I didn't realize Drew Rasmussen was so good! Basically just paid $32 for him given the other two in the trade are a statistical wash
-
My favorite day of the year. Good luck, everyone. May the fantasy baseball gods give you good fortune
-
lol
-
Checking notes . . . I recently traded away Coby Mayo (AL) and Bubba Chandler (NL), so these are my predictions for ROY.
-
If they both break camp with their teams I'm predicting now that Tirso Ornelas (NL) and Alan Roden (AL) will be the winners of the rookie of the year for their respective leagues.
-
I'm in a similar spot. My kiddo made a last minute decision to join his school talent show, which is tonight.I'll leave after he performs, which hopefully gets me home in time. I definitely appreciate the extra minutes. But start on time. I'll join when I am able.

After messaging with Piggyback earlier this week, our approach is to have nominations start at 815 EST. If it helps fingers crossed, we can hold that to 830 EST.
-
Should we reschedule? I'm happy to do tonight or any other time that works for people. Would be nice to have everyone there though
-
Gentlemen, I will most likely be late for the draft tonight. Please do not hold up proceedings - I will jump in as soon as I can.
-
Hate to be that person, but just realized I'm double booked on the 6th with a work event. If I have to miss so be it! Sorry about that.
-
Hi all! Just a reminder that the draft is coming up next Thursday March 6 at 8p EST. I am making a push on the message boards to hopefully have Wolf Pack claimed before the draft and we can be at full strength going into the season. Feel free to invite any friends as well as long as its still abandoned. Thanks!
-
Welcome, Kevin. Glad to have you
-
Welcome Kevin!
-
Hey fellas, names Kevin. Live in Portland, Or but don't hold it against me. Looking forward to learning Ottoneu this year. I'm an active owner who loves trading. That said, I have no idea about actual player values in this league and will probably take it easy on trades out of the gates. Feel free to send offers regardless. cheers

Just a little background on Hot Talent Lava roster cuts - their team was renewed on time, but just an honest mistake on overlooking the cut deadline. Don't see any harm in making a small round of cuts here that was requested earlier today.
-
Thanks to all who filled out the draft scheduling poll. Today is the last day for transactions, before rosters lock until draft day. And today is also the deadline for renewing your team, if you still need to do so.
Giving the link to the scheduling poll a bump for those that still plan to submit availability for the draft:

It looks like the evenings of March 3, 6 and 7 are the leading candidates right
-
A scheduling poll is posted below to coordinate on the draft day and time, targeting dates for the first half of March:
https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/dNXGMoKa
Responses are requested by 2/2/25, and early responses are appreciated. When filling out the poll, please enter your team name in the "Name" field. This will help follow-up if needed. Thanks! And let me know if you have any questions.
Reg. Season starts in the Tokyo Dome on 3/18
-
Hi all - spring and baseball season is getting closer by the day. Please take a look at your dashboard to confirm you've renewed your team for next season by Jan. 31. This is also the cut/keeper deadline.
-
Hey all, apologies for my inactivity this past year, was dealing with life stuff and didn't have much time to dedicate to fantasy. I'll respond to any unread messages shortly!
-
Hello Everyone - a couple of you have reached out about trades - I am currently traveling, will start reviewing when I return next week. Didn't want anyone to think I was ignoring them.
-
Glad to have you join and welcome to the league!
-
Hello everyone. Just took over Seiya. Happy to be here and happy to consider trade offers.

