Hope everybody enjoys a little downtime as we gear up for spring training getting underway. Folks who are new to the league, feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about what's coming up. I'll see everybody back here in a month for the draft.
-
A bit under two hour left to make your final cuts. I'll be locking the system promptly at midnight EST, so get those cuts in if you need to.
-
Skenes-Chourio deal has been processed.
-
As the trade window winds down, also want to remind everybody to make their final cuts by tomorrow night by 11:59pm EST. Any players left on your roster will be kept. Also, you'll notice you only have one round of cuts - please make all of your cuts at one time from the cut players screen so I don't have to reset the penalty-free cuts option.
In case you haven't already seen it, the roster organizer is your best friend: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-using-the-roster-organize

Also, everybody indicated they can make the March 9 date for the draft, so that's what we'll do. Draft time has been updated in the system. Thanks for the quick responses.
-
Tucker-Devers deal has been processed.
-
Marsh, Merrill, and Cowser available prior to the deadline

Two reminders, y'all:
1) A bit more than 24 hour remain to finalize any trades you have in the works. Trades must be posted to the message board by 11:59 EST tomorrow.
2) I think I've heard from everybody about availability for the draft, but if not, fill out that form. I'm hoping to cement in the draft date within the next 24 hours.
-
Fairhaven trades OF Kyle Tucker to Crawford for 3B Rafael Devers.
-
The three Saturday trades have been officially approved and processed. Double check your rosters and make sure I didn't mess any of those up (late night trade processing is not recommended 😂).
-
No rest for the weary (commissioner) - time to get our auction draft scheduled. If everybody could fill out the short survey at the link below, I can get our draft time scheduled. Let's get this done by the time the keeper deadline hits on the 8th. Thanks in advance for your efforts to make this admin stuff as painless as possible for me :)

I can confirm this deal.
-
Fairhaven trades SS Trea Turner ($50) and C Yainer Diaz ($6) to Cash Considerations for OF Jorge Soler ($10) and OF Lane Thomas ($6).
-
More trades coming!
-
I veto this trade on the grounds that I wanted to be part of that trade!
P.s. The veto isn't real. But the pain is.

I'm liking the trade action! These trades will stay up for league review for 24 hours, then I'll manually make the moves with my commissioner powers. If anybody has concerns/wants to veto a trade, DM me.
-
[Passan]. Confirming the Betts/Holliday trade. Solid move for both squads. Fan bases are lucky to have such dedicated owners!
-
Trade Announcement:
Fairhaven trades perennial MVP candidate OF/2B/SS Mookie Betts ($63) to California Jackalopes for the expected AL ROY and hopefully perennial MVP candidate SS Jackson Holliday ($6).
-
Confirming the trade has been accepted

Trade:
Cash Consideration receives Noelvi Marte ($5) and Ryan Mountcastle ($12) from Acuna Matata for William Contreras ($9), Jose Berrios ($4) and Ricky Tiedeman ($3)
-
Hey all, Take a look at my roster. Willing to consider offers for just about anyone! If you’re waiting for me to cut certain players, you’re right, that will probably happen. Their salary will likely go UP at draft time! Grab that player now!
-
Sorry about that!
-
The normal trade mechanism won’t work since it’s after the keeper deadline. See my message below about how to complete trades.
-
It doesn’t look to me like it’s allowing trade offers to be made right now.
-
I can’t update my Trade Block, so….
Lindor, Turner, Eloy could be had. I have RP for sale. Need a catcher? I’m your guy.
-
All cuts must be made by Feb 8. See below about making sure to cut all players at one time to minimize administrative burden for me. I'll also be reaching out to everybody in the next few days to schedule the draft. We'll aim for a weekend in late Feb or March before Opening Day on March 20. Keep an eye out for that and respond to the poll ASAP.
Thanks everybody for your patience and support as we went through some choppy waters. Excited to get back to baseball!
-
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.
