All right! Psyched we are getting 162! Thanks for setting up the poll Z, I've added my availability.

Hell yeah! I just sent out a league-wide message regarding the free agent auction, so check your email. The most important point is that you need to fill out your auction availability ASAP. I'd like to get this set soon. Here is the link: https://forms.gle/Avwbw3Fb3CjdETxj8

BASEBALL!

First two series cancelled :(

We will wait to schedule the auction until there is some clarity on the season. I will send out a scheduling link when that time comes. So, until then, there is really zero to do here. Thus, we end one of the best parts of the fantasy season and enter the worst. See you all on the other side, whenever that may be...

The deadline is usually January 31. It was delayed until February 15, which was yesterday. Rosters are locked between now and the auction.

Due to lockout, Ottoneu Fantasy Baseball keeper deadline delayed. That is right at the top of the page yet my roster is locked?

I'd prefer to wait as well... sorry I have been off the grid lately. My wife had surgery than a week later our whole family came down with Covid.

I'd prefer to wait as well.
-
Waiting definitely sounds like the best strategy. We all have too much invested in our rosters to be bidding on players with such uncertainty surrounding them right now.
-
I think waiting is good plan. It's too hard right now to properly value MLB free agents - and there'll be plenty of trades to come too.
-
Now that keepers are locked, we set our sights on the auction draft. This league typically aims to hold the auction in mid-March, given an MLB Opening Day of roughly April 1. But with a delayed start inevitable, I think we ought to shoot for a later draft so that we can make bids k with better information on FA landing spots, injuries, etc. At this point, I am inclined to wait to even schedule the auction until there is some idea of when the season might start.

Keeper deadline is in 4 hours. Rosters must be legal by that time (after accounting for any trades that are agreed to prior to the deadline).

Hey all - just a reminder that the keeper deadline is February 15 at 11:59 pm Eastern. That is next Tuesday. At that point, rosters will need to be in compliance with cap rules, are locked until the auction draft, and all cuts will incur the standard cap penalty. So, get your last-minute trades in! But of course, with the lockout, Ottoneu may extend the keeper deadline. It is shown in the teal bar on the league home page. What an offseason for this league; nice job everyone!

I just adjusted the salaries per Arlen's allocations. For Pablo Lopez, the salary adjustment is showing up as a "move", but I think that's a mistake and is somehow pulling in that he was traded to Optimistic Fantasy a couple weeks ago. I believe current ownership and salary is correct for him. Please verify and point out if you think I've made any errors. That finally wraps up arbitration for this offseason!

PSA: Make sure you renew your team by paying your dues by January 31! I see that about a third of us have paid.

I had to boot Abandoned since he hasn't logged back in since the day he claimed the team and hasn't answered emaails. So, still looking to fill the league. Also, given the lockout, the Ottoneu cut deadline has been moved to Feb 15. You can see this at the top of every page. Nice offseason everyone! So. Many. Trades.

Possibly... Abandoned hasn't logged in since taking over his team on 1/5 though. Can you give him a nudge, Zach, and check he's still up for it?

Looks like we've got a full house fellas! Welcome to the Arlen Longhorns. The previous owner didn't make arbitration allocations, so you get to. Post them here when you're ready, just like some other teams did last week. Let me know if you're new to Ottoneu or otherwise have any questions. Glad to have you.

Ok all - I've made the salary changes. Please double check and note any errors here. There will be more arb dollars allocated once Jib and Tram have new owners. Abandoned made arb allocations before exiting the league. Feel free to start trading, but know that your new players could be hit with arb.
We're on the lookout for 3 new owners; tell your friends! Cut deadline is JANUARY 31. Roster must be legal by then. Happy New Year to all!

Once posted, I will manually update the salaries. I will get mine done in the next couple of days. Hopefully Schmo and Kekemba can do so as well. Merry Christmas everyone. And a happy new Ottoneu year.

Glad to hear. Its possible you didn't fully allocate. If you don't allocate 1) at least $1 to every other team and 2) all of your $25, then none of your allocations count. As for the vote, we had 4 vote to allow Schmo and I to allocate, which is a majority of the voting teams, so it passes. Kekembas also gets to allocate as the new owner of an abandoned team. When Jib and Sweet Lou get new owners, they too will be allowed to allocate. Arb allocations are public, so post them here.

Hi all. Apologies for the delay but I am excited for another year of Ottoneu. I admittedly fell off a bit on the back half of the season but I’ve been thinking about how to structure my team this offseason. One thing I’m a little confused about was the arb allocations because I definitely filled them out but perhaps I never submitted them? Anyways, would be happy to redo them and agreed with the sentiment that they are important to competitive balance of the league.

Sorry - yes, I think all old managers should arb.

Kekembas - you already get to arb as a new owner. But we need you to vote on whether to allow old owners who missed the arb deadline to be able to do so or not.
