I'll apply $5 to Seth Lugo, $2 to Framber Valdez, and $1 to Ronel Blanco
-
Sorry - that last $2 arbitration coupon should be Rob/Nomar Comin, not Robert Sanchez
-
The other thing I want to bring up is the Roki Sasaki situation. Our charter lays out the rules for who is eligible and who is not. While Sasaki falls into the category as being eligible for the draft because he is not signing an MLB deal, we are handling this like we did with Ohtani in 2017/2018 when he signed a similar deal and also was not eligible for the MiLB draft.
So Roki Sasaki will NOT be eligible for the 5MiLB draft, rather just available during the MLB auction

Arbitration has ended - thank you all for completing that.
The next phase of the off-season has begun in which trades are open!
Also now that arbitration is over, it's also arb-coupon season. I will send the list of teams and the amount of coupons they have. Reminder that you can only use the coupons on players who had arbitration allocated to them, and only up to that amount (within your coupon limit). If you have any questions, please let me know!
Thanks
-
Thank you all for doing your arbitration, with 24 hours to spare!!
I’m still trying to find a manager to backfill Bandits.
PLEASE Let me know if you have any leads or recruitment ideas. I’ve tried Slack, Discord, Reddit!
-
Less than a week until Arbitration period is complete. PLEASE GO IN AND ADD YOUR ALLOCATIONS IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY.
Thanks.
-
Couple notes
1) Still actively looking for a new manager to fill Bandits team. Please let me know if you have any referrals!
2) Less than 2 weeks left for arbitration and no one (including me) has completed it. Please make sure you do so before 11/14
Thanks all!
-
We have 11 of 12 managers returning. Bat City Bandits never responded to my several emails, messages and reminders so I'm assuming he will not be returning. He also was not logged on since June 11.
That being said, we have an opening in the league. I always like to ask for referrals first, so please send if you have any, but I will also simultaneously be posting on Ottoneu slack looking for a new manager.
Please message me if you have someone you want to join.

In.
-
I am returning 🙂
-
Thanks all! I'd just like to thank Mr. Ohtani and his unbelievable season even when he isn't pitching.
Keep an eye out for end of season stuff - most importantly who will be returning.
If you know you are going to return, please feel free to add in message board now, but I will have a more formal deadline upcoming to make sure we have everyone returning.
Thanks again! Enjoy the playoffs!
-
All hail commish!

Congrats, Bryce.

Now that the regular season is officially over, I want to congratulate Bryce (Shirts & Skenes) on winning the league. I think he pretty much went wire-to-wire, and finished with the lead in P/G and P/IP. Very impressive! Well done!
-
So excited to see that I'd hit my catcher games limit already, but it turns out darn near half the league has been just as injudicious.
-
Rhett Lowder has been promoted by the Reds and expected to start Friday. He has been added to Seminole Stingrays. No further moves needed
-
Delayed promotion update. David Festa has been added to Fungo Follies. No moves needed
-
Jace Jung promoted to DET and added to Clark's team. Cut needs to be made to remain legal
-
Colby Mayo promoted to BAL and added to Tulsa Tinypeople roster. A cut is required to stay legal.
-
Delayed add. River Ryan was promoted earlier this week and added to Fungo Follies.
A cut is required to have legal roster
-
I forgot to post this earlier in the year. I wrote a magazine story about the Colorado Silver Bullets, an all-women baseball team sponsored that played its first games 30 years ago and closed shop a few years later. If you read the story, I hope you like it. The last section is my favorite. https://www.5280.com/all-woman-colorado-silver-bullets-baseball-team/
-
Connor Norby to be promoted to MLB. Added to Core of Canucks. No further moves need to be made to remain legal.
-
Good day to have Skenes on my bench...
-
Robert Gasser promoted to MLB and added to Get Up...Outta here. A cut is required to remain legal.
-
Jack Leiter promoted to MLB and added to Get Outta Here roster. No further changes need to be made to remain legal.
-
Love how competitive this league, especially at the top. As of 4/13 at 8pm CT, the top 5 teams are separated by less than 30 points!!
-
Thanks for the reminder - he’s been added!
-
Jackson Holliday is being promoted
-
Best day of the year! Enjoy the day and good luck all! Let’s have a great season!
-
Happy (real) Opening Day to all of you. Have a great season.
-
Jackson Merrill promoted to Jukt Micronics. A cut needs to be made to maintain legal roster.
-
Draft has OFFICIALLY concluded and now all auctions and trades have been opened up.
Reminder there is a 2-game series in Korea on March 20-21 featuring the LA Dodgers and San Diego Padres, so make sure you have your lineups set for that series.
The rest of teams will have Opening Day on March 28.
Good luck in 2024!
-
Thanks Commish for, as always, running a great operation. Appreciate the time and effort it takes!
-
I've closed out the draft on couchmanagers. Just need Blackouts to make their last selection and that will officially close out draft and move to next phase. Thanks for your patience everyone!
-
I’m not donee. I can’t open my auction room from my phone. I’m out in the middle of nowhere, as well. I need another day.
-
Everyone, but Blackouts, will be done once these auctions wrap up.
I’ll end auction after that and get his last few players and can start the next step of the offseason
-
Commish, Can we increase the # of noms and reduce the time limit and extension so folks can finish more quickly? I'm sure I have players I need to cut. ;)
-
We are nearly done with draft, if you have open slots and nominations left, PLEASE use those nominations now. It’s not fair or efficient to hold onto nominations until others use theirs.
If you have any issues, please contact me.
Thanks
-
Now 8!
-
6 open nominations out there - please go in and nominate when able. Thanks!
-
Thanks, Commish!

I'll be updating rosters in Ottoneu as auctions complete, please let me know if you see any errors/issues.
Thanks
-
Couchmanager website is back up and running! Please make sure you go back and check on bids/nominations!
-
Couchmanager site seems to be a bit lagging at this point. I've emailed the site owner and hopefully he can fix this soon. If this issue persists much longer, I may have to pause the draft to make it more fair for all managers.
Stay tuned!
