• I will be open to offers as I don’t think I can afford to wait for him.

  LIMA.SANDLOT on April 22, 2021 5:33 PM

• So it looks like my
  $3 Hayes had a setback with his wrist injury

  LIMA.SANDLOT on April 22, 2021 5:32 PM

• Welcome to both of the new owners! It’s great that both teams were picked up quickly, and the league can get back to baseball. ⚾️

  PTBNL on April 22, 2021 3:25 PM

• Welcome Matt! Glad you got the team!!

  LIMA.SANDLOT on April 22, 2021 3:21 PM

• Hey, I’m Matt. Just took over this team (asked about the opening on Slack). Will be updating the trade block in the next day or so

  Schrödinger's Bats on April 22, 2021 3:20 PM

• Sweet. Well welcome to the fun!

  LIMA.SANDLOT on April 22, 2021 2:54 PM

• Great! Yeah, I gathered from the thread here that there had been a bit of a scandal. I am new to Ottoneu and thrilled for the chance to pick it up. And yep, I like trades. I'm tired of being the only one who proposes them in my Yahoo league.

  Pale Hose on April 22, 2021 2:51 PM

• Welcome. I’m not sure if they were meant for anyone in particular. There has been a lot of discussion about it on Slack. Are you new to Ottoneu? And do you like to trade? 😀

  LIMA.SANDLOT on April 22, 2021 2:47 PM

• Welcome onboard to the new team! The prior owner was running 2 teams so we had to vacate his teams. Thanks for taking over. Good to have you.

  PTBNL on April 22, 2021 2:47 PM

• Hi! I think I just claimed the Alabama Slammers. Is it ok that I did that? I figured better to ask forgiveness, etc. If this roster is intended for someone else, of course I'll oblige.

  Pale Hose on April 22, 2021 2:29 PM

• It looks like the trade had already been cancelled. I've just abandoned both teams, so please let anyone on Slack who is interested know they can now be claimed.

  Maine Monarchs on April 22, 2021 2:00 PM

• I agree. No trading on Slammers part that I can see. He would most certainly have had to drafted separately (with another person) unless he is a genius which we can see by the choice of usernames he was not. I get the concern about the draft but once this trade is rescinded it should be back to business.

  LIMA.SANDLOT on April 22, 2021 11:15 AM

• If this was a money league, it would definitely be viewed as the entire season being tainted, and bets would be called off. As a non-$ league it doesn’t bother me enough to debate it. We don’t all need to agree. But I think that kind of thing hurts the league quite a lot.

  PTBNL on April 22, 2021 11:12 AM

• Can anyone tell me how the actions of these two teams, prior to this trade, harmed the league in general or their team in particular? I don't see any signs of collusion or improper activity before this trade. Shoot, both of these teams were beating me in the standings before cheating. Sure it stinks to high heaven but it was caught and appears it will be dealt with.

  Long Gone on April 22, 2021 11:08 AM

• Well that sucks.

  LIMA.SANDLOT on April 22, 2021 11:05 AM

• Niv got back to me quickly. He verified it is the same person controlling both teams, and banned him.

  PTBNL on April 22, 2021 11:01 AM

• Alabama Scammers/Indy Sox the same dude. Should be banned. This league needs as asterisk or something this year.

  Hype Springs Eternal on April 22, 2021 10:53 AM

• Yeah I think the trade should be rescinded and two new/honest owners should be brought aboard ASAP. Both teams are competitive and should be immediately scooped up.

  LIMA.SANDLOT on April 22, 2021 10:51 AM

• Now that it appears that those teams have been abandoned, I would also ask the commissioner consider voiding that trade if the league doesn't get enough people to veto it.

  Long Gone on April 22, 2021 10:45 AM

• Commish: Matt P (mprice) on Slack has expressed interest in one of the abandoned teams. They just don't show as abandoned yet on the Ottoneu dashboard.

  Long Gone on April 22, 2021 10:43 AM

• I already asked Niv to consider a refund. I don’t need the $20 so badly that I’ll lose sleep over it. But if I were Niv I would take that step to ensure everybody is happy with the Ottoneu platform. It’s not a make or break issue for me. But I think it would be nice customer service. It’s definitely not something we need to agree on - just my POV.

  PTBNL on April 22, 2021 10:33 AM

• Both are showing no manager

  LIMA.SANDLOT on April 22, 2021 10:32 AM

• So it looks like both teams have been abandoned. I think the Commissioners should rescind the trade and hope we get two new good/honest owners.

