  • For those of you looking to make moves prior to the deadline, I find the Trade Block particularly useful. Mine will be updated here shortly. Hopefully we'll see some action.

  • Good morning all. We're about two weeks away from the Keeper Deadline for both the major league and minor league rosters. Please make sure your rosters are legal before the deadline. All of the MiLB rosters are up to date in the Google Sheet, and MiLB cuts/promotions can be made to the message board before the deadline. We did have a question from one of the owners about whether we should continue with the MiLB rosters. If anyone feels similarly feel free to speak up.

  • I appreciate the help, thanks!

  • Welcome Andy, you’re allowed to keep a max of 5 milb players. Cuts are due at the same time as your 40 man and can be posted to the message board. After the main draft, we’ll run a slow draft to fill open milb slots. All players have a $1 salary when called up, doesn’t matter how long they’ve been on your milb roster. You can call players up prior to their major league debut to create roster space. Once they make their debut they have to be added. Here’s an article that breaks down the basics -

  • (cont.) Does everyone on the minor league squad get that $1 salary when brought up, or let's say I have an 18-year-old and I keep him year after until he debuts at 22, does his starting salary change? Anything else I should know? Thanks.

  • Hey everyone, I'm Andy, new owner of team Red (new name TBD). I'm looking for some clarification about the 5-man minor league rosters so I know what's going on for offseason transactions. Here's what I know so far: I have a 5-player minor league reserve squad, and if they get called up during the season they get a $1 salary. Things I need to know: Do we carry over all of those 5 players into next season and draft another 5-man squad? Or do we all keep a max of 5 minor reserves at one time?

  • Arbitration ends tomorrow, and trading season begins! Get those allocations in. A reminder that you must allocate all $25 or none of it counts.

  • Looks like our team in need of ownership has been claimed, please welcome AWS to the league. Also a reminder that arbitration is open. Looks like a few you have already made a start. If you're planning to wait deeper into the arb period for strategy purposes, please shoot me a message so I don't hassle you about getting that taken care of.

    Perfect Warrior on October 19, 2020 10:49 AM

  • Thank you to everyone for a great year. Next up is arbitration. Here is a primer for those who have not been through the process before. https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-arbitration-guide/. If you are planning to wait until the end of arbitration to allocate, please shoot me a note so I don't hassle you and even if you aren't planning to play next year please wait to drop your team until you complete arbitration. Finding new owners at this time of year is challenging.
