Thanks all, and welcome Antilogy! Hopefully you're not working on a 500 year plan like Joe, because we need to stop Urbina from going back to back again. Looking forward to having you in the leauge!`
-
Welcome to Joe and Antilogy. I also was not aware of Ottoneu until a few years ago and love the format. I have been in many different fantasy leagues and been commissioner myself and appreciate the great job DJIB and Urbana do in running our league.
-
Thanks for the kind words, guys. Personally, I'm just relieved to put all this drama behind us and move on with the off-season. We've got a full slate of owners again, so the next step is scheduling an auction draft. Please remember to check the message board in the coming days so you can give us your availability for potential draft dates.
-
Hello all, new guy here. Didn't know ottoneu existed until last year, where has this been all my life... First time playing 4x4, but saves and steals are dumb so it's all good. Anyway, I'm Antilogy (anTILogy), long time baseball fan with some catching up to do. Thanks for letting me join the league, looking forward to draft and trades!

Well said, JBE. Organizing a league/draft times on a global scale is such a tall order, and it comes together very smoothly. Thanks for putting the work in, Urbina and DJIB! Joe/New Teoscar will be a great addition, and I'm looking forward to moving forward!
-
In light of today's drama--it doesn't get said often enough, so thanks to Urbina and DJIB for all the work you do to keep this league running smoothly. You do a really impressive job, and I'm sure it takes a ton of effort. I'm looking forward to the auction and (hopefully!) a full 2021 season with this league!
-
Other vultures?
-
I'm going to provide some commentary here to contextualise what just happened. Teoscar was removed after he let his membership lapse and was locked out of his team. Arcia is Teoscar's father, and he believes we should have shown leniency or removed other owners rather than his son. It does not seem that this relationship is salvageable, especially after his personal attacks on other owners, so we will be moving forward without him.
-
Gents, it's been a pleasure but the decision to keep Escape Pod, who contributes nothing to the league, while kicking the real Teoscar out is honestly really poor management in my opinion. It pains me to leave but I'm sure there are other vultures out there waiting to get in.

I just can't wait till they get the NBA on this platform.
-
Hello all! Thank you for the welcome! Excited to be here and get this journey underway. Still working on the 500 year plan but I like where I'm starting from. And Dan, we can talk Javy any time.
-
Glad to see you made it in Joe! Wishing now I had kept JD Martinez to try to swap him for Javy...
-
Welcome Joe, Excited to have him. He's a great owner in the other league I am in with SGRE and TTBNL. Note to other owners. Trade him all of your Red Sox. Also, that team is not that bad in my opinion that last owner just didn't meet any pitching requirements. Could be wayyy worse lol
-
Welcome, Joe!
What's your 500 year plan for the team?
-
We've made it through another cut deadline with only one team that did not renew. Unfortunately, Teoscar did not respond to our outreach in advance of the deadline and we will be moving on under new ownership. Please welcome Joe to the league!!! We will be granting him a free round of cuts in the event that he wants to remove anyone from his team prior to the draft.
-
Thanks, everyone for a fun offseason of trades and negotiations. Please stay tuned in the next few days so that you can provide input into the date for the auction draft.
-
Actively shopping Eugenio Suarez in advance of the deadline. If you're interested, send me an offer. Looking for a low cost reliever or outfielder.
-
Officially one day out from the deadline so it's time to name names. Teoscar, renew your damn team! Escape Pod, renew your damn team! For everyone else, I wish you the best of luck with your final cut or keep decisions.
-
Just a reminder to everyone that we are now 1 week from the keeper deadline, which is also now the deadline to renew your team. For the four outstanding owners, I would recommend renewing ASAP as there is nothing to be gained from waiting until the 31st. As for the cut deadline, please consider setting yourself a calendar reminder so we don't have a repeat of the arbitration deadline.
-
Time for Nolan Reimold to make comeback
-
Don't leave DJIB hanging. He has Jose on the block.
-
Sent you a trade idea :)