  LIMA.SANDLOT on April 22, 2021 10:31 AM

• I agree with Markus. I don't think Niv needs to refund me anything. There's been nothing done wrong that I can see up to this point that has harmed my team and we can veto this trade is we wish. I plan to veto the trade but would like to hear from the teams. This trade is being discussed in Slack and has been described as one of the worst trades they've ever seen. It was also mentioned that both teams have been abandoned but I don't see that.

  Long Gone on April 22, 2021 10:25 AM

• While I agree that the trade is the worst I have seen and I plan on vetoing it, I don’t agree with asking Niv for a refund. We all have a voice. If you feel strongly against it then veto the trade. Also if Slammers or Indy want to join the discussion I’d love to hear their thought process. It would be helpful.

  LIMA.SANDLOT on April 22, 2021 10:20 AM

• I sent a message to Niv. This is the kind of thing that can drive people away. What’s the point in staying active if the season is tainted? The draft was handled unfairly. I asked Niv to consider refunding all our dues to encourage the rest of the league to stay. Losing 2 teams is bad enough.

  PTBNL on April 22, 2021 10:00 AM

• I agree, not only does the trade need to be vetoed, the teams need to be abandoned and reported to Niv. These types of transactions destroy leagues.

  Winnetka Cubby Bears on April 22, 2021 9:03 AM

• I was already planning to veto that trade, but that seals it for me. We need both teams abandoned. That crap ruins the entire season for everybody. We all paid the fee and put time into the game. And 1 guy owns 2 teams. That’s messed up.

  PTBNL on April 22, 2021 8:51 AM

• Indy Sox owner's name = BAMA2032
  Alabama Slammers owner's name: BECK2032

  Winnetka Cubby Bears on April 22, 2021 8:47 AM

• Open to moving Bellinger $32 to a team that wants to build for the future. I am in win now mode and can't afford to wait with him on the IL. Let me know if there is any interest. Will pair him with a $3 Varsho for greater return.

  LIMA.SANDLOT on April 17, 2021 8:23 PM

• Cubby Bears - continuing to dominate without a shortstop! Impressive!

  PTBNL on April 15, 2021 8:14 AM

• I cut Melancon assuming he was middle innings only. As soon as I did that, he becomes the closer and looked fantastic.

  PTBNL on April 2, 2021 9:49 AM

• It is very hard to see the Cubby Bears not repeating. I don’t have the pitching to keep up with him. I would gladly sell higher-priced veterans for 2022 value if anybody is planning to make a real run at the title.

  PTBNL on March 26, 2021 8:53 PM

• Super disappointed I didn’t get that $8 Framber...looks like he will be back a lot sooner than expected.

  LIMA.SANDLOT on March 18, 2021 3:57 PM

• Open for business!

  PTBNL on March 9, 2021 10:39 PM

• I'm fine with that idea, but I don't plan on policing it. We're going to be on the honor system.

  Maine Monarchs on March 9, 2021 7:41 PM

• I think we should have a rule of one mulligan as far as nominating players. Second miss, your out.

  Winnetka Cubby Bears on March 9, 2021 5:44 PM

• I'm good for tonight also

  Winthrop Ramblers 🚌 on March 9, 2021 12:31 PM

• sorry. in my head I had already replied. I'm good to draft tonight!

  Alternative Losers on March 9, 2021 9:33 AM

• Still no word from alternative losers or madmen. Can you guys please confirm that you are good to draft today?

  Maine Monarchs on March 9, 2021 8:17 AM

• Sorry, about that. I'm good to go.

  Winnetka Cubby Bears on March 9, 2021 8:11 AM

• Provided Cubby is good, I think we're still waiting on confirmation from Alternative Losers and Madmen.

  Maine Monarchs on March 2, 2021 9:24 PM

• 3/9 will work for me too

  Pale Hose on March 1, 2021 3:27 PM

• That time works for me, see you all then

  Ding Dongs on March 1, 2021 11:12 AM

• 3/9 will work. Since we are starting at 8pm on a weeknight, my recommendation is that everybody agrees not to skip their nominations, and to be ready to go on time. It goes so much faster and is more enjoyable when things move quickly. Just my $.02.

  PTBNL on February 28, 2021 3:11 PM

• Alright, I've set it. I'd appreciate it if anyone who hasn't can confirm that 3/9 @ 8pm works though.

  Maine Monarchs on February 28, 2021 12:30 AM

• Works for me too.

  Long Gone on February 25, 2021 9:54 AM

• Sounds good to me

  PTBNL on February 25, 2021 7:24 AM

• 3/9 works for me

  Big Papi memories on February 25, 2021 7:07 AM

• 3/9 is good
