Sadly, we probably gave up the better Jake. We're not that good at this.

A deal of "jakes"

Hello all, we're getting a ton of interest in one particular player that we weren't necessarily thinking about moving with multiple offers coming in and a few still outstanding. We'll action some items related to this player later as I am at the airport getting ready to take a questionable trip and the co-owner has dial-up internet (think he has Prodigy, believe it or not) that makes checking Ottoneu very unreliable.
-
I'm not a native Floridian, but I do live in Florida now. We're not actually sure if someone who lives in Florida or in the land of the Kiwis (the co-owner is there) is more feral. I lean the latter as I found out the other day that you absolutely have to service your own pool down there, but I am also biased.
-
The more feral one of us is
-
Tallahassee? Hey, do I have a fellow Floridian?

Thank you very much!
-
Welcome to the league!

Hello everyone! I just claimed Bongo Larry and look forward to playing with you all. I am an Ottoneu veteran who was looking for a fun league to be in. I am going to take a little time to look over the team, make a new team name, wait for my co-owner, and offer our some trade offers. Have a good day, everybody!
-
Wow, hell of a season to go out on!
-
Bongo abandoned. What a mic drop.

Sorry i just reread the rules ("Players who have played in at least one MLB regular season game in the past 2 MLB seasons will have their salary increase by $2")... i thought it was just if they had played an MLB game in the ONE previous season... all good
-
All those guys played MLB games at some point. That’s the determining factor I believe

Same for Dustin May, Liam Hendriks, and Sandy Alcantara... they also all jumped by $2 in salary despite not playing at the MLB level at all in 2024
-
Also, happy first day of Arbitration everyone! You last chance of the season to disappoint your leaguemates lol!!!
-
Why did Endy Rodriguez jump from $1 to $3? He didn't play at the MLB level at all... shouldn't he have only gone up by a dollar?
-
Does anyone play in a 5x5 roto classic version of one of the leagues that I could join? Same dynasty format

Helluva battle for 3rd fellas…great season! Commish…so nice to see you in 5th place. 😂
-
Congrats Bongo! You held me off 2 years in a row. I need to do more research and get better next year! Looking forward to next year already. Now go Brewers in the playoffs!!!
-
Good fight, Springfield. Should be a feisty league again next year.

Good season to everyone else too!

DANG! Good finish 台北土狗, you're gonna hold me off for the last money spot!

Had to cut Amed Rosario before he got his roster bonus. Man the Pirates did Rowdy dirty!

My sprint to the title begins today!

Hi All: If you have any interest in playing Ottoneu Fantasy Basketball, a team just opened up in my league. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/basketball/20/team/68

Yeah, i didn't expect it to be 100%, but i didn't expect it to be under 60%. I also have zero concept of the costs/staffing needed to maintain a billion leagues lol... i get it, but i was just surprised.
-
There was some discussion about it a couple years ago and Niv was very transparent about the costs to run the sites. I believe the higher-dollar leagues pay out a higher percentage.

That’s kinda crazy that a $50/ea league (which collects $600 from 12 teams) only pays out $350??
-
Giving up HRs like Berrios kills you in this scoring system
-
FWIW - 3.44/ 1.12/ 16/ 143 - This is Jose Berrios Roto stat line - To say this points system is different from traditional fantasy baseball is an understatement ...

What’s the payout structure in this league anyways? I can’t seem to find it
-
Won't be able to hang on to 3rd place anymore without my pitching (poor planning on my part), GL to all
-
Pure domination at this point.
-
Shame the global leaderboard is gone. Larry has to be up there.

I was shocked Eloy only had a single bid for $2 against him
-
I was confused by Eloy as well
-
Can't have one without the other. Its either a cap hit and half min bid or zero.

That is correct, no charge to the new owner. But the min. bid for others in the league, if re-auctioned, would not be $0, correct? Wouldn't it be half of the previous salary or the full salary if claimed off waivers?
-
Yep that's it. Niv confirmed, new owners get free cuts.

I _think_ it’s because he was a “Free cut” that a new owner performs after taking over a team.
-
That doesn't see right. Let me ping Niv.

Should Eloy have had a minimum bid?

Welcome! You can not add to your 5 man MiLB. You can add to your 40 man all you like with prospects.

Thanks for that overview. One follow up. When you say “ Thanks for that overview. One follow up. When you say “ You CANNOT add players to your MiLB roster in-season.“, do you mean I can’t add any players to this additional 5 man roster or that I can’t add ANY MiLB players to my 40 man at all? I can start auctions now for unrestricted players so I’m confused as to how you would enforce the latter. Thanks
This team is in bad shape so I need to rebuild.
-
Quick overview of the rules for those MiLB rosters: 1) We draft them immediately following the auction in the spring. 2) When one of your guys is called up, he must be added to your Otto roster or cut. 3) You CAN trade those players to other owners. 4) You CAN acquire more than 5 MiLB guys in-season via trade, but can't go into the next season with more than 5. 5) You CANNOT add players to your MiLB roster in-season.

Welcome to the league. Many top prospects are restricted in this league because we have an additional 5 MiLB roster that's not shown on your Ottoneu roster page. So that means they are technically owned and the commish has set them as restricted. You can see those MiLB rosters here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GGsAI0WRlJS1clseIV7VNnJ3gwR6GDxucSs6CkEBT30/edit?usp=sharing

Hi. I took over the Spider Crabs team. Glad to join the league! Quick question: what is the reasoning of who joins the restricted players list and who doesn't? When are they released? For example, why are the 2024 top draft picks not restricted (Condon, Bazzana, etc) but so many top prospects are restricted?
-
Spider crabs responded via email and asked to abandon his team.
