is def different than cbs, but I think I kinda like it better overall. Some things I like less, but that's gonna happen anywhere. I look forward to seeing how the arbitration plays out, since that sounds super fun.

  BlessCo on September 27, 2023 7:24 PM

• Happy end of season everyone! Big congrats to Cooper Kai Dojo on winning the first championship! 2nd place is Return of the Gristle and 3rd place goes to Doc Madness. I'll send out another message about arbitration which starts 10/15, but for now, you have till Oct. 1 to make any final roster moves.
  
  Also I had a lot of fun this year, and hope to see everyone back! But if you know you don't want to join up again for next season, please let me know ASAP if you can so we can fill your
