Thanks Dukes, I am glad to have the discussion on the league channel about keep/cut protocol. I'm excited for a baseball season when it happens. Also, welcome to the new managers!

I just hope we have a season. If only the owners knew they could just play ottoneu and get a wander franco contract for $18 :) I've been watching the Ken Burn's Baseball series to fill the void I highly recommend it.

I'm gonna lawyer up.

I tend to agree, in another league I'm in I accepted a trade (5 for 1), thinking I would cut a 42$ Rendon, surprise surprise, I have to keep him. I should of declined the trade or make a counter without Rendon. Poor planning on my part but lesson learned for years to come

Good lesson for me to make sure I'm communicating when unique situations come up. Thanks to Gonny for engaging productively with me on this. There never ceases to be things to learn in Ottoneu.
-
We're going to let this trade and cut stand. However, moving forward, players received in a trade that finalizes after the keeper deadline must be kept.
-
Hey all, just wanted to clarify a situation that just came up. We had a trade that was accepted just before the keeper deadline. I received a message from one of the owners involved in the trade asking if he could cut a player he received even though the trade wouldn't finalize until after the deadline. I agreed (I'm in another league that allows this), but I didn't realize that this wasn't a common practice across Ottoneu (my bad), and there was some disagreement with how I handled it.
-
On it. Thanks for the heads up.

Commish, you might want to check on Seminole. Hasn't logged on in two weeks...
-
deGrom is available. Looking for a bat or bats. 2 hours to talk.
-
thanks

Welcome to the new manager of Blackbyrds (fka Guelph). Good to have a full league with a bit of time to spare before the deadline. Feel free to do some last-minute shopping.
-
Hey all. Hearing no desire to get a draft date on the calendar, I'm going to wait to schedule. Also, I'm currently searching for a replacement owner for Guelph. If any of you know somebody looking for a league, point them in our direction. Finally, a reminder to make all of your cuts before midnight EST on Feb 15. And if anybody knows people involved in the MLB negotiations, tell them to get a move on. I miss baseball.
-
I'd prefer to wait as well.
-
I'm ok to wait till we know more so we can try to schedule close to Opening Day.
-
Hi everybody. Normally I poll the league to set the draft date around the keeper deadline. However, the lockout makes this year a bit more challenging from a scheduling standpoint. My question to all of you: would you like to schedule the draft now, or wait a bit until we have a clearer picture about when the season will start? Chime in on the message board if you have a preference. I'm hoping to make a decision by Feb 15. In the meantime, happy trading.
-
Hey all, the owner for Blue Lives Matter had to step away from his team, and I was able to find a replacement. Let's welcome him. Also, you'll be hearing from me in the next few days about keeper deadline and draft stuff. Given the uncertainty around the lockout, I have some questions for the league.
-
Hey all, plopping this message here in hopes some more managers check in. I'm trying to stir the pot and some of you have been snoozing for 10+ days.
-
Welcome, Craictastic! Update on the keeper deadline here:

Howdy everyone. Looking forward to This season and having fun in this league. I'm open for trading so let's get it on! Not sure what meat liked or didn't like but feel free to send me offers as I work to rebalance this team. Stay positive, test negative.

Welcome to RookieMonsters, new manager for All Right Meat. Let's get that hot stove fired up. The players are locked out, but we're not :)
-
Hi All - and especially any new owners -
I'm here to advocate for not making cuts for quite some time! You'd be surprised what could happen no matter who you think you'd never keep. Happy trading!
-
Hey all, just a reminder to submit arb before the deadline on Sunday (if you haven't already). Hammer those dudes with surplus value.
-
Cheers to Gonny for not only this league, but his 2nd overall in Ottoneu Prestige!
-
Congrats Gonny. Great race all. Top three within 100 points definitely shows how exciting (and frustrating) those last days were.

Thanks Dukes and Errors. As a few of you pointed out, a ridiculously close stretch run in this league. I think any one of 5-6 teams could have won it this year. Also, what a SP run that last week.... I don't think I've ever seen that before. Thanks to everyone for staying active wire to wire.
-
Congrats to Gonny and everyone else on a good season.

Congrats to Gonny and everyone else on a good season.

Congrats to Gonny Jomes for pulling out the tight victory. It was an enjoyable stretch run. Enjoy the playoffs and I’ll see everybody back here for arbitration in a few weeks.
-
Going to be some good scoreboard watching this weekend. Best of luck to all involved in the title chase. I'm going to see if my $17 Marco Gonzales and $16 John Gant can pull me back into the race :)
-
If anybody's interested in Ottoneu fantasy basketball, I've created a league. Harmless Errors is in, and we have plenty of spots. League settings negotiable once the league is full. Sign up here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/basketball/invite?invite=eyJMZWFndWVJRCI6MzgsIkludml0ZXJJRCI6IjYxNjAwIn0= Now back to SP auction shenanigans.

142.4 points separating 1st from 5th with two weeks to go! Are you kidding me? In all seriousness, this is the best, multi-way finish I have seen in five years of playing points leagues.

Races for the money spots are 🔥 right now. Here's to an interesting stretch run!

To those keen on celebrating,
Happy Bobby Bo Retirement Day!

Hey dudes, my brothers and I write an Ottoneu strategy and tips blog. Check it out if you feel like it: https://thecanofcorn.com

Thank you for the welcome. Looking forward to being involved and getting to know all of you.

And we no longer have a vacancy. Fastest owner replacement ever - thanks Slack! Welcome to Blue Crew, new owner of Spiders.
-
Sorry to spring this on the league all of the sudden, I should’ve anticipated this really but giving up a first place team is a small but worthy price to pay to work in a front office. Thanks for a competitive and engaging league these last few seasons and best of luck to everyone!

Hey all, Spiders is going to have to leave us due to his professional responsibilities. If anybody knows an experienced owner that wants to take over a first place team, let me know. In the meantime, I'll advertise on in the community forum and on Slack.
-
Who on earth is JP Feyereisen? That’s a deep cut.
-
This is getting ridiculous. Traded for Rendon and in his first game on my roster he gets hurt and heads to the IL. Anyone want to curse your real-life team's rival? Trade me their star!
-
Crazy stuff. Tough to utilize the extra roster spots since there's very little certainty about the length of the absences, too.
-
With Bell and Gomes on the Covid list, I am up to 10 IL guys. Never seen anything like this so early in a season.
-
Happy Opening Day! Enjoy setting those lineups again, and hopefully everybody gets to watch some baseball today!
-
Excited to see everybody here in a little less than 24 hours. I'm living my best life by ducking out of work an hour early to get the draft started. Remember to do your part to keep the draft moving: have nominations ready when it's your turn in the rotation, don't make us start bidding on Trout at $1, etc. Let's get this thing started.
-
Draft tomorrow! Looking forward to it
