How did I lose the waiver claim? Is waiver priority tied to start the season? I thought finishing last carried the waiver privilege?

Looking to move Ramirez-Bogaerts-Hader before opening day. Let's make a deal

I have some pretty good minor league players on the trade block, and some decent ones. OF and MI are biggest focus, RP and SP next.

Cuts made. Thanks all, and happy draft prep!

The cuts are fine with me!

I’m ok with these. Welcome aboard Bergman

Let him make his cuts. 1) New to Otto 2) Took team only a week before cut deadline. I don't understand how there could be any issue with this. It's the right thing to do and completely within the commissioner's power.

Drop:
Brent HoneyWell
Clarke Schmidt
Patrick Sandoval
Logan Webb
Josiah Gray
Jazz Chisholm
That should give me $33 available & 22 roster spots
Sorry. I didn’t know the rules.
-
I think Puig's is a fair point - let's add 'having the list of proposed cuts submitted to the league for review before being executed' be part of the proposal
-
Yeah I’m fine with that
-
I’m fine with it. We need the dues!

Thanks for running this by us. I agree it’s in the league’s best interests to permit him to make additional cuts, however it does give me pause as it could be an unfair advantage and also sets a bad precedent. I propose that Bergman’s cuts be submitted to all league members for approval before they are executed. So long as a player hasn’t had adverse “new news” since the cut deadline, I personally wouldn’t veto the cut. Perhaps approval should be required by more than a simple majority.
-
right. But since this is beyond the hard and fast rules, I would like to give you all a day or two to present a convincing counter-argument before I permit the extra round of cuts. That is to say, please let me know if there are any objections. Thanks

It appears we have one unresolved issue before Draft Day. Bregman's roster is "illegal" as currently constructed. I have alerted the GM and he is willing to correct with a few additional cuts before the Draft. He is also new to Ottoneu, taking over the team about a week before cut deadline, and perhaps did not fully understand the rules. Given that new owners are extended a round of penalty-free cuts, and the circumstances, I would like to extend to Bregman the opportunity to get his r

Ok gang, draft date is set for Sunday, March 14 at 5 pm EST (4 pm CST).

Anyone unable to draft on Sunday, March 14 at 4 pm Central time?

Vote for Sunday with mid-March date or later if season is delayed

Weekends usually work for me.

I have a draft scheduled for March 22. Pretty flexible otherwise.

Don't have a strong draft preference. Sun and Sat are best but I can make weekday nights work if need be (I'm PST).
-
I think mid-march makes sense with the uncertainty behind the season start date but am fine drafting sooner. Saturday or Sunday is preferable
-
Thanks for being understanding Commish. I’m good with whatever everyone else wants on draft date. I’ll make it work.
-
Any strong preferences for draft date? In the next few weeks or closer to season start in mid- to late-March? Last year I think we did Sunday afternoon, which seemed to work well for most. Let me know what you all think.
-
Thanks! It was an honest mistake.
Cut:
Hosmer, Wong, Odor, Semien, Benintendi, Cain, Peralta, Santana, Polonco, Akiyama, Moniak, Hendricks, Ray, Tanaka, Folty, Odorizzi, Freeland, Teheran, Greene, Losiaga, Ottovino, Melancon

Rather than wait for someone to howl that Sons of Pitches has had 2.5 months to make cuts, I will make a proposal. Honest mistake? Ok. It is in the league's best interest that Sons makes his cuts. However, there is a period of analysis here not afforded to other owners. So, Sons, please submit a list of your cuts by noon today on the league message board and I will manually make them.
-
Commish tools have an option to manually make penalty free cuts.
-
Well, I came on to cut my players at 11:12 CT. Evidently the deadline was Eastern Time. I live Central Time zone and did not know this. Can I cut players?
-
Let me know what players interest you from my team. Message me the players and I’ll look to see if anything works.
-
Well done old sport!
-
Thanks Gentlemen

Congratulations on the win, Des Moines.

This is disheartening. I am new to the league, and my trades have upset at least two owners here, kicking off the current dustup, so...I don't want to overstep. But I do hope this can be resolved without the commissioner feeling as though he needs to vacate not just his position, but the league as well. I agree with Prohibs that the suggestion of collusion, without asking for an explanation, was unnecessary and, frankly, hurtful. I would hope that after two days, tempers have cooled.

Win, this league is in trouble. I don't have any interest in continuing as commissioner and have about as much enthusiasm about staying in the league. If you are willing to put up with the whining and bullshit of being commissioner of a no-prize money league, please let me know in the next couple of days. When your hobby starts to create stress, especially in these times, maybe you need a new hobby.

The more I think about this situation the more unsettling I find it. The comments from Pitches and Puig about cheating, stealing and collusion are inappropriate. My response was to provide precedent and share discussion of the trade, which was an absolute mistake on my part. The effect of these comments will be to discourage trading and year-round engagement, which is why I find this format to be fun. If this makes even one GM tentative about pursuing trades that they think will help their team
