• Happy Draft Day! Please note the draft is at 8 pm ET. Between changing the time from 7 to 8 and daylight savings, I imagine there could be some confusion. Hope to see everybody in the auction room for the start.

• Welcome to the league, Ja Ha. Cool name

  Albuquerque Jackalopes on February 7, 2025 10:10 PM

• A grace period sounds completely reasonable to me. Welcome aboard!

  Uncle Buck on February 7, 2025 9:30 PM

• Thank you! Manley pulled me out of a long fantasy baseball retirement. Feeling rejuvenated, though that may just be the excitement of having put the kids to bed early tonight. Appreciate the grace period - still getting my bearings, though should be done with moves soon. I'm the new guy so I guess I can roll with whatever the league decides, but I do have my son's baseball clinic that I volunteer at from 6-7:30 that evening. I guess I'll talk to Matt and figure something out.

  John Ja-ha, Charade You Are on February 7, 2025 9:20 PM

• Welcome!!

  Token Canadian on February 7, 2025 7:02 PM

• An official "Welcome" to our new league member, who is one of my recruits. For purposes of transparency, he and I agreed on a cut deadline of Feb. 16 for him. He is an Otto-newby, so I figured a 2-week grace period is about right.

  Obviously Dewon Brazelton on February 7, 2025 6:58 PM

• All good. Leave it there

  The Pest on February 2, 2025 9:14 PM

• I probably wouldn't be able to do earlier than 7

  Albuquerque Jackalopes on February 2, 2025 9:08 PM

• That works

  Slippin Jimmy on February 2, 2025 8:01 PM

• Works!

  Muk on February 2, 2025 7:43 PM

• Could we make it an hour earlier?

  The Pest on February 2, 2025 7:18 PM

• I have it scheduled for 7 ET. If anyone needs it earlier or later in the day, let me know.

  Obviously Dewon Brazelton on February 2, 2025 6:54 PM

• 9-Mar works. Early evening perhaps?

  I Must Have Missed 60 Minutes on February 2, 2025 5:29 PM

• That day works for me too.

  Urshela is No Longer Here on February 2, 2025 5:14 PM

• Works for me

  Token Canadian on February 2, 2025 5:05 PM

• Works for me too

  Albuquerque Jackalopes on February 2, 2025 4:07 PM

• Works for me as well

  Uncle Buck on February 2, 2025 4:04 PM

• Works for me

  The Pest on February 2, 2025 3:35 PM

• How does a March 9 auction work for everyone?

  Obviously Dewon Brazelton on February 2, 2025 3:30 PM

• We need one new owner. Then can we schedule the auction?

  The Pest on February 2, 2025 12:10 PM

• Happy Cut Day. Looks like everyone is on top of it but just to clarify, there are no penalty-free cuts after 11:59 p.m. tonight, Jan. 31 (a new owner for Yeli-Icher would be given an exception). Also, please renew your teams if you haven't yet.

  Obviously Dewon Brazelton on January 31, 2025 8:50 AM

• Good job with arbitration everyone. Getting 11 teams to participate in a league currently with 10 owners: not bad. With that said, we will try to get those two spots filled ASAP and have a fun offseason. If you know anyone who might like to join, sign them up. It will be first come, first served as far as I'm concerned. In the meantime, let the trades begin.

  Obviously Dewon Brazelton on November 15, 2024 8:49 AM

• Looks like I’m still here. I tried to figure out how to abandon it but I don’t see a way. Is it up to the commissioner?

  John Ja-ha, Charade You Are on October 16, 2024 5:19 PM

• So Arbitration is open and it sounded like Not a Yeli-itcher is not going to be back. Is that team abandoned yet so its open for a new person to take over?

  Token Canadian on October 16, 2024 2:27 PM

• Buck-to-Buck! Congrats Buck.

  Obviously Dewon Brazelton on October 1, 2024 11:04 AM

• Thanks! Sad to see you go. Maybe we’ll see you down the road sometime

  Uncle Buck on September 30, 2024 9:28 PM

• Barring a 301 point day by the few players Pest can play today, congrats to Buck on the title. Thanks for the entertainment the last two years, but I have to leave the league. I'm obviously not spending enough time on it to be competitive.

