League Message Board

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.

*competition for the league. (Sorry, typos)
-
Hi all, as we go into June, it looks like Gas House Gorillas is inactive since April 7. While I have messaged directly, mostly out of desire to identify Matt's preference on what he wants to do with the team this season, it seems like we are not going to hear anything. What do others think about having a new owner take on the team during the season? Joining now would allow a rebuild to get a headstart and improve the overall competitij for the leafue, in my opinion.
-
Would love to trade for a high quality OF. Could move Caminero and Basallo if any sellers are interested.

Alright folks I have an absolutely exquisite pitching staff and one of the shallowest lineups man has ever seen -- make me some hitting-for-pitching offers, if anyone wants to kick off trade season nice and early
-
Looks like GHG signed in on Saturday, hoping to hear back from recent message.
-
Any update from GHG?
-
All, just an update that I haven't heard from Matt yet, but I did reach out with a direct email. Thanks for the shared concern.
-
Oh, I hope GHG is ok. Mathis, have you heard anything?
-
Anyone know what is going on with Gas House Gorillas? He checked in on the 13th, but missed the draft and only has 12 players rostered
-
A quick league update, the auction is complete. Roster drops, trades and auctions can now be started as normal during the season. Feel free to reach out if any questions or concerns come up! Play ball!
-
Gotcha, gotcha... processed after the cut deadline. I wasn't processing that lol
-
Trade wait is 24 hours. That trade would have been accepted 1:30 pm, Jan 31
-
Pretty sure it was a trade agreed to before the keeper deadline, but processed on 2/1 after the obligatory processing period.
Trades have always been allowed through the keeper deadline (end of 1/31).

Is that specific to this league? I don't recall that being the case in any other Ottoneu league.
-
You can make trades in the offseason, you just can't start auctions
-
What is that transaction that went down on Feb 1? I thought rosters were locked.
-
Thanks for all the feedback received to schedule the auction draft. We converged on a single time that works best: Sunday, March 17 at 3p. Feel free to contact me and GHG with any questions or concerns in the meantime!
-
I can make any date and time work for me that's good for the group
-
Oh, and also please keep in mind your time zone when viewing the poll. Doodle shows the time zone in use on the response page, and this can be changed to be consistent with your time zone when responding. I believe this poll is set to show Eastern time as the default.
