Arbitration ends in 2 weeks, seven teams still need to do it.
-
Hell of a surge in the final week. Congrats!
-
So many little things add up when it's that close. I picked up Lordes Gurriel on 9/13. Started him 3 games and he happened to put up 43 points in those three games.

My co-owner and I learned a lesson earlier this season: friends don't let friends roster Civale and Romero. Sorry to hear that those two killed you on the 21st, LT.
-
And a note on Coastal's well-balanced team: Aside from the MI spot (6th), Coastal's performance (P/G or P/IP) was 4th best or better at every other position.
C - 2nd
1B - 2nd
2B - 3rd
SS - 4th
MI - 6th
3B - 4th
OF - 4th
Util - 2nd
SP - 3rd
RP - 4th

Sept 21st, the Equinox, stands out as a key date for me. 13 innings pitched and my pitchers surrender 8 home runs, for a whopping -38 points. Even a 3 P/IP day from them would have yielded a ~77 point swing and a much closer finish. Oh well.

Congratulations, Coastal! Remarkable comeback!
-
Thanks. 7th place in mid June, lost Acuna for the year, and was ready to rebuild. Decided to take a shot at third. Never thought I could get to first.

Yes, congrats Coastal! An incredible surge in the second half of the season. I appreciate how close our finishes in this league have been recently. Looking forward to next year already!

Congratulations on the victory, Coastal Empire! A pretty epic comeback made possible by your pitching staff. We can't wait for a full offseason with our team. Great season, everyone!
-
Also, a reminder that arbitration will begin a couple weeks after the regular season ends and runs for a couple weeks itself. So don't tune out just because the games end!

There’s a double header on Monday, so technically these auctions will be still done in season. I believe you can’t start any once they would end after the season. Rules still apply though

Hey everyone, seeing a lot of auctions that are set to process after the season is over. Friendly reminder about roster and salary cap limit rules: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/rules#:~:text=At%20no%20time%20shall%20a%20team%20willingly%20go%20over%20roster%20and%20salary%20cap%20limits.%20If%20a%20team%20knowingly%20does%20this%2C%20they%20will%20face%20penalties%20at%20the%20discretion%20of%20their%20league%27s%20commissioner
-
Who would have thought that Michael McGreevey (who we didn't know was a real person until Monday) would be so desired? N. Martinez probably needed some higher bids. 😉
-
We hope it stays that way after how poorly they treated Rich Hill!
-
2nd half swoons are kind of their thing, lately.
-
The way the Red Sox have been playing lately, they probably should designate more people for assignment before Rich Hill!
-
We've been big time Rich Hill believers since the early 2000's. We are super happy that we can get him to boost our RP staff. I mean, he's probably better than Sam Moll.
-
Rich Hill??

Bauer is a complete scumbag and we would never roster him either, but he was never arrested or charged with a crime so he is a bit different than the others. I'm happy that his baseball career looks to be only confined to Mexico and hopefully it never progresses further than that.
-
Surprised Trevor Bauer's name isn't included in these statements.
-
We would personally never want Ozuna or A. Chapman (or others like that) on our Ottoneu teams for their past DV experience. While DV is abhorrent and totally wrong, there could maybe be some ambiguity (even if my co-owner and I are more black and white about it), but that's not the case here with this Wander Franco situation from what has been reported at this point. God willing, he never plays in the majors again and goes the way of Felipe Vazquez.
-
Somebody on here might be more of a casual fan that enjoys playing and is just not looped in. Maybe they auctioned the wrong guy. Weird things happen sometimes.
-
Not sure what the motivations are but the dude is never playing MLB again.
-
Yea, I'm not sure how I feel about situations like this. Ottoneu does give leagues the option to add players to a restricted list if they want certain players to be ineligible for rostering. I tend to default to the systems in place (legal and MLB) but inevitably those systems can be flawed too. DV is obviously different than sexual exploitation of a minor, but I assume his DV stigma is the reason a guy like Marcel Ozuna has an average Ottoneu cost of $5.

Soooo, we're really doing a Wander Franco auction here? Has someone just not paid attention for the past year or just okay with rostering a pedophile with the hope that he gets a slap on the wrist for his despicable acts? Feels like a whole lot of bad karma is coming someone's way.
-
As Big Papi said, you made a good trade for you. You can drop the schtick of trying to defend it as not as good as it is. No one, including yourself, believes you think that. Galapagos might think he got a great deal and I hope it works out for him, but let's not pretend that he took on a bunch of risk that it will work out while you got the better end of it today and probably for 2025.
-
Probably even better if we were willing to take a poo-poo platter of players back from you or if we were actually shopping him around. I am really just happy for you that you realized that this trade today was one you can make without asking Slack first if you should send the offer. Baby steps for you, slugger!
-
How's all that interest in Lindor playing out for you?
-
I'm sure that will be a great idea for all of us because we all know you will definitely take an offer similar to the one you just got accepted, right?!?!? You probably should not have responded really.
-
If either of you value Jazz and Imanaga as keepers, I'm definitely open for business.
-
An OF with a PPG under 5 and a pitcher whose ERA is projected to regress by a full run. Not sure anyone in that trade is going to survive off season cuts.
-
Our thoughts exactly! We were going to refrain from posting about it, but we just wanted to agree with Big Papi.
-
Good trade for you Empire, three subpar players for two good players, bet you the three guys you gave will be cut at the end of season or before
-
We're getting a good deal of interest in Lindor. If you're thinking you can get in the money places, he might be the player to push you over! Please feel free to reach out if you want to get in on a possible deal for him.
-
Thanks, looking forward to the rebuild project!
-
Welcome Kyle! No where to go but up!
-
Good luck, Kyle! Hope everything goes well with your new team.
-
Hi Kyle, glad you're here!
-
Welcome to the league Kyle!

Hey everyone - RV informed us they're unable to continue managing their team. If you know anyone open to taking over the team let us know.
-
We could care less if our offers are rejected, but being constantly lowballed by one particular team for desirable players just isn't fun. Not to mention being asked by that same team to keep a trade offer open on a guy with an unknown diagnosis with the intention of accepting it if the player got a serious injury before we could cancel it just isn't cool. We get that it is just fantasy baseball, but we don't conduct our business that way. If that's being high and mighty, so be it.
-
There are only trades that are accepted and trades that are rejected. Don’t act high and mighty as if all your offers are gold.

We remember now why we quit Ottoneu. Send offers so we can sell off pieces and be done with this season. If you send crap offers, get ready for the proper sarcastic response as we will not just give away our players for ones that suck.
-
Juan Soto is on the market, send your offers, but he won't go cheap
-
I'm probably not the only one, but I'd move some younger guys for OF help.

Thanks, you too and everyone else!

Opening Day! Yay baseball! Good luck everyone!
-
We just want to let everyone know that since we didn't get a chance to trade during the offseason, we are definitely motivated to trade a 3B and one of our better SP's now.
-
Draft tomorrow!
