...and I think it will be a while longer until they win the next.

Just for curiosity I looked up the most popular TV show in 1948, the last time the Cleveland Indians won the World Series. Texaco Star Theater, starring Milton “Mr. Television” Berle. Best selling car: Chevy Fleetmaster. Most popular song: “12th Street Rag” by Pee Wee Hunt. It has been a little while since the Tribe has won it all.

I’ll announce up front - every player on my roster is always available. If you have an interest, please ask me and I’ll see if we can work a deal. I don’t care if I “win” every trade, as long as it is a deal that works for me.

True, but don't forget the Alabama Slammer-Alabama Slammer trade. That was pretty high energy.
-
It has been such a low-energy league all year. So few trades, and for the most part people tended to either just “reject” without so much as a comment or counter, or they would leave trade offers hanging for weeks without the courtesy of a reply. Thankfully we have a new, active owner onboard now. It makes these leagues much more fun.

And if this was a redraft league your take would make perfect sense. And this isn’t about who values who and what someone would rather have. A $13 Woodruff has tremendous value all by himself not comparing him to anyone else. It’s the simple financial dynamics of Ottoneu. My “gripe” isn’t about the trade or the return. It’s not letting others know. I feel like a broken record explaining my position to you and Saratoga. It’s a great trade. Just give others a heads up.

I'm surprised that there wasn't more outrage from the last trade I just made with Spa City. Martin, Miranda and Davis for Alonso is a hell of a lot worse than what Pale Hose got.
-
Personally, I wouldn't have come close to offering what Spa City gave up for Woodruff and India. The season is over, I don't know what you are griping about Shotime. While Woodruff is a very good pitcher, he is not that big of a difference maker. In fact, I would rather have Burnes or Peralta than Woodruff. But what do I know?
-
Alright folks, now seems like as good a time as any to let you all know that this is going to be my final season. In the real world my business has been growing and hasn't left much time for baseball. It's been a fun 10 seasons, and I will treasure my single virtual trophy always :)
-
Ok Showtime. Sounds good.

Saratoga you are missing the point…whether on purpose or bc you lack the intelligence to see it. This isn’t about me. There is zero drama…it’s about an equal playing field…Woodruff should have been on the block even if it’s a forgone conclusion he takes your offer. I don’t care what you gave up or the perceived value.

I think Pale Hose is right. No drama. This should be fun.

Easy solution that should make everybody happy…. Showtime can tell Pale Hose what his best offer would have been for Woodruff and India. If Pale Hose prefers it, I’ll agree to the trade being reversed and the Pale Hose-Showtime trade taking its place. I can’t imagine Showtime could make a better offer, but if he does I can live with it. Is there any reason that would somehow be unacceptable to anyone? Seems like that would be win-win.

I’ll respectfully disagree with your “wheels” theory in trading and this really doesn’t have anything to do with a cheating team. If you would have ended up taking Saratoga’s offer for Woodruff then so be it but give everyone an equal opportunity.

This isn’t a granular thing…I don’t know who Pale Hose reached out to or who he didn’t. I’m not trying to speak for other teams…I’m just saying on a big picture level if a player as affordable and as talented as Woodruff is available I think it’s not too much to ask that everyone knows. Pale Hose can accept whatever return he feels is best. It’s the not being told he was available part that I have a problem with.

Did not realize all of the drama from the past in this league until i dug back on the message board. Frankly, Saratoga has the prospects and he asked about a trade. Once the wheels are moving it is easier to continue to make trades. I like the return i got AND also fully realize that a $13 Woodruff has alot of value. If any one is interested I also have a $1 Waino who is roughly top 10 this season.

For the record, I had talked with Pale Hose and he asked if I had a better offer for Woodruff/India. I didn't. I think you are undervaluing Torkelson and J. Rod. But that is my opinion, as you have yours.
-
…and a new team coming in to the league and making three consecutive trades with you Saratoga is a bit odd imo.

I would like the opportunity to make a better offer and most likely the rest of the league would too. If a guy like Woodruff is available it makes sense to put him on the block. Who knows what return he could get. Maybe more than three prospects who may or may not be up next year and who may or may not be successful. Gregory Polanco was a “ can’t miss prospect” and he just got DFA’d. Kelenic is a “future superstar” and he has looked terrible. A top 5 SP at $13 should be made available to all.

Maximizing the return? We’re you planning to offer more than I gave up? JRod, Torkelson and Lowe are 3 of the best prospects in the game. I can’t imagine anybody else would have made a better offer than that. Very few teams in this league are active in trades at all. Would you honestly have made a better offer?

This is getting a little ridiculous and a bit suspicious. If a $13 Woodruff is available I think it makes sense for the league to be made aware to maximize the return.

It seems like this has been Winnetka Cubbies’ league the past couple years. I’d offer long term value in exchange for 2022 value in an effort to give Winnetka a run for his $ next year.

If anybody is in a rebuilding mode, I have prospects to trade. I’ll need to free up roster spots at some point before next year’s draft.

Hello all. I am a first year Ottoneu player, but experienced fantasy player of all varieties. This is my 4th team. I am excited to join in the fun. I am and intend to be an active owner.

Just got back from vacation. I had emailed Vernicious last month and he never replied. At this point, I think we probably need to mark the team as abandoned. Anyone disagree?
-
Vermicious still hasn’t logged in since May 7.

I’m heading on a month long trip with my family. Bear with me if I am slow. I’ll try to check in when I can. Busy summer.

Just an FYI I am going to be hiking and have no internet connection until Friday....if you send me a message or a trade causes my roster to become illegal I'll take care of it before games resume next weekend, Cheers!

I've emailed them both directly.

I sent messages to both, but unless their notifications are set up to email them when they have messages, they won’t see them.

Yes. I agree. We should at least attempt to contact them to make sure everything is ok. If they have abandoned their teams then we should get some active owners.
-
It seems both Horrorshow and Vermicious Knids have not logged in since May 7th. In most leagues if you go 2 months without at least checking in, we would start trying to either get them involved or find new owners. Does anybody else think it is worth doing something to find out if they have abandoned their teams?

Looking to move Arenado. Let me know if interested.

Looks like I have to change my name. Bye Mookie 😔

I am pulling the plug and looking to retool. Betts, Harper, and Bieber are available.

Looking to move my injured $8 Buxton for immediate help if anyone’s interested.

I have an offer that includes my ($3) Ke’Bryan Hayes that I am strongly considering. If anyone really wants him now is the time to step up.
