Thanks y'all for the messages and for a great season, even through all the injuries I know wrecked a lot of plans. Lincecum and Beachboys, well done for making me earn it, never felt comfortable at all.

Congrats Rapid!!

And great season everyone!
-
Congrats Rapid on your first championship! Well deserved. Quite the collection of young talent really paid off.
-
Polar Bear Pete and Cody Bellinger available for future value players!
-
I feel dumb riding Machado into the sunset of this season. Anyone interested in him? I need something usable for 2025. Good prospect? Cheap reliever? Lightly used refrigerator?
-
A healthy and red-hot Cody Bellinger is available via trade for those going for it in 2024. Then again at his reasonable salary, a good piece for 2025 as well!
-
I have fallen in the standings even more. No surprise, but it means I should put Machado on the block as well. Looking for 2025-ready player.
Not moving either of my pitchers unless I am totally and completely blown away with an offer.
-
Never give up, never surrender!! But I’d trade one of my catchers for a top starter
-
Not that I was going to close the gap to contend this year, but the last week has sealed my fate. Freeman, Machado, Cole all available to contenders. Looking for next year - not 2028 and beyond.
-
With Acuna and Contreras both out, it's going to be difficult to keep up with the pack, so I'm open for business with an eye on next year. Reach out if you are interested.
-
Hey all, reminder that our draft is THIS Saturday, March 9th, at 8 PM EST. Feel free to text me at 415-572-2276 if you're running late or having any issues. See you there!
-
So sorry to hear that, Drew. I'm glad this league can be somewhat of a beacon of hope and support during such difficult times. All the best to your uncle and to you and your family.
-
Thanks for sharing. I’m sorry you are going through this and my thoughts are with you, your uncle, and his family.

Hey all, my uncle has been battling liver cancer for a few years and just found out today the chemo stopped working and will begin hospice care. So I just wanted to say thanks to this league for the donations to help amazing organizations defeat cancer. It’s been an incredibly tough afternoon but things like this league make it a little easier. I’ll be making a donation in his name in the coming weeks/months. Thanks and hope you’re all well.
-
That should work since we’re going to be drafting at that time anyway. Draft will start at 8pm EST on March 9th.
-
I can make 8pm Eastern work. Thanks!
-
Got it. Yes you did. The email said “ if we move the time back to 7pm”. Maybe you meant from 7pm. So does 8pm EST start time give you enough time to finish up with your tournament and get settled someplace for the draft or do you need it to be 6pm EST?
-
I definitely cannot do 7pm eastern time on the 9th. It either needs to move back an hour, or we will need a different date. I emailed you noting that if you'll recall.
-
So 10-11 teams have either completed the poll or reached out to me saying that Saturday March 9th works for our draft date. Since no other dates have that many people available we are going with that. See you all in March!
-
Guys a Doodle poll was created to try and narrow down a draft date. These are all Friday-Sunday dates. Look closely and be kind with granting your availability. Trying to align 12 different schedules is really difficult. As soon as everyone fills it out we will go with the date that is easiest for the majority.

And if you want access to view the spreadsheet lmk as well
-
With most leagues requiring a renewal fee today, it's a good time to remember that this league is free for life with the idea being that we could use the money instead on donating to cancer charities. I just made a donation to the Buster and Kristen Posey Fund benefiting the V Foundation. I will start keeping track in a spreadsheet. If anyone has made/wants to make a donation to a cancer charity and let me know the amount, feel free. Wish I'd been tracking all along but no time like the present.
-
Hoskins or Ozuna still available for equal value at another position
-
Harper, Hoskins, Walker, Ozuna. Two can go. Feel free to send offers.
-
Bryce Harper, Christian Walker, Rhys Hoskins, and Marcell Ozuna are all on the block at keep-able prices. Four guys for two spots so looking to make a trade or two.

Welcome, David!

Welcome to the league, David! Really glad to have you. Sounds like you'll be a perfect fit here.

Aside from losing friends and family to multiple forms of cancer, I have recently become aware of a particularly rare and aggressive type called ALK+ lung cancer. I'm actually in a fantasy football league that is currently running a fundraiser for it, and I would love a chance to put the word out on another platform .... especially one as far reaching as Ottoneu. For more info .... www.alkpositive.org

Thanks, Commish! Checking in from Seminole, FL. I'm David and have been a member of the Ottoneu community since 2015. I'm grateful for the opportunity to join this league. To all who have lost loved ones to cancer, my heart truly goes out. For all those who have beaten it (as well as knowing others who have) congratulations and best of luck on continued health.

Guys SABRfish has asked out and the team has a new owner. He found us via Slack after Ben posted the opening in #msnagerswanted. He seems like he is going to be a good fit. I’ll let him introduce himself when he gets the opportunity.

This World Series is fun, actually

Thank you ! Thank you! It took 12,years with a few years off but I finally got it done. I’m very fortunate to have been able to reclaim my original Ottoneu team. Special thanks to Ben for reaching out to me.
-
And congrats to indyralph on following up last year's win with a close runner-up finish. And to Disassembly on their first top-three finish. Great season everyone.
-
HUGE congrats to Vote For Pedro on his first league win!
-
What a run! Congrats!

Thanks Indy. I really appreciate it. I had a season of health and guys getting hot down the stretch.
-
Well, barring some kind of miracle, it seems like Pedro's humility from a few weeks back was misplaced. I wish I could post pictures here so I could show you all the giant egg my pitching staff laid down the stretch. Even if they hadn't, Pedro's trio of Phillies hitting 4 homers per day was going to be too much to overcome. Congrats!
-
Taking best offers for Goldy. Send whatever you would do. Tight race and he could make the difference! Others available as well, inquire within.
-
Definitely a good couple weeks for my squad but not a done deal by any means...
-
Thanks for taking the baton Ralph…I’m thinking you are going to be tough to keep pace with.
-
Willing to move my $10 Javier for a decent SP and upper tier RP. If anyone is interested let me know.
-
If anyone is looking for catching Bailey and Heim are available
-
So glad I cut Ozuna at $1 when I had zero reason to do so except that I felt like it!
-
Looking to move $12 Adames for SP if anyone is interested
-
With Rasmussen going down for the season, I think I'm officially out of it. All big stars (except for Tatis) are available for 2024 value
-
Still looking for good SP if anyone is in need of hitters.
-
With Kyle Wright on the shelf I’m in the market for SP. I have bats to trade.
