Thanks for a heck of a season everyone! The back and forth with Rebels over the last few weeks was an absolute blast. Looking forward to an active off-season and defending my title next year!

Congrats Banks! Heck of a final day! Great season everyone!

Congrats to Banks on quite a season and an impressive final day.

Give the man a break. Blame the ringworm .

Thanks for nothing, Tatis.

So says Rebels as he casually leapfrogs from 4th to 1st in a matter of a week or so... 😂

If anyone would like to place a hex on a star player for your real life team's biggest rival, go ahead and trade them to me and I have high confidence they'll get hurt within a few weeks. Between Tatis, Harper, now Wander, plus all my other random IL dudes, I seem to have some kind of special power...

Eury Perez otb. Looking for high end SP.

Given that the trade has already gone through, we will not be canceling it. Thanks to everyone for sharing your perspective.
-
Also, I personally think that even if enough people did in fact veto the trade, the trade should not be automatically be cancelled, but rather, at that point the commish should investigate and if he determines that collusion was involved, then and only then should the trade be cancelled.

..from the other half of Canuck- Just nix the trade already please. We will reach out to 14 for another offer and go from there and let's move on. A little upset that someone would cry collusion though....those are big words. Lastly, I still don't get the age/pedigree/rank deal though as everyone has their own idea of valuation, and some seem to put a very high price to a prospect who hasn't swung a bat yet in the bigs, with about a 1 in 10 chance of becoming more than an average player at best
-
I'm not saying that I suspect collusion. In fact, personally, I think the trade should go through so long as the requisite number of votes to veto are not there. I just say this because if there were owners (and I'm not one of them) who went to the commish about this, then clearly there are some who are suspecting collusion - or why go to t commish? Just making that observation is all.

I concur with dream and pooch

Just to chime in we feel similar to American Dream; although we might not totally agree with the valuations we don't think that is grounds to veto it and we are ultimately OK with the trade if both parties think its good for their team.

We couldn't get anyone to agree to anything. Just look at the trade history and see that no one was taking anything we were offering. To say that this is so one sided to the point of suspecting collusion is absurd. Go check the trade we offered you diamond and you rejected it. We made a trade that to us makes us errer long term and if you think that's collusion (even after a full day of trade offers) then so be it
-
I think the issue here is that some folks believe the return for that deal is so one-sided to the point of suspecting collusion. If enough owners believe this, then the veto system should vet that out. If the requisite number of owners do not vote to veto then the trade should go through.

P.S. if the league feels it needs to be undone, I think it needs to happen before games are played today for the sake of competitive integrity; after that it feels inappropriate to do so as traded players will have affected our season point totals. The trade itself didn’t get enough vetos, but there were abstains. If a league majority (7) voices vetos before Soto plays at 7PM eastern I have no problem reversing it; otherwise I feel it should stand.
-
My 2 cents: While I probably wouldn’t make the deal myself, I’m okay with it. My rule is that if I don’t have a reason to presume collusion, it should go. Disagreement w valuation shouldn’t be a reason to nix a trade.
-
(3/3) Polanco was better that Xander last year (total points) and given the $ difference/keeper status, Polanco > Xander. Down year for Soto, but also for O’Neill, who was OF26 last season. So a keeper OF2/3, a starting MI (Peña, upgrade Canuck’s current options), a swap for comparable keeper at SS, and a pitching upgrade, seems reasonable. It’s 2.5 keepers for 1, all who can outperform their salaries while Soto likely hits his. Not trying to raise a fuss, just some perspective from my en
-
(2/3) I’m going to mostly leave Walker/Perez out of the discussion (I think we both prefer Walker) as it’s fairly flat in terms of production, but regression likely looms for Perez. Looking at hitters Soto/Xander (12.08 PPG), Peña/Polanco/O’Neill (13.52 PPG), improvement for a team looking to fill holes in their lineup. In my opinion, Soto, Polanco, O’Neill all keepers, Xander a cut, Peña 50/50 for next season.
-
(1/3) If the league has some issues, I can see why, but being on one side of this deal I’d like to make some points. First, what does age 27 have to do with anything? Seems oddly arbitrary to point it out when most of the best hitters in the league are older than that. Add in that due to salary increases, most players aren’t owned by a team for > 2/3 years; future value in Ottoneu is more about salary than age.
-
Go ahead and cancel it, we aren't looking to make waves here so we will work something else out if possible. Don't really want to spend days justifying a trade, or their age or pedigree, when there has been some questionable moves to be honest, and let's just leave it at that.
Have a good day.
-
Canuck, I'm writing on behalf of a few different owners who have expressed concern about the deal that's currently awaiting processing. They've noted that for 2 top ~15 hitters (including Soto, who most would say is at least top-5, despite a down year), you aren't receiving a single top prospect, only 1 player under 27 years old, and no players performing close to as well as Soto or Bogaerts. This is an extremely light return. Can you please provide some insight into your process and rationale?
-
Down year for Soto but wow 😳
-
Eric Lauer OTB. Also other SP’s for some hitting.

Also open to swaps of underperformers.
-
Yeah kudos to everyone for making this such a battle! Only drawback - hard to find obvious trade partners. If anyone wants pitching and is willing to deal a hitter, let me know - all my hitters are on IL!
-
Just noticed the same thing yesterday - not exactly the safest 1st place lead. Should be a fun race!
-
The parity in this league is pretty crazy. If you browse the other points leagues the difference between 1st and last is usually 1200+. A number of leagues have 2000 point differences.

Yea saw that. Those 12 pm Monday starts will get ya! Appreciate the help

Players always lock 5 min before game. See small message right above your C slot. Been like that forever

I think the early game started at 12:05 today, rather than the typical 12:35 early slot.

any reason players locked at 12 and not 1205 for their game? i was about to come in and move them to my starting lineup and couldn't.

Lol, good thing for the 9k’s

FYI Spanky's Crew reached out after dropping Molina and let me know he had done it mistakenly. Since this is his 2nd roster/drop issue of the season, I told him that this is the last time and any future problems he'll need to live with the results. For now, Molina is back on his roster.

Sorry, yes GR is correct, the commishes don't have the ability to manipulate stats or lineups (in terms of starting vs on bench), especially for lineups in the past

Niv has updated Ramos going forward but I don’t believe I have the ability to change a past lineup as Commish (unless I’m missing it - Pandaman feel free to take a look too).
-
Not clear what's going on there. I posted on the Ottoneu message board asking Niv for an update.

Hey commish! Heliot Ramos started today and Otto isn’t recognizing it. What’s going on? I started him and it loved him because he was shown as not starting when he is

FYI for all that Spanky messaged me right after cutting Jones to let me know it was a mistake and he meant to cut Pearson so I made the change for him.