Arbitration results are complete and the offseason is underway through 1/31 (trades/cuts are live again). Seiya Later has requested to post their team for adoption, so I wanted to notify everyone we currently have two open teams posted.
-
A couple quick notes to share: Piggyback has been added as a co-commish going forward (thanks for volunteering). This will give us coverage to keep the league running smoothly and feel free to reach out to either of us. To find a new manager of Big Papi's team, please let me know if you have anyone interested to adopt the team. If I don't hear anything, the team will be put up for adoption on the Ottoneu Dashboard next Saturday. Take care all!
-
Hi league, wanted to say it's been a pleasure playing with all of you this season. Got way too many leagues and cannot maintain so many teams (time consuming and $$$). So we won't be renewing, enough talent to attract new owner for next year so you shoul be able able to quickly fill vacancy. have a good arb and a great future season! Thanks Commish for great work
-
Thanks guys, Ellis, great race to the end. Mathis, incredible turnaround. Special thanks goes to Blake Snell and his ridiculous second half
-
A razor thin margin between 1st and 2nd, well played by both Bandits and Ellis - Congrats on your top spots! Hope everyone is able to enjoy October playoffs (I know I am looking forward to seeing playoff Ohtani). Keep me posted if any questions or concerns on the offseason activities.
-
Congrats, Bandits! It was an exciting last couple of weeks, but it looks like you got me at the end. Well done
-
Hi everyone, just a quick note that the trade deadline is coming up in one week. Thanks to all for keeping tabs on their teams and making this a fun and competitive league. Good luck down the stretch whether you are going for the top spot or building for next season!
-
MD, to answer your questions, Dont Judge will not he able to nominate or bid on the players they cut for 30 days, just like normal. And the players that are cut should not be carrying any salary when they are back in the free agent pool, thats something I will do in the commish tools. I imagine that this will only be a few players at most, so hopefully not too tough to manage.
-
Ok. Did not realize cuts could happen mid-seaaon. Cool.
So those players will go to the waiver wire with zero salary? And don't judge will be able to bid on them within the 30-day window? Is that how it works?
-
MD, The background for this penalty free round of cuts is that don't judge. Owner took over mid-season and has not made their cuts yet. This is in the rules for owners that take over abandoned teams. So from what I remember, their roster had about 14 or so players that were acquired before they took over. If they still want to do a round of cuts, it would be limited to those players and not once they acquired after taking over.
-
Wait, we are allowing in-season penalty-free cuts?
-
I'll message you to coordinate details on the 'free cut' - Don't Judge. Everyone else, my thought is that the free cut is applicable to players that were on the roster when it was abandoned earlier in the year, and not to players that Don't Judge bought at auction. And it's gotta be done at one time.
-
Do i still get a free cut
-
For Sale - Bobby Witt Jr. Alright, many of you have reached out with offers for Bobby Witt Jr. and I have rejected all of them. Time to start the rebuild - send me your best offers this week, and we will see if we can complete something by the All Star break, which is one week away.
-
don't judge my team - great team name
-
Good luck new GHG! I have no issues with trading, appreciate the disclosure
-
meant can't imagine
-
I say welcome to the league and I guess it's not worse two best friends than two family members as for trading. I would think that you can trade, but if very uneven which I can imagine, we always have the veto option. Have fun new guy
-
Welcome to the league! And Ottoneu!
-
(3) And they also let me know they were initially confused how to do their one round of penalty cuts. So that's the reason for the drop / adds this morning.
-
(2) There is a new owner for GHG as of this morning. A family member of mine expressed interest in claiming GHG and this will be their first fantasy baseball league. So I wanted to both disclose that we have family ties, but also that they expressed a clear objective to beating me. I did say upfront that I don't plan to trade with them to avoid any impact to the league as a whole. Please feel free to post or message me directly on this if you have any concerns.
-
A few points to share on my end: (1) I would like to acknowledge Matthew Kory's time as commissioner of the league for several years. It would be great if another team owner was interested in a co-commissioner role. Please let me know.
-
Okay, thanks everyone that provided feedback. It sounds like there is consensus. I will plan to post the GHG team this evening for a new owner. If you know someone that would be interested, that is an option, feel free to message me. Otherwise, I will post it generally later today. Thanks!
-
I'm for an in-season change too
-
I am good with a replacement
-
agree
-
I’m in for that being the optimal route.
