OK, I have finished arbitration for the last three teams. I will post those arb numbers in Slack for transparency. You are welcome to double check my math!

Thanks for your understanding, everyone. The remaining owners are sending me arb numbers as soon as they can and I expect to have this resolved over the weekend. FYI, players who have already been traded this offseason are not eligible targets.

Works for me, appreciate the hard work commish
-
I am 100% okay with this. Thanks for looking out for everyone
-
Hi everyone, I completely fell asleep at the wheel (taking a break after working to replace four owners) and failed to note the arbitration season or even complete my own allocation before the deadline. We have three teams (Caimans, Little Red Birds, and Hungry Hungry Homers) that failed to allocate. We really don't want this kind of situation, so I propose those teams send me arb numbers and I will manually adjust player salaries. Are owners ok with this approach?

Thanks for the quick response, everyone! I have added the new owners to the league and I'll let them introduce themselves. I'll get to work adding them to Slack as well.

Aye! And thanks! (lookit the Curveballs climb the tenure ladder...)
-
Aye!
-
Aye, thanks for the hard work commish!
-
Aye. Let's go!
-
Aye, welcome! (Thanks, commish!)
-
Aye, seconded. Sad to see people go, but hey maybe it’ll help lift me up from 12th place (and from surviving by only 126.1 pts)!
-
Aye - I look forward to trading all of my AL players to Eckfords :)
-
Aye. And thanks for the effort you put in.
-
Eckfords - jackljlo - Over 25 years of fantasy experience, mostly in a keeper 5x5 AL-only roto league. League winner last 4 years and looking for a more competitive experience in an active league with engaged owners.
Licking the Struckies - chugmilk - Recommended by the Ringtails. Over a decade of fantasy experience and looking for the next challenge.
All in favor of these two candidate owners say "aye" or send me a DM!

News: The Eckfords have also decided to retire. While turning over four managerial slots in one offseason is less than ideal, every owner has left for unrelated reasons. I am not concerned about the overall health of our league, but I am a tired commissioner! The good news is I now have candidates for both remaining vacancies. (See next post)

Regarding illegal rosters during the offseason: I just tried to cut a player, but rosters are locked now.
-
Hi folks, Licking the Struckies has informed me that he will not be returning for the 2025 season, despite Ohtani and Soto's pleading. I am recruiting on the Ottoneu community page, but if anyone has a friend who can be lured by superstars, go ahead and invite them.

Congratulation! Impressive year. You made us look pretty bad.
-
Congratulations Skubal! Looking forward to the offseason!
-
Congratulations to Skubal Do-Baddoo on the league championship!

For fun though you could also claim the 12 available players on waivers to really build up that cut list ;)
-
Note to whoever just nominated a bazillion players, including their grandmother: You are not allowed to enter the offseason with an illegal roster. Teams are allowed to carry over 40 players only if the extras are on the 60-day IL. If you have an illegal roster after Monday, you must cut down to a legal one.

Welcome.
-
Hey all! Thanks for the opportunity to join this league! Can't wait to compete with all of you. We will be relocating and rebranding to become the Chattanooga Ringtails

Welcome, Jon Polinske, new owner of the Triangles!

Alllllllmost therrrrrrre....

So sorry to have to let this team go - Bull Durham is one of the best leagues in the Ottoverse
Good luck to everyone chasing that 14k point threshold!
-
Hi everyone, Michael announced on Slack that he does not intend to return as manager of the Triangles. I have a prospective owner lined up named Jon P. He is a 16-year vet of fantasy baseball, mostly H2H daily points leagues. This would be his first Ottoneu experience. Please send me your votes on his candidacy via direct message. It would be great to have a full slate of owners lined up heading into the offseason.

Welcome, Koufax!
-
Hello, everyone! I'm thrilled to join such an active and well-established league. Thank you for having me. And please welcome the new players of the Koufax Curveballs
-
OK, with any votes received in favor, I have added George Bounacos to the league as the new owner of the Ghastly Monsters. Welcome, George!

Hi everyone, Kevin has informed me that he does not intend to return as manager of the Ghastly Monsters. I have a prospective owner lined up named George Bounacos. He is a 40-year vet of fantasy baseball and currently has a FGPTs team in League 752. Please send me your votes on his candidacy via direct message. It would be nice to have someone in before the end of the season.

Let's be honest, though. The real race is whether us bottom-dwellers are going to reach the 14,000 pt minimum threshold. It's a real nail-biter!
-
No doubt - nobody was making moves to compete with the lead that Skubal has which made for a quiet deadline.
-
Hard to make trades when someone is up by over 2,000 points 😂

The deadline passed with no moves. Zzz...
But the auction block remains busy as ever!

I’ve got about 12ish hours to sell young and cheap talent for short term upgrades for the OPL snap. I have money to give as well. Hit me with your best shots!
-
Ah...but maybe Turnbull is the next Strider!

Dropping Strider for Turnbull is very very sad
-
Injuries are killing my roster: 9 down already and pitchers dropping. I see Rose just lost Strider & Valdez too. TJ surgery (and a year off) is now a right of passage for pitchers. Ouch!

Friendly reminder to anyone interested - there's still time to sign up for the Ottoneu Prestige League (OPL). It's a great add-on to the normal Ottoneu experience as teams from across leagues compete against each other in a best-ball style, survivor-like format. It's a blast to track and play over the course of the season. Check it out and enter here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/opl/

Happy "Opening Day", everyone!

As usual I would like to request a short break around the 90 minute mark tonight
With ~180 open roster spots across the league, I suspect I won't be the only one who needs to rest their +1 finger
-
Got $17 just burning a hole in my pocket.
-
Reminder: Draft tomorrow!
