Trades may now commence. You'll notice you can't use the system to make trades, so you'll have to communicate with owners through DM. Once you come to an agreement on a trade, post the team names and players involved (with salary) to the league message board. League members will have 24 hours to review a trade and DM me with a veto if they choose. Trades must be completed and posted to the message board by Feb 7 at 11:59pm EST.

Dispersal draft has been completed and the rosters have been uploaded. Folks that participated in the dispersal draft: please double check your rosters to make sure I didn't make any data entry errors. DM me if you see anything out of order.
-
If you're so inclined, you can follow the dispersal draft in the Google sheet. Link is below. Everybody has edit access because I'm too lazy to do permissions, so doing go editing anything :).

Will you live stream the dispersal draft? I'm making popcorn.

Keeper deadline, now February 8 at 11:59pm EST. I just turned on penalty-free cuts for everybody, which will allow you to make *one* round of cuts. If you have cuts to make, please make them all at the same time, otherwise I will need to turn on P/F cuts for you again. Save your commish a bit of work and make sure you're solid on those cuts before making them. As a reminder, we'll also have a trade period that will last until Feb 7. I'll post more details on that after the dispersal draft.
-
Dispersal draft is officially scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday) at 9pm EST/6pm PST. Once that's finished and I get the rosters into the system, I'll send a message with instructions for the trade period.
-
I support whatever moves need to be made for the keeper and trade deadline to fill the league.
-
No objections here
-
I agree with Duke’s proposal as well
-
Agree

You may be the only international left in the league. I know Paydala did run into some hiccups for folks outside the US. I know you have to allow Paydala to access your location, but if you've already done that with no success, reach out to Niv.
-
Any other international owners having trouble with Paydala?
-
We've already committed to extending the trade deadline a week past the dispersal draft, so that's not a problem. I'm open to extending the keeper deadline to the same date. BTW, we're aiming for a Thursday night dispersal draft. If that happens, we could do a February 8 keeper and trade deadline. Any objections?
-
AD and all - Now that league is full and dispersal draft eminent, I propose that the drop deadline and trade deadline for all teams be pushed back to a few days after the dispersal draft. Given how long it took to fill the teams, the number of open teams we've had, and turnover the trading was limited to only 7 other squads. That created quite an inefficient market that we should give the league time to correct. It's just a week and will help preserve competitive balance for new and old. $.02

OK, we're full up. Welcome to the new owner of Crawfords. Folks in the dispersal draft, we need to get things scheduled. I think we shouldn't need more than an hour to conduct the dispersal draft, and I'd like to get it done soon. I'll message each of you to find a time.
-
Just a reminder, trades with the dispersal draft teams (Larry, Fairhaven, Acuna, Youngbloods) are not allowed at this time. We'll have a trade period after the dispersal draft.
-
In case anybody is interested, here's the dispersal draft pool: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AhAHLotwE8oFncivYoSMqsYvZ0pWI1luCtXxlr1mCi4/edit?usp=sharing. Lots of talent to be divided up.
-
Welcome to the new owner of Fairhaven (fka Muscoda). Also, Young Larry is stepping away from his team, so one more owner to go. I'm working hard to fill this last team and get things cemented in - I'm definitely ready to think more about baseball and less about admin stuff.
-
Happy to answer any questions you have.
-
I dm'd you. Check the message board history for a rundown, then let me know what you're thinking.
-
I’m interested in the Muscoda team. What’s the deal with a dispersal draft?
-
Also, a reminder to renew your team if you haven't already done so.
-
Also, any team not involved in the dispersal draft (all teams except Iron City, Muscoda, Acuna, and Youngbloods) needs to make their cuts by 11:59pm EST on 1/31. Players involved in any trades that finalize after 1/30 will not be eligible to be cut due to the 24 hour review period ending after the keeper deadline. Let me know if there are any questions about this. Happy last minute transaction time!
-
Hey all, a couple updates: Sounds like there may have been some miscommunication with Muscoda re: the dispersal draft, so he's going to make a decision whether to stay or go. I've learned my lesson and am going to put passwords on the teams available to claim from now on so I can screen folks. I'll keep everybody update on where things land.
-
Welcome Mudcats!
-
Hello all! Total Rebuild is now the Muscoda Mudcats. Still getting the lay of the roster and league but feel free to message or send blind offers ahead of the cut deadline.
-
Hey dudes, I told my brother we were down an owner and he claimed the Total Recall team. Let's keep this league full!
-
Fair question, lots of moving parts. Iron City, Total Rebuild, Acuna, and Youngbloods will be in the dispersal draft.
-
Confused a bit, which team will benefit from the dispersal draft?

Well, that was fun. At least we found out early that he was a dick.
-
That you guys go along with this is a joke
-
Go ahead and just cut me. Clown league
-
And that is without question the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Fantastic that the commish, and first place team, gets to watch 2nd and 3rd place picked apart.
-
Why exactly is this team subject to a dispersal draft? And what does that entail
-
Welcome to the new owner of Young Larry. Only one more team to fill then we can move on to the dispersal draft and trade period.

I like the trade period too.
-
Thanks for having me - Excited to get running with this league!

No objections from me, I like the trade period idea
-
Welcome to the new owner of Acuna, and thanks again to Jackalopes for the recruitment assist.
-
Any questions or objections to this idea?
-
Hey all, because our offseason was a bit truncated because of the turnover, I'm thinking about opening a short trade window following the dispersal draft. Rules for the trade window would go something like this: 1) Keeper deadline is still in effect for all teams not participating in the dispersal draft. 2) Teams in the dispersal draft must keep all players drafted. 3) One week period to trade. 4) No cuts allowed as a result of any trades. 5) Roster must be in compliance following any trade.
-
That would be awesome. Thanks Jackalopes. If anybody else has people they’d like to recommend, I’m all ears.
-
Hey Dukes, I have a buddy who’d like to join. Want me to DM you his user name and you can chat with him?
-
I can’t give an exact timeline on when exactly the dispersal draft will happen, but I’ll be on the recruiting trail for new owners so this can be completed ASAP. In the meantime, the rosters of those teams will stay frozen until the dispersal draft, meaning those teams likely won’t make cuts until after the keeper deadline. I’ll keep everybody posted as we move forward, but let me know if you have questions. Thanks for your support and patience. Looking forward to the season.
-
Hey all, just wanted to provide an update after an eventful few days. In addition to Rebuild and Larry, we are looking for a new owner for Acuna. He hasn’t logged in since early November and we reached out to him multiple times without a response, so we decided to move on to someone who would be more active in the league. Moving forward, we’ll do a dispersal draft with the rosters of Youngbloods and the three open teams.
-
Yeah that seemed super weird all he focused on was: well I didn’t do one and I took an 11th place team to 2nd place. Even when you said it was because it was proving hard to find an owner. “Well it shouldn’t be hard to find an owner, I took a poor team”
He just couldn’t get over it.
-
Yeah, he was really upset about the dispersal draft, but I couldn’t figure out why beyond the fact that he didn’t get to do one when he entered the league 🤷🏼♂️.
-
Well apparently that escalated quickly.
-
I'm curious - is anybody in the league also a part of the Ottoneu Slack channel? Thinking about starting a league channel, but wondering if it would be worth my time.
