After that, trades open up again :)

Reminder: Please do your arb voting by tomorrow.
-
Make sure you get your arb voting done! One week left to do it

Congratulations La Pantera!!! Taking the league by storm. And Bushrod Bombers second place, doing North Oakland proud. St. Clair Gorillas wins bronze. Great season all. Free agency is open until end of regular season, but stay legal. After that it's arbitration -- voting is mandatory! And then we get to reopen trading until the January cut deadline. For anyone cheering for an MLB team still in the hunt, good luck in October!
-
Gonna be down to the wire for the championship! I notice that the top 3 teams in season-long points are all within 100 of each other, good competition we have. Good luck all!
-
With that we are headed into the playoffs! 4 teams are playing this week and 2 teams have a bye til next week. Remember that we do *not* have 2-week championships any more. If you are not in the playoffs, stay engaged with player auctions if you can. Good luck everyone!
-
If anyone is looking for 1B, I'm looking to part with one of mine.

They need to be officially signed by teams before they are added. Once a linkable signing announcement is available, you can post it here to have them added: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/official-thread-for-fantasy-baseball-player-addition/208
-
Out of curiosity when do June MLB amateur draftees appear on the free agents list?
-
Have lots of pitching to trade - both starters (Sale, Eovaldi, Cortes) and relievers (Doval, Jansen, Romano) - not looking for anything in particular besides good values.
-
Moving on. Two days for last, best offers on Kirby.
-
J-Rod moving tomorrow. Taking last, best offers.
-
Guess we nailed down Emmanuel Rodriguez's market value
-
Reminder: We are about to kick off the draft! We will have at least a five minute grace period to start. Please message if you have any difficulties. Let's play some Ottoneu!
-
Reminder that our draft is TOMORROW at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT. If you cannot make it, please secure a proxy who can log in for you or be added to your team. I know it's tough timing for some and apologize again for that. If you have not secured a proxy, please reach out to me ASAP and I will attempt to find one for you.

27th is official. We had a lot of very busy managers this past couple months and no 100% available option ever emerged. When the 21st degraded -- a manager reached out to me to update his status, and I also got a new clash -- I tried to find something better. 27th had the most in the new poll. I don't like picking between bad options and held out the April option in hopes a longer lead would help, but no dice. Please have a proxy if you can't make it. (I'm also happy to help find one for you.)
-
Is the 27th official?
If anybody needs a proxy I know a guy who plays Ottoneu and is good at it. He might be available.

Unless I'm missing something, nobody said anything about a manager only having 3 days available? Balking listed the 3 days with the most managers available. Trying to get everyone there for the draft is something we should do everything we can to make happen, imo. There is the option of kicking off a slow draft ASAP and trying to speed through it, but I prefer live drafts
-
We're bending over backwards for the guy that has what, three days available overall and change the original date because the commish found out late he couldn't make it?
-
That's ridiculous to change the date this late. That's all.
-
Any of those three dates will work for me.
-
So March 21 no longer works for me. So the 27th will do. The 24 th is still possible

People do not seem to like the April dates, or that month is hellaciously busy. In any case, the draft is now set for the day with the fewest conflicts, 3/27. I don't like that even this leaves 3 managers out. I feel like something must be possible, but also an exigent need to set a date and stick to it. 3/21 and 3/24 were runner-ups if people have any wiggle room.
-
Well: The later dates are, I'd say, backups. We will try to find a day with 100% participation pre-Opening Day. But it's looking tough. Duly noted re: proxy if it comes to that. I'd personally have my preferences flipped from yours: I don't think it *truly* matters whether we start by Opening Day, but the draft is very exciting and also gives managers a chance to separate themselves. I've been part of a few leagues that did not start concurrent with the 'real' start and no problems.
-
Am I readying that form correctly that you're considering dates after opening day? Honestly I'd rather draft by proxy than miss the opportunity to draft before the start of the season. What about opening up additional draft times instead of days?
-
Hey all, sorry, I've not found an easier solution. Every time on the calendar had at least 2 missing owners. In the interest of finding something with better alignment, here is a new whenisgood that includes Fridays and Saturdays and goes out a little further than the existing survey. Sorry that you have to fill it in again, I couldn't figure out a way to edit the old one while keeping the same code: https://whenisgood.net/dcdp8pi
-
My availability is still the same as when I filled out the survey
-
My availability is pretty open. My whenisgood responses should still be accurate.
-
My availability can be fairly open, so happy to be flexible.

I’m out of the country until the 18th and my availability is unchanged from what I sent in earlier.

Hey all, I've had something come up on the 21st, and have also heard from two other managers unable to make that day, so I'm exploring other options. If I have to stick with the 21st and find a proxy I will, rest assured, but I want to at least check around to see if something else is possible, so watch your messages. Thanks all for bearing with it.
-
That did not age well.
-
Hey, if I'm lucky, Lux will be 2/5ths of the way toward SS eligibility before our season even starts!
-
Awesome -- thanks for managing all the logistics to get this figured out, Balking!
-
We have a draft date: March 21, 8 pm ET.
-
We have a four-way tie for draft day -- there are four different days when only one manager can't make it. I'll DM those managers to find out if any of those times are negotiable with enough advance notice.
-
Hi all, I've created a whenisgood poll to find out when we should hold our auction draft. We will get this done by Opening Day, March 28. Ideally, I would like to find a time that will work for everyone. This poll should help. Assume that any draft would be at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT. If we need to get more granular on times or open up Fridays/Saturdays, we can, but we should be able to find something here. Drafts usually take about three hours, IIRC.

Betts, Soto or Tucker must go. Maybe two of three. But it's not just them -- I'm very open to trading Happ, Arozarena, Muncy, Eloy, Bryant, Rizzo, McNeil, Snell, JorMont, Kelly. You know what it takes: I want to get cheaper and stay competitive. I can't keep them because I have too many keepable guys. But most of them will not be this cheap in the draft, when you can't count on anything, so jump in now. Wheeler, Devin for absolute prime pieces.
-
I'm interested in Rengifo.

lmk if you're interested in anyone on my team! happy to talk deals before the deadline
-
Hope we are all waking up from our baseball hibernation and ready for the keeper deadline at the end of January, a little less than a week away. You also need to pay your renewal fees ($20 for this league) by then.
This is a great time for engagement and trades -- I know that I have a lot of work cut out for me on that front and would love to be in touch!
-
I'm around to trade today.

Yes, it's January 31. It may *always* be January 31. If you're ever uncertain about these dates, you can find them by clicking on the wrench in the menu between trade and inbox and go to "Calendar & Finances."
-
What's the keeper deadline this year? Sometime towards the end of January again?
-
Reminder that there's about a week left for arb voting!
-
Hi all, arb voting is now open. Please make your vote-off selections by November 14. I will send another reminder when we are closer.
-
Thank you both. I'm glad to be our champion...it's been a wild season as always. 120+ transactions, many mistakes and much luck. Congrats to our regular-season champ La Pantera, who's let me know they'll be leaving -- so lmk if anyone has a friend they want to loop in. Thank you everyone for a collegial and competitive season. I'll be back in the offseason with more logistical check-ins, but for now, remember that you can make transactions until the end of the MLB regular season.

Three consecutive years of winning?! Congratulations, Balking Dead!!
