Open to any deals before the deadline, big or small. Ideally would move a catcher or two but if not, won't be cutting guys like Perez and Realmuto.

Welcome to the league - glad to have you! Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

welcome to the league!

Hey, I have a lot of good players on the block. I think in sum they're a little pricey, makes the roster cumbersome. So if anyone would like to add a Cole or Bryant type for a cheaper, lesser player, hit me up.

Welcome !! Maybe we can connect for a trade

Hello, my name's Tyler. I just claimed dugout wizards. Hope that's ok. Reading the below post- I can abandon it if someone here had dibs. Otherwise, I gotta make some trades y'all.
Been playing some version of fantasy for about 15 years. It is my first Otto points league though.

Somebody wants the 1st place team?! Actually, I've considered making that move in the past in another league, but I didn't. There's nothing in the rules against it. One could just abandon their current team and claim a different one in the same league.

Hey Everyone - One of the current managers has expressed interest in taking over one of the opening teams. This manager has not made any transactions or moves in the past month that would create a conflict of interest. Thinking through it, I don't believe there are any issues with such a move. However, I wanted to pose this question in case anyone had any concerns. If I don't hear back by tomorrow afternoon, I will go ahead and make the change (assuming the team doesn't get claimed)
-
As of this morning, we have 9 or 12 teams renewed for next year. One team is already open - they let me know a month ago they were leaving Ottoneu. Potentially we have two more open slots. If you know of anyone interested in one of those teams, please let me know. Otherwise I have little doubt they will get filled prior to draft time.
-
Four days remain to renew your team (for the few owners who have not yet). End of day on Saturday is your deadline. After that deadline, teams not renewed will be abandoned.
-
Thanks for the reminder! I just renewed.
-
I should also mention that renewals are due at the end of the month and that date won't change. Niv did mention there could be some changes that make this season look like 2020, if necessary, regarding league execution and expenses. I'll do my best to continue providing updates. Thanks to four of our owners who have already renewed!
-
Niv just posted that he will adjust the keeper deadline by January 24th if there is no sign of a resolution to the lockout.
-
I wouldn't call it a hole either. It is exploiting a loophole and it messes with the general economics of the game. It does not happen in every league, in my other current league it stopped when one owner drafted 30 players at the end of the season just to show how it wasn't a good policy.

It is a "hole" in the official rules. Yes it is "legal" but I think it is against the spirit of the rules. I have not seen it actually happen before in a decade of playing ottoneu. I would call it poor sportsmanship.

This is a very good point – it’s a hole in the Ottoneu rules that is exploited in all 4 of the leagues I have been in and has been done in this league for the past 5 seasons. What ends up happening is after the last day, all cap penalties are dropped. If as a league, we want to make a rule against this, we certainly can. If there is interest, let me know.
-
I had a question about the end-of-season FA acquisitions, Bryzzo. Can you clarify on what is acceptable in this league? I know it varies.
"One thing I am curious about - shouldn't these last FA acquisitions still necessitate valid rosters? I understand caps and roster spots are about to become irrelevant, but these acquisitions happened in-season and should, I think, follow in-season rules. No?"
-
Arbitration has two weeks remaining. I plan to provide a couple of more reminders before the deadline on November 14th. Let me know if you have any questions.
-
Congratz Dugout Wizzards.

Congrats Dugout Wizards! Well done!

Congrats Dugout Wizards!

A big congrats to Dugout Wizzards! Winning an Ottoneu league is a tough endeavor with all of the good managers. We have arbitration starting on 10/15 and lasting a month. Everyone should plan on participating in arbitration. If you are a manager that is not planning on coming back. Please message me so I can start looking for a replacement. After arbitration, offseason trading opens up which will take us to cut day on 1/31.
-
Yes, I've had players in the lineup benched on multiple days.
-
I haven't noticed anything unusual in that department. Auto bench is moving players out of my lineup if they're not in their team's MLB lineup for that day... which is what I expect it to do. Everyone else is staying put. Are you seeing something different from that?
-
Is anyone else seeing their lineups change, such as players in a position moved to the bench? It's happening a lot and hard to play with that going on.
-
Using up those innings realllll quick though
-
Damn, great day Los Bravos De Los Unidos putting up 281.9 pts!!!
-
Let's play ball y'all!
-
Hey Everyone - Thanks for the draft tonight. Dugout Wizards was the last one left tonight but for some reason the draft shutoff. I am going to figure out how to add Edwin Rios to his team. Just an FYI in case you try to pick him up. He is on Dugout Wizards team, even if he shows as a FA. Thanks!
-
Thanks! See y’all then.
-
8:30 PM EDT. The draft date/time is posted at the top of the league page.
-
What’s the start time?
-
Just a quick reminder that we are drafting tomorrow!!
-
I set the draft date for Monday, March 22nd. That was by far the date that worked best for everyone. See everyone at the draft!
-
Thanks for all of the responses. 10 fo the 12 teams have filled out the quick survey. I will give the other two until tonight and then make a call on the draft date.
-
Hey everyone - we have a full league so let's get a draft date set. I am targeting the 10 days before the season begins. Please take a minute and complete the following poll: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/J3S7KJ9

Hey, welcome!
-
Hi everyone, new guy here, glad to join. My former owners look like they never responded to messages, we are going to change that!
-
This weekend I will get some information out on the draft. It does look like the season will be delayed by 15-30 days, so we have a little bit of time. With that being in the case, there is not a huge sense of urgency to set a date right away. Thanks!
-
Thanks to everyone who got their cuts in. Two of the owners reached out to me yesterday saying they did not wish to continue. I am looking for owners for those two teams. I already placed some messages in the Ottoneu Community. There is one other owner I am waiting to hear back from. However, if you have someone interested in any of the three teams in red in the standings, please let me know and I will get them added right away.
-
Stanton is available, will entertain any and all offers
-
Now that we have a full league I will get some ideas for draft times out next week. In the meantime, we still have 3 owners who need to renew by Sunday. Also, anyone interested in Aaron Judge, throw me an offer. All will be considered.
