Congrats to WAR Horse for an absolutely dominant season. You lapped the field! Thanks to everyone for a great season. Enjoy some playoff baseball (or don’t, YMMV) and get ready for arb!

It is!

Sorry, Cole ended up not lasting long. 3 huge upside arms was too good an offer at this point in a season to let sit out there.

Jonah Heim and/or Travis d'Arnaud available for a decent prospect or two. Please shoot over an offer if interested. Thanks.
-
Gerrit Cole will likely be dealt for the best offer made between now and Thursday.

Hi all, glad to be hear. Will be trying to use the remaining time of this season to quickly turn over part of the roster - so feel free to offer trades, and apologies in advance for likely a *lot* of cuts and auctions.

Hey all! Tim (Blue Lives Matter) is stepping away from Ottoneu, so he’s allowed me to replace him here before the trade deadline so the new owner can get comfortable with the squad. Welcome to Michael Dugent who is taking the team over!
-
Just a friendly reminder that the trade deadline is this coming Thursday. Get those last minute deals done!
-
Still sitting on quite a few top prospects, young MLB producers, very open to moving them for more expensive / less keepable assets who can help the next 4 months.

Ahhh, interesting. Ok, thanks.

Right - it's a money saving strategy. For example, you cut Austin Meadows at $8 on 4/9/23, leaving you with a $4 cap hit. You are able to auction him again on 5/9/23 (30 days later) for $4. If you win him at $4 you can cut him again and regain $2 of your cap space.
-
The short answer is that you get money back by winning a player that you previously cut, then cutting him again (assuming the cost was more than one dollar)

Serious question: I've noticed quite a few times this year and last year (a TON last year from memory) that a player will go up for auction, someone wins them, and then they immediately get dropped. I'm not sure if it's the same owner that does this all the time, but I'm curious as to why/the strategy behind this. It seems like all it does is waste dollars. Thanks.

Looking to trade 1B, RP, or MI for OF help. Let me know if you're interested!

No worries - fixed!

I'm a little late on this, but looking at my roster today, I have the wrong Endy Rodriguez. It should be Endy Rodriguez from PIT.

Hey folks! Just a quick reminder that this league is OPL eligible. If you finished 6th or above last season you can enter your squad to compete across all of Ottoneu in a super fun best ball format. Check out the rules & enter a squad here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/opl/
-
All right everyone - great job on the draft! Players are loaded and *should* be correct. Please double check your rosters to make sure the roster import went smoothly. We are now "in season" so cuts will incur a salary cap hit. You can now trade with a loan. Good luck all!
-
We’ve been a slow auction since inception - this league started as a port over of my home league and that’s just how we’d agreed to do it. Plus your commish is partial to slow auctions 😊 So no major reason beyond that it’s been the expectation.
-
Question, why did we not even consider a regular "fast" auction for this league?

AUCTION HAS STARTED! Head on over to https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=486 and get your nominations in. Be sure to check out the "auction help" section for a refresher on how reserve bidding works. You can set it up to email you if you get outbid on a player. We'll start at 2 nominations a team. Good luck!
-
All right everybody! Your keepers are loaded into the draft room. Everyone's roster spots and available cash line up with reality, but please do double check the players themselves. Every once in awhile there's a misalignment on player ID or the wrong Luis Garcia gets put in the wrong spot. You can also organize your roster in couchmanagers in a way that makes sense to you. We kick off tomorrow morning at 9:00am Eastern!

Hey all! I've got the auction room set up. I need everyone to join the draft so I can get everyone's current rosters loaded in before we kick things off on Monday. Please click on "Join" in the draft room located at the following links as soon as you get the chance! DRAFT: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=486

March 6 start works for me

Heh, no problem! Monday March 6th it is unless someone else has something major going on that week.
-
That's super early. If you don't mind potentially poking me for nominations I can do it. I'm certainly not 25 anymore so won't be loaded the whole time, lol.
-
Nah, that’s okay. How about the week before? How does starting on February 27th for for people?
-
I'll be in Vegas March 5-12, but I can make it work if need be.
-
I spoke too soon. Keepin' It Realmuto is going to be on a cruise ship the week of March 20 like some highfalutin' fancy pants. Are there any objections to the week of March 6th?
-
Having heard no objections, we're set to kick off the slow auction on Monday, March 20 at 10:00am on couchmanagers.com. I'll be in touch closer to that date with the draft details. Thanks all!
-
I can do March 20.

Hey all - it's time to start thinking about the slow auction draft. We usually draft toward the end of March, so I'd propose a start date of Monday, March 20th. You would need to commit to checking the draft site a few times a day during the course of that week. We usually wrap up in 4-5 days. Does anyone have an issue with a March 20 draft start date?
-
Everyone is renewed and legal. Thanks all! You’ve got 51 minutes left to cut and/or trade.
-
Hey all! Reminder that the cut deadline and league fee deadline is at 11:59pm ET. Trades can be accepted up to that point.
-
Hey all - just a friendly reminder that your league fee is due by the January 31 cut deadline. I'd appreciate everyone renewing as soon as possible. Happy trading!
-
Thanks, Ryan. I look forward to playing with you all. Looks like I'll have a busy auction.

Everyone please welcome Ismail! He's going to be taking over team Clever Team Name (which he will no doubt cleverly rename). He's been playing Ottoneu for a few years now and is on Slack at @Ismail if you're on there. Welcome sir!
-
5 days left to complete your arbitration allocations!
-
Friendly reminder that arbitration needs to be completed by Monday, November 14th!
-
Hey all! Our league champion decided to retire from fantasy baseball, so please welcome Jed to the squad. I've been playing in leagues with Jed for years now and I'm thrilled to have him on board. Welcome sir!
-
Hey folks! Just a reminder that Arbitration is open and needs to be completed by November 14th. Welcome to the offseason!
-
Congrats to Macon Bacon on a dominant run for the title! Everyone can settle back and enjoy some playoff baseball. Arbitration starts on 10/15/22.
-
Looking for prospects / recently debuted players. Will send cash to cover (and more if needed).
