Sorry to lose you Chin, but a firstborn seems like a worthy excuse. Congratulations!
I second the nomination of Adam and look forward to another season of exciting Otto baseball.

Really bummed to be losing you Chin! Can't say I've been in many smoother run fantasy leagues - so kudos to you for that. Sounds like you've got plenty to keep you busy though, best of luck with the new kiddo!
I have been encouraging Adam of Saltalamacchiavelli to volunteer for the Commish role because I think he'd do a great job. Hopefully posting here will get him to commit :-)
Also, I have a lead on someone who is interested in the open team as long as no one else h

Oh, no. I’m really sorry to see you go, Philip. Congratulations on the baby, I hope everyone is happy and healthy.
We will miss you, Happy New Year and good luck to you and your family!

I will miss it, for sure. I will miss the spreadsheets, the trade negotiations, the draft, sliding into other managers’ DMs, and the stress of playing a game in a different time zone. I may well be back in the future, and will keep Ottoneu’s team vacancies bookmarked. But for now, I’m going to love you all and leave you. Let me know if you want to step into the Commissioner role and I will transfer ownership of the league to you. Philip x

Hi all. Hope you all had a Happy Holidays and 2023 is going well thus far. It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to take a break from fantasy baseball in 2023. I have recently become a father for the first time (Xander was born on 26th December, 17 days after his namesake became a Padre) and it is has dawned on me that I won’t be able to dedicate myself to fantasy baseball with the passion required in 2023.

We've got a glut at 3B and MI and are seeking OF. Happy to explore additional deals!

Congrats MD on another title ... and RoboUmps & Salty for podium finish. Even Aaron Judge couldn't reel you guys in for me :) Thanks Chin Music for dealing with all the league stuff. Enjoy playoffs everyone ...

Congrats Monroe. Enjoy the postseason everyone!

Congrats to the winners, it was a fun season.
P.S. As a Yankees fan, I’m hoping to enjoy the postseason immensely, even more so with the Red Sox not in it.

Great season everyone! Enjoy the postseason, those of you with teams still in the hunt.
Except Yankees fans, obviously.

I really enjoyed the season everyone. Thanks for competing! If any of you are interested in Ottoneu Basketball, here's a link to a league forming now. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/basketball/invite?invite=eyJMZWFndWVJRCI6NDcsIkludml0ZXJJRCI6IjIxMjg3NCJ9

Looking to deal Hoskins or Abreu ahead of the deadline. We’re looking towards next year, so prefer young, affordable talent or injured players who won’t be contributing in the stretch run.
-
Thanks commish. I've already accidentally dropped a player so no problem here.
Also in looking for a catcher, infielders or pitching ahead of the deadline.
-
No worries, @Blue Sox. I've cancelled the trade.

We're looking to swap a SP for a hitter. Let us know if you're interested.
-
Following up on our previous message...we've got depth at MI, 3B, and 1B and are primarily seeking outfielders. Let us know if you're open to dealing!
-
With recent transactions, we've got solid depth at MI and 1B. Let us know if you're interested in talking trade.
-
After trading Lux, a name change was in order. Sorry that it took so long.
-
We’re looking for SP and OF, and are willing to discuss one of our 3B (Rendon or Bohm). Drop us a line if you’re interested in talking trade!

Noticed you cut Urchidy & was wondering if someone would pick him up and name their team UUBB :) Should be a rule that you have to have the player that team name references. Like the new name .. Cey la Vie :)

Since we've cut Urquidy, UUBB has rebranded as Saltalamacchiavelli. Since Salty's retired it should stick around for a while, and got to make a philosophy reference if we can.

Just a gentle reminder that the draft takes place later today - at 4pm EDT, 9pm GMT. OYY is hoping to join us :)

Unfortunately I may struggle to make the draft now - Mothers Day and all that. Will try but just a heads up.
-
Thanks for the Mother's Day reminder!
-
Thanks everyone for accommodating the draft date and time. I know it's not ideal for a few of us, so I appreciate everyone doing their best to make it work. I, for example, didn't realise 27th March is Mother's Day in the UK. But it's ok, mum's happy to meet for lunch that day rather than dinner. All good. Anyway, happy draft prepping to you all and see you on the 27th!

I would have preferred a little earlier but I can make it work!

The draft date works for me! Thanks Chin Music for running the league and I'm looking forward to the draft and season!

Will be there with my $25 for 10 roster spots. I am going to start with Trout at $16 and hope everyone else's wifi is slow :). Thx chin music for running things.

Not ideal, but we can make it work. Thanks as always commish!

March 27th at 4pm ET works for me - unfortunately I can't do it any earlier that day.

That date works for me. An earlier start time that afternoon would be even better. I have another draft later that same evening.
-
Well, very happily, it looks like we'll have some baseball sooner than I was pessimistically expecting. Great news! Is everyone OK with drafting on Sunday 27th March as provisionally planned? Clocks change in the US on March 13th, in the UK on March 27th, so a 4pm EDT start will mean a 9pm start for those of us in the GMT timezone. I'm hoping that we can all work with that?

Looks like we have a new owner for Hammerin' Hanks. Welcome, JAW31601!

Thanks all for your thoughts. I've pushed the draft back by a couple of weeks initially but we can firm up a date when Opening Day has been announced. In other news, Steve has passed on taking re-ownership of Hammerin' Hanks so I'll put a post on Managers Wanted.

Agreed on postponing until all teams have owners.

It's a pain, but I agree with postponing, At least until all teams are filled and/or we have a date for Opening Day
-
I think postponement makes sense, as irritating as that might be.
-
Given that we still don't have Hanks filled, seems like postponing a bit is the right call? That's what most leagues are doing regardless and it gives us time to find the right replacement owner.
-
I'm happy to postpone the draft until the weekend of 26th/27th March if there's general agreement? And if the owners and MLBPA are still at loggerheads at that point then we can take another decision then.

Are we proceeding with the draft as scheduled, or should we postpone until the start of the season is more certain?
-
I've approached the old owner of the team (Steve, who founded this Masters of WAR league) to see whether he wants back in. If he passes then I'll post on Managers Needed.
