Hello everyone! Thank you for having me. Rest assured, I'm an engaged owner. However this is my first year playing Ottoneu. Primarily play NFBC. Looking forward to meeting all of you. On Slack as SpinningSeams.

Hey all, I'm in too many leagues and need to scale back. Best of luck to you all, and please mark my team abandoned.

FYI, found someone from Slack to proxy Wacha's arb. I'll do my allocations today or tomorrow and we'll be all set. I still need to find 2 new owners. Haven't had any luck on Slack yet. If I can't find anyone in the next couple of weeks, I will open up the teams.

Yikes...my attempt at a joke, appently missed the target with one owner. The winky emoji was me trying to make this clear. I spoke to the other owner via email....and thought I would share his intention to disperse arb $$....holy cow...lighten up.

So you know each other in real life and have essentially admitted to collusion on that trade. This is disgusting. I will not be part of a league where this takes place.
-
I talked to 'Cutchen Fire this weekend and he is planning on allocating just hadn't gotten to it yet. In case you are wondering...I was over at his place mowing his lawn...still paying him back for the Trea Turner trade ;-)

Just under two weeks left in arbitration and we still have 5 teams that need to complete it. I know Wacha is still without an owner. Has anyone had any luck finding a new owner? And does anyone have an update on the other 4 teams?
-
No problem. Also, just a heads up, my wedding is coming up next weekend and then I'll be on vacation for a couple of weeks, so I'll be extremely busy from now until about November 12th. I'll still have internet access, so shouldn't be an issue, but I'll likely be slower in responding to anything that comes up.
-
Thank you. I'll ask around too.
-
Worst case we can find a proxy to do arbitration for him. I think we'd be better off trying to find someone through Slack vs. just opening up the team. Have heard some horror stories about randoms who claim abandoned teams. Doesn't seem to be much traction on slack at the moment, but I'll give it a try...
-
Hey Commissioner, we need to make Wacha's team available to be picked up. With any luck we'll be able to get a new owner before arbitration ends. Or does anyone know someone who would be interested in taking over the team?
-
Find a new owner for my team if you can. I will be leaving.

I just scanned through the owner pages and it looks like Wacha has been absent the longest, and that was on 30 Sept. So it looks like everyone is still active. Is anyone planning on leaving this offseason? I only mention it so that we might be able to find a replacement before the end of arbitration.
-
Arbitration starts in a week. We need everyone to participate to make the league as competitive as possible. It only takes a few minutes to allocate the money, and the process lasts for a month so everyone should be able to find a time to complete it. Lack of participation can change the dynamic of the auction quite a bit. If you have any questions please consult the offseason rules, or you can ask me, Elitists (commissioner), or I'm sure any of the other owners would be willing to help.

Congrats on the win Plum Smuggler.

Seems obvious the 2 involved in the trade didn't vote. Not sure much can be inferred from the 4 non votes. But you waged an excellent campaign.

Half the league vetoed the trade while only two approved it. Sadly four people did not vote.
-
There is no payout in this league and everyone had to pay to be in it. Let the trade be and stop griping. None of us can predict the future. Just bc one of us thinks we wouldn't make a certain trade, doesn't mean we should worry that another person does want to make that trade esp if that person paid to be in the league with no rewards.

So I think the issue is that generally a trade is better for one side this year, and the other side the next. In this case, everyone who is upset seems to believe that the Turner side is better for this year and next. I think everyone can at least agree that Turner is the best asset in the trade. Anyway, I think we should all just cast our vote and we'll see what happens
-
And now you have commented. I didn't say anything about a veto. I just gave my opinion. We do all value players differently so I take no offense to your comment on the trade I made.
-
Quantum...you just made a deal that I HATED for Upper West Side. Given salaries and position eligibility. I wouldn't trade Rizzo for Harper or Wood for Gordon in straight up deals. Hated it more because you benefit huge and we are in a battle. I didn't comment on the public board or privately....or even entertain the idea of veto. We all value players and team need differently. Thx again for your breakdown.

That is a weak return for those three. I would want all three if I was building for next year. Colome is a keeper for next year. Bichette is fine but he is two years away from the bigs and no help next year. The others are cuts imo. Turner, Smoak and McCullers all will have surplus.
-
I agree with Panic. Dragging each other under the bus doesn't do us any good. Collusion is the only possible issue here. Personally I do not think that's what happened. If you do then Veto the trade. If the trade still goes through then ask the Commissioner to look into it. As far as I'm concerned if there's no collusion there's no issue. We are all free to manage our teams as we see fit within the rules.
-
My personal view of the veto is to use it for collusion. Don't really see it here. Went through and looked at the previous trades they have made together. Turner and Manaea were swapped for Kluber last year. If you thought this trade was a little light maybe you should have inquired on Turner yourself and offered something more. Hit turner with the max arbitration $$ in the offseason. Anyway that is just my two cents on this issue. Maybe not be a great trade but no need to drag them all day.
