• In a non-commissioner note, I still have several expensive guys that I'd be willing to move. I'm interested in any trade that cuts salary for me before the deadline.

  Player to be Named Later on February 11, 2022 12:38 PM

• PTBNL is promoting Riley Greene and Oneil Cruz. I am also promoting Geraldo Perdomo for Club 10B and Shane Baz for Dukes of September since they both graduated.

• Welcome Walt, we're glad to have you! We've been throwing around the idea of a dispersal draft, but since you said you'd prefer to take the team as-is I think we'll just let you do that. You are the first to respond and the team that you took isn't significantly better than the others. We will address a dispersal draft with the additional new teams as they fill. If anyone has concern with this, please let me know.

  Player to be Named Later on February 10, 2022 8:36 PM

• Hey all, so happy to be joining. I've been playing fantasy baseball for nearly 30 years, the last 4 of which have exclusively been with Ottoneu. I don't believe that I'm in any leagues with any of you, so look forward to getting to know you all.

  Finneytown Flusterclucks on February 10, 2022 7:42 PM

• I’m in as well and will make all appropriate roster moves by deadline. Thanks Greg for stepping in!

  Love, Indubitably ❤️ on February 10, 2022 3:11 PM

• I'm staying around in the league - it's not dead, and I'm looking forward to having some new owners join.

  Ump Yours on February 10, 2022 2:14 PM

• Glad you are taking over, PTBNL! You may call-up P Grayson Rodriguez to my Active Roster

  Wins Above Reality on February 10, 2022 1:59 PM

• 2. It's open to discussion, but I think the 5milb cut deadline should still coincide with the Ottoneu cut deadline. There are several players on 5milb rosters that have graduated, myself included now that I traded for Cruz. So let's get those rosters cleaned up in the next few days when you make your roster cuts. Just post your 5milb roster moves here on the board and I'll make the changes. This doesn't apply to new owners, we'll give them a grace period to get up to speed once they join.

  Player to be Named Later on February 10, 2022 12:55 PM

• Just a couple of housekeeping items. 1. The league is password-protected and I'm going to leave it like that. I think we're open to anyone joining, but since there are custom rules ($100 side pot on LeagueSafe and 5milb rosters), I want to make sure new managers know what they are signing up for before they pay the league fees and join. You can either have them reach out to me on the Community site or email me at grripp@gmail.com and I'll work with them to get in the league.

  Player to be Named Later on February 10, 2022 12:51 PM

• First off, sorry to see all the existing managers go. This is a fun league and that's a lot of good managers that we're losing. I appreciate the help, MDDC. I think the biggest need right now is recruiting. It's almost time for the 5milb draft, but we can't schedule that until we fill the vacancies. I think this league has a lot to offer with good owners and the 5milb rosters, so hopefully we can find some good "new blood".

  Player to be Named Later on February 10, 2022 12:42 PM

• I’m here to stay if we can find new owners. Some new blood could be a good thing after a pretty dead offseason. I can help out with recruiting owners and anything else if needed.

  Mayor of Ding Dong City on February 10, 2022 10:56 AM

• Find a replacement for my team

  Arms and Legs on February 10, 2022 10:13 AM

• I'm not going to force anyone to stay, but the league isn't dead, just transitioning after both primary commishes left. PTBNL has volunteered to take over as primary commish (I'll gladly help out) and administer 5MiLB.

  Columbus Buckeyes 🌰 on February 10, 2022 10:07 AM

• Ooh, I believe we needed a replacement for Jokers Storm too, who never arbed. This league has been dead all off-season and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get better. Consider me out too.

  Arms and Legs on February 10, 2022 10:05 AM

• Hey, I messaged the old commish earlier in the week that I didn’t want to play either. I had already paid the money to ottoneu but that’s not a big deal. Can you remove me?

  Finneytown Flusterclucks on February 10, 2022 9:59 AM

• Well, I guess I'm the new commish by default? Would love to have someone help out with that, especially with 5MiLB draft/roster administration, is anyone able to take that on? In the meantime, it looks like we need new managers for Club 10 Billion and Rubber Duckies

  Columbus Buckeyes 🌰 on February 10, 2022 9:41 AM

• Cool, I’ll let him chill on my 5MiLB roster for the time being. Thanks for clarifying!

  Love, Indubitably ❤️ on September 9, 2021 1:50 PM

• Any MiLB players that debut after September 1st have the option to be called up or they can be left on your 5MiLB roster for the rest of this season. They will need to be added to your regular roster after arbitration. So you can leave him on your 5MiLB roster for now.

