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 π

Iβve 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!

Hi everyone, I found us a new prospective owner to take Gunslinger's place. Michael Piascik (mcpie97) is a three-year Otto-vet with two other teams. He is looking for an active, but chill, league. All in favor?

There are definitely people on the Otto slack that would proxy if you ask

Iβve got several openings across my leagues that have been slow to fill. In those situations I usually just have someone proxy arb (a volunteer to be temporarily added to the team to do arb).
-
Hi everyone, I still haven't found a replacement for Gunslinger. I asked him if he could stick around for arb, but haven't heard back. If I don't get a replacement in before the deadline, how would everyone like to proceed? Normally, it doesn't take this long to fill a slot.

Sorry to see Gunslinger depart! I'll be working on a replacement owner ASAP, so let me know if you have anyone you can recruit.

We have enough votes, the Strikeouts will be retained!

Still a number of teams who need to comment on the proposed rule changes. Head over to Slack to see the conversation!

Letβs keep the Strikeouts.
-
I also vote in favor of retaining the Strikeouts. He put forth a good faith effort at the end of the season and picked up some speculative pieces, as a rebuilder should do. OK, that's six votes!
Regarding the proposed rules changes, let's all head over to the Slack channel, which is a much better platform for rules discussions. Thanks for the engagement, everyone, it keeps this league healthy and fun!

I could see voting on a switch from a points threshold to a caps-related threshold manager vote
Iβm also in favor of keeping arbitration in place
Keeping the standard Ottoneu rule set in place keeps the league OPL eligible and makes it easier to recruit a replacement manager if one of us has to drop out due to unforeseen life stuff happening