Just need to get Arenado from Arcia and my all-Nolan 3B lineup will be complete.
-
I saw a good goof on the interwebs that said, "more like Robinson Cano-t play baseball." Pretty solid goof, if you ask me.
-
Thanks for working it out! And thanks to everyone for their patience.
Enjoy the offseason everyone.
-
All processed. Thank you, Gurriel. You really had me worried there. Really glad we can put this to bed and get on with the off-season fun.
-
No, not the most elegantly formatted list, but I read that message at 11:55 and... here we are...
-
Osuna
Bogaerts
Hoskins
Brian Anderson
Bo Bichette
DJ LaMahieu
-
Arenado
Brandon Lowe
Bellinger
Devers
Bieber
-
works for me...

This is a tricky situation and a real no win for everyone involved. But my first duty is to protect the health of the league, and I do acknowledge that hard deadlines during the MLB offseason can be easy to miss. I think this is the best path because it allows the offending teams to make a contribution to the arbitration process while still penalising them for missing the deadline. If anyone has any comments or issues with our decision, please feel free to speak frankly here on the messageboard.
-
For Gurriel, we will allow you to allocate the same amount as LC: $1 per team. You must submit these allocations before the end of the day today so we can put this issue to rest and move on with trading. For full transparency, please post the players you would like to allocate your dollars to on the message board, and I will use the commissioner tools to adjust their salaries manually. If you don't get the nominations in before midnight eastern tonight, you lose the opportunity.
-
Instead, here is the path we have settled on. For LC, while the rules state that his allocations should be cancelled for not using the full $25, we will allow his allocations to stand. LC, there is nothing else you need to do.
-
Please excuse the delay, everyone. As you know the time difference can make it difficult for me to coordinate with other owners efficiently. I've spoken with DJIB. The rules are clear that owners must allocate the full $25 by the deadline or have all their allocations disallowed. However, I still believe that arbitration is important for parity and the overall health of the league. Because both LC and Gurriel are experienced owners, we will not be offering them mulligans.
-
I went in to finish and was reminded that the deadline was EST, not CST...
-
Ugh yea. Sorry. My bad. Haven't really been keeping up since the season ended. Let me know what you guys end up deciding.
-
Yes, very disappointing, especially since we returned all the owners this year. I'll have to have a word with DJIB about the best way to handle this. In the meantime, everyone please proceed as you normally would at this time. I'm not going to penalise those met the deadline by delaying their off-season plans.
-
Looks like two teams didn’t allocate fully
-
📯 with the blowing of this ceremonial horn, I hereby commence the 2020 winter meetings. Happy trading everyone!
-
will do
-
Reminder that tomorrow is the last day for arbitration. Please get your allocations in no later than 11:59 PM EST on Saturday, November 14, 2020.
-
Hope everyone here is happy to hear I have officially revived my favorite off-season tradition: Getting way too excited about KBO players getting posted by their home teams. I am ready to get hurt again.
-
Reminder: The postseason is still going strong, but arbitration has started! Get your allocations in by November 14. First timers, please let Urbina or I know if you have any questions about the process.
-
And there we have it. Returning all 12 owners for the first time in this league's history. Thanks everyone. I'll check back in towards the end of arbitration to make sure everyone allocates.
-
I'll play next season...thanks
-
David Justice is Blind's trade block has changed! Not sure why the system didn't send out an update, but check it out! Willing to add a money contract! Either Eugenio Suarez or Jose Ramirez must go! Good pitching depth to deal from. Looking for outfield help.
-
1:15AM here in Ohio and Cleveland blew it. I hope a team one of you likes gets Frankie next year. Let's go Rays.
-
Okay by my count that makes 11. The only one we're waiting on is LC.
-
Congrats Urbina. Gentlemen - it's been... a season. I would be honored to lose to y'all again next year.
-
I'm in
