Hi all! Arbitration is complete. Everyone now has until January 31, 2025 to make cuts to their team (ie. select their keepers).
-
Get your arbitration in, only a couple days left!
-
Arbitration starts now! Everyone has a month to complete it
-
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.
-
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
-
Congrats CKD and the rest of the winners! Looking forward to a great offseason and having a more balanced season in 2025…
-
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!
-
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).
-
Congratulations to CKD on another championship!! Well deserved!! And to Mike, Kyle and Andy for having great years! Get ready for arbitration.

Last week before the playoffs and trade deadline! Got some close races for the last spots!
-
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.
-
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)
-
Here we go! Set your lineups! Remember - you get a max of 10 starts from your starting pitchers. Choose wisely.
-
The schedule has week one from March 20 - April 7

That was quick for the first cut after the draft…
-
Hey everyone! Reminder - the draft is next Saturday at 1200pm eastern!
-
Last chance - making the cuts shortly, send any final ones in now
-
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.
-
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.
-
Last chance for cuts! Deadline is 11:59pm. Same for league dues 🤑
-
Moved to March 2nd
-
March 3rd doesn’t work for me
-
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!
-
Thanks, you the man!

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... "
-
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.

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

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
-
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?
-
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
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
THREE DAYS LEFT FOR ARBITRATION! STILL HAVE FOUR TEAMS LEFT!

Get your arbitration dollars in!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
-
I think I’m one player over the limit, but it won’t let me drop a player. Do I just wait?
-
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.
