I'd also prefer evenings, later the better. Strongly prefer weekday evenings.

I’m ready to get drafting, evenings are good for me. The only days that are bad for me coming up are February 11-14th

Hi all, I just claimed Region Rats. I'm looking the roster over and will make cuts shortly. Looking forward to the season!

Yep, I agree - as soon as a new owner takes the team and has a chance to do penalty-free cuts, I'd love to get our auction going and am flexible on dates.
-
Don’t worry about the indicated draft date, it was automatically set at February 1, since we are past that date I didn’t want a new owner thinking we already drafted.

I prefer early too, so much can and will change pre season and leaves more time to make adjustments
-
Since he hasn’t visited since July, I’ll just abandon his team without contacting. Also let’s start talking auction date. My preference is to have it as early as possible, but I’m flexible.

I thought that teams that didn’t renew automatically went on the abandoned list. Apparently not.

Hey all, sorry if I missed this, but is Region Rats officially out? Do we need to abandon the team for a new owner?
-
Haha! Deferring the money works for all sides except for the side of honesty and accurate reporting. The agents look good as the deal is reported as larger than it actually is, the team signs its guy for the cost it wanted.

Are we sure the deal wasn't for $11 over a million years?
-
Who took over the Dodgers roster management? James Paxton $12m? For a team that showed so much fiscal discipline the past several years they have gone completely off the rails.

Is anyone looking for some last-minute trades before the deadline? Absolutely anyone on my team is available, I am likely not looking to compete this year so interested in prospects and cheap guys!

oops, keeper deadline reminder: January 31, 2024

True, this one will take some work. There are not many valuable assets left on it.

I’ve seen you turn around some pretty bad rosters before.

Dodgers better win at least one WS in the next 3-4 years because they are going to be in a mess like the National were. I have no problem with the Yahamoto signing, I believe he will be a stud. The Ohtaini signing was really fng stupid.

It would not surprise me if at some point in the deferment period of the contract his salary is converted into some sort of ownership shares. It’s a risk but over a 20 year period I think it’s likely to succeed. Looking forward to next season’s developments.
-
Clearly Ohtani is not all about money. He is only receiving $2m/yr for the first 10 years, however I'm sure his income will be greatly supplemented with endorsements,
Winnetka Cubs on

I don't get why Ohthani went put of his way to choose California twice with the extra tax
-
Looks like it comes out to be around $46m/yr. It should be reported as a $460/10yr contract.
Winnetka Cubs on

Well I guess he is a $2 million DH until he pitches again. Unbelievable that he is deferring $68 million per year until the 10 years are up and then will actually get paid $68 million per year the next 10 years after that.

Btw, the Dodgers are still below the Yankees in payroll this year.
Winnetka Cubs on
December 10, 2023 10:34 AM
-
I think the proper phrasing is Ohtani is a $70m DH until if/when he starts pitching. Two time TJ’s are iffy. After a 3rd time there is a very high probability your done as a pitcher.
I don’t think Ohtani should be paid much at all as a pitcher and is only worth about $30m/yr as a DH. The Dodgers should have spent $15 on JD Martinez, $30 on Yamamoto, and $25 on Snell.
Winnetka Cubs on

The rest of the league "dodged" a bullet in my opinion with the Dodgers signing Ohtani for 10 years and $700 million. That is banana pants crazy. One more TJ surgery and he is likely a $70 million DH. The Rangers approach seemed better for that kind of money. Even with deGrom going down they still had Semien and Seager. I wonder how much it will even affect the Dodgers if/when he does just turn into a DH? Speaking of economic disparity, LA and not NY is the evil empire now right?

Another thing, the economic disparity of MLB is getting very, very old. The fact that sports media is giddy about this really pisses me off. F^ck NY, I hope this works out like it did for the Mets. The Yankees should be rebuilding their sh!t old team, not desperately trying stay out of last place.

What particularly bothers me is that it appeared like the Yankees had exclusive rights to negotiate a trade for Soto. Where were the Cubs? Red Sox? Both teams have much deeper farm systems than the Yankees, at least higher end talent.
Winnetka Cubs on
December 8, 2023 7:14 AM
-
Yeah I am a bit surprised at some of these returns. I can appreciate the Padres trying to go for it and acquiring Soto when they did, but seems like they are in worse shape now than before they acquired him. What they gave up to get him was better than what they just got for sure. Abrams/Gore/Hassell/Wood is a much better package. I know he has only 1 year of control left now but still would have expected they could get more. Have read teams want Morel for a 1 year rental pitcher from the Cubs.
SodoMojoDojo on
December 7, 2023 10:31 AM

I think the Soto trade might be even worse. An over hyped reliever that had some good starts for some meaningless games and a handful of fringe prospects for one of the best young hitters in the game albeit for just one year. King might be a good pitcher, operative word "might".
Winnetka Cubs on

Lottery tickets is right, two prospects outside the top 400 prospects and a reliever that wouldn't make half the major league rosters.

I dont get how that Yankees offer was the best. Thats a red flag on Verdigo or Boston making emotional / message sending decision. I felt the Jake Burger trade last year was also red flag and Burger still looks great
-
Not certain of their reasoning but seems like a salary dump of a league average hitter in the last year of his contract. My guess is they free up around $10 million-$12 million for 2024 and get a couple lotto tickets in return. He's been solid but doesn't seem to stand out too much either.

Hello guys. Robert here, the new owner of Bob Eucker's Goats. Changing the name to Hope Springs External. Play in a few other Ottoneu leagues where I have shown a keen ability to transform squads from 9th-Last place to sixth place and then sit idly in the middle of the pack :)
-
Thanks for the welcoming, my trade block is updated look forward to the hot stove beginning next week. Thanks again!
-
Welcome Jas, this has been a great league and glad to have you on board!

Although I feel baseball managers make the least impact in all sports when it comes to coaching/managing, their pay reflects that, I applaud the Cubs signing Counsell. What’s an extra $2-3m? when we are talking payrolls of over $200m?

Trade window should open this coming week with no salary cap consequences. This can be one of the more fun and pivotal times for your team next year. Update your trade block if you would like to get preliminary talks going.

Hello all, excited to join this league and intrigued by the possibilities of this team. I’ve been playing Ottoneu since 2015 and am the commissioner of league 574.

We have lost two owners thus far: Bub Eucker and Oralando.

Thanks, was a great year playing with y'all. I like seeing numerous teams finish with over 18,000 points and expect this to continue to be a very competitive league. Think we have a good group here. Also a team just became available in one of my other leagues, League 774 if anyone is interested in picking up another one. It's the Gashouse Gorillas team.