  Rubber Duckies on September 9, 2021 1:36 PM

• Question for the commish(s). I have Josh Lowe on my 5MiLB and he debuted yesterday. Since we're in September, do I have to call him up? If so, please place him on my roster. But if I have the option to keep him on 5MiLB, I'd prefer that option. Thank you!

  Love, Indubitably ❤️ on September 9, 2021 1:16 PM

• Anyone of the 3 commissioners want to take a crack at fixing the Duran situation? Thanks

  Arms and Legs on July 18, 2021 10:46 AM

• Say it ain’t so ANDY!!!

  Love, Indubitably ❤️ on July 17, 2021 10:52 AM

• No worries. I should have taken more aggressive action with the Mayor once I had been alerted of the issue. My apologies!

  Points Taken on July 16, 2021 10:55 AM

• Apologies about starting the auction for Duran. I got a little excited when I saw him listed as cut in the transactions.

  Ump Yours on July 16, 2021 10:30 AM

• By way of apologizing for my oversight-- actually probably a bad way to do this-- I am announcing my departure from this league in all capacities at the end of this season. My commissioneering, even while sharing responsibilities with two excellent volunteers, has been half-hearted at best, and you all deserve better. Going to be stepping away from all but one league for 2022, I believe. This year, I will commit to managing Club 10B responsibly, and hopefully doing better job on the commish beat

  Points Taken on July 16, 2021 10:29 AM

• We may have just broken the game, we'll see. Jarren Duran is added to Mayor of Ding Dong City roster at his callup value of $1 for now.

  Points Taken on July 16, 2021 10:26 AM

• FYI - Jarren Duran is not eligible for auction. He is owned on a 5MiLB roster. He was added incorrectly to my team (completely my fault) and was cut so that he could be added to the correct team. I don't know if we can cancel a current auction. If we can't, he will have to be removed from whatever team wins the auction and added to the correct team. I hope this is less confusing than it sounds.

  Rubber Duckies on July 16, 2021 10:24 AM

• If any non-Mayor of DDC sellers are out there, feel free to peruse the Club 10 Billion roster.

  Points Taken on June 18, 2021 1:57 PM

• Woah. Back to back blockbusters. Mayor announces he's selling with a bang

  Arms and Legs on June 9, 2021 10:28 AM

• Can someone please add Daniel Lynch to my main roster from my Taxi Squad? Thanks

  Finneytown Flusterclucks on May 3, 2021 10:10 AM

• All of our LeagueSafe payments are in as of this morning. Thanks, bunch of excellent peeps!

  Points Taken on April 25, 2021 11:30 AM

• Thanks CB - much appreciated. My team still sucks with them restored. Can you fix that too?

  Ump Yours on April 23, 2021 10:19 PM

• Restored Ump Yours’ accidental cuts. Apologies for the delay.

  Points Taken on April 23, 2021 5:51 PM

• Alex Kiriloff has been added to Joker’s Storm main roster with $1 salary at owner’s request.

  Points Taken on April 23, 2021 5:47 PM

• Can someone please add Kiriloff to my main roster please? Thanks.

  Finneytown Flusterclucks on April 23, 2021 4:59 PM

• I immediately regret that offer. I hope the Yankees turn it around quick, otherwise that trade is going to look bad

  Player to be Named Later on April 23, 2021 4:01 PM

• No issue for me if you reverse Matt's cuts.

  Love, Indubitably ❤️ on April 21, 2021 7:43 PM

• No problems here. I did the same thing a few months ago when planning cuts ahead of the Keeper deadline. Unless I was transported to an alternate reality (entirely possible considering current times), I believe Niv swapped the positions of the Confirm/Cancel buttons?

  Wins Above Reality on April 21, 2021 5:23 PM

• Hi everyone. I just made an honest mistake and accidentally cut Hunter Renfroe and Griffin Canning. I was doing some roster planning for ongoing auctions and hit confirm instead of cancel. Any chance of getting some help on this one? If not, I totally understand. Thanks.

  Points Taken on March 12, 2021 11:41 AM

• Northern Newcomers has made their round of penalty free cuts. There will not be any adjustments to the 5MiLB roster. At this point all rosters should be set for the draft next week.

  Rubber Duckies on March 9, 2021 8:11 PM

• Welcome, Austin! Great to have you on board.

  Points Taken on March 9, 2021 8:11 PM

• All - We have found an owner to take over the Northern Newcomers team. His name is Austin. Please join me in welcoming him. He has fantasy baseball experience but is new to Ottoneu, so be gentle with him. Per the informal poll on the Slack channel, he will have the opportunity to make adjustments to his 5MiLB roster and a round of penalty free cuts. Those actions should take place today.

  Rubber Duckies on March 9, 2021 11:10 AM

• Good 5MiLB draft everybody! See you all virtually in 9 days.