  John Ja-ha, Charade You Are on September 30, 2024 11:07 AM

• Congrats to Pest and Buck - may the best team win! It's been fund watching the race all year (though I think it would have been more fun to be participating)

  Albuquerque Jackalopes on September 24, 2024 10:27 AM

• Congrats you two at the top....great race coming down to the wire!!

  Token Canadian on September 24, 2024 9:56 AM

• You’ve truly lived up to your name, Pest (complimentary) — it has been a fun race this year

  Uncle Buck on September 23, 2024 9:12 PM

• Congrats Buck

  The Pest on September 23, 2024 12:44 PM

• Seems like that league wasn't started for straight-up competition; everyone's a "Commissioner", the trade linked is clearly two teams owned by the same person, & the chat mentions winning the "minor league crown", so it's prob attached to another league that everyone's also in but dont know how/why/what-for... I play in a couple reward leagues but I've always been skeptical of collusion-- buy two/three clubs in same league w/ different ID's, control the market, double

• https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1403/viewtrade?id=101496&pending=1 Not sure if this link will work, but I was searching some trade history in other leagues and came across this gem. I know our league isn't super active all the time, but at least we don't have guys trading out their whole rosters!!

  Token Canadian on May 29, 2024 10:19 AM

• Mountcastle been killing it. Looking to flip him for OF help

  The Pest on April 20, 2024 7:19 AM

• Haha :). I’m watching this Braves telecast too!

  I Must Have Missed 60 Minutes on April 2, 2024 9:40 PM

• Looking for a 1B, have pitching to spare

  Albuquerque Jackalopes on March 11, 2024 10:45 AM

• Looking to add SP upgrade and an OF upgrade. Nobody off limits

  The Pest on March 11, 2024 6:24 AM

• 2hr warning. See you guys soon.

  Token Canadian on March 10, 2024 6:59 PM

• Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I went ahead and moved the auction to 9 ET.

  Obviously Dewon Brazelton on March 10, 2024 12:27 AM

• I prefer 830, but I can live with 9.

  Light Tower Power 💥 on March 9, 2024 8:44 PM

• Good with 9pm

  I Must Have Missed 60 Minutes on March 8, 2024 10:59 PM

• Later the better for me so 9 would be awesome

  Slippin Jimmy on March 8, 2024 8:42 PM

• this week and let him know that I likely wont be at the draft, what with my whopping $12 to spare(!) and my having another draft on the same night. Have fun, good luck, and don't be shy about leaving me some dollar deals lol

  Uncle Buck on March 8, 2024 8:01 PM

• Later is fine by me, but just so everyone is on the same page, I talked with commish earlier

  Uncle Buck on March 8, 2024 7:59 PM

• Later is good for me. I’m central time zone

  John Ja-ha, Charade You Are on March 8, 2024 4:48 PM

• later start is good by me

  The Pest on March 8, 2024 4:48 PM

• I'm okay with a later start...I'm further west so isn't as big of a deal.
  Also, for anyone not in EST, remember that its time change Sunday morning

  Token Canadian on March 8, 2024 3:57 PM

• DRAFT UPDATE: Unfortunately, I had something unavoidable come up and I won't be able to start Sunday's auction until 8:30 ET at the earliest, more likely 9 ET. If this is a significant problem for anyone, please let me know ASAP. Auctions have typically lasted about 2 hours give or take, so we're looking at about an 11 p.m. finish. We still have a week to play with if we need to move it, but if everyone is ok with 8:30/9, I'd like to get it done Sunday.

  Obviously Dewon Brazelton on March 8, 2024 3:46 PM

• Yep, we are scheduled for 8. We can always delay the start if there are issues getting there for anybody, but typically the East Coasters want to avoid starting too late so we'll get going as close to 8 as possible.

  Obviously Dewon Brazelton on March 5, 2024 1:55 PM

• "I see!!" said the blind man as he wiped the mud and shit from his eyes. Thanks for pointing that out
