Of course, there are interesting players but the top talent seems really sparse.
-
Interesting analysis. The pool seems really shallow this year and your stat might explain why. I can't recall past years well, but there don't seem to be many guys who even will eclipse $40 outside of Scherzer. After Scherzer, Bregman and Lindor it's pretty meh...
-
Out of curiosity I was taking a look, and this auction is gonna be a bit different than the past couple at least.
2021: 173 players bought at auction for $1,083
2022: 158 players bought at auction for $1,063
2023: After the cut deadline, we collectively have $769 in cap space for 147 or 148 (I can't remember how it works with a suspended player going into auction) open roster spots.
Should be interesting.

Can't imagine what his inbox must look like right now haha. I got like 50 emails today and I'm only in 2 leagues.
-
Papi's got like 120 teams, has already paid up, and has been online today. I'm sure he'll come through.
-
Hope those Big Papi Memories turn into some Big Papi Realities sometime in the next hour and 17m. LOL
-
Looks like everyone has renewed. Thank you all for making this such a stressless renewal deadline. Don't forget to make your final cuts by midnight Eastern time Tuesday. Once we're over that hurdle, we'll start gathering your availability so we can set an auction date.
-
We're down to two managers who need to renew with five days left. Thank you everyone who's re-upped their team for next season. For the owners who haven't renewed, you can find the "Extend your dynasty" option on the right side of the main dashboard page: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/userdashboard
-
Reminder that the cut deadline is fast approaching at midnight EST on January 31. Make sure to accept all your trades and complete cuts prior to that date and time. Trades accepted on deadline day will still process. Additionally, and more importantly, owners need to pay their league dues prior to January 31 as well. Please take a second and renew your team for 2023 or else the system will lock you out on February 1.

Just shaking things up on a Friday morning!

Talk about a blockbuster!

Never forget the Brayan Bello auction. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/118/auctionresults?id=730612

Aiming to really jostle AHWT and GoLaS for a solid 4th or 5th place finish this season. Taking a page out of the Francona/Hyde books and moving a last-place team to fringe relevance is my dream.

Sorry about that flurry, had some offers on the table and was waiting to hear back from GoLaS.
-
Thanks, happy to join
-
Welcome Serge! Great time to jump into ownership. Looking forward to a flurry of trades over the coming days.
-
Welcome, Serge!

Welcome Serge! Glad to have you. Love trading as well. Where "up north" are you from?
-
Hi guys, I'm Serge from up north. Got some experience with Ottoneu, a baseball nut and I'm happy to join your league. Feel free to send offers, I like the action.

I've asked Ephs to put in some preliminary arbitration allocations while DJIB and I work on sourcing a replacement. I've got a couple leads from the last time we needed a replacement owner, but if anyone has someone they'd like to recommend, please do reach out. I'll make a final announcement once the new owner is onboarded.
-
Update: Ephs has decided he doesn't have the free time anymore to give this league his full attention, so he'll be stepping away after 5 years. Cole first came on board as a replacement owner in the 2017 offseason and put together some strong competitors in the 2020-21 seasons. Please join me in wishing him well!
-
Thanks to everyone who has allocated their arbitration dollars so far. I take this as a sign of intent to return for 2023, but if anyone is thinking of leaving, please let me know ASAP so we can get someone new in before arbitration ends. The last outstanding owner is Ephs, so I will reachout over email and see where he's at. Expect an update soon, and then we're on to what should be a very interesting and active off season!
-
Hey everyone, the postseason is still going strong, but arbitration has started so make sure you log into Ottoneu between now and November 14 to allocate your arbitration dollars! Teams that fail to allocate at least $1 to each team will have all there allocations voided. Eight of twelve teams have already completed their allocations so we're off to a great start!
-
Dang, tough week to be one of the greatest relievers of all time.
-
Reposting for visibility:
Ephs, I need you to cut one guy to get your roster legal. Looks like you're actually two roster spots over the limit now, but one of those is because Tylor McGill has reinstated from the Covid IL to be added to the wild card roster today. Considering this happened after the regular season finished, I'm happy to let that one slide and say you only need to cut one guy to get right.
-
Yearly subscription. It's given me access to playoff games for 8 years, until now. The package I bought even specifically said postseason was included in the Ts & Cs, but that was changed yesterday to rescind access.
-
Is it a separate package or part of the yearly MLBTV? Either way, shit move.
-
I already contacted MLB fan support on Twitter and I'm getting my subscription refunded. Still very disgruntled though. The audacity to talk about growing the sport internationally and then pull underhanded shit like this.
-
Just found on Twitter that this new international blackout policy was only implemented in the last 48 hours. This guy has screenshots of the policy at the time of purchase vs now: https://twitter.com/baseballbrit/status/1578108745569439744?s=46&t=gmKCDLirwbBZWXFGeLxMYA

For anyone who watched the Guardians/Rays series, however, wow, what a show by Shane and Jose and Shane and Jose.
-
Agreed on both parts. I did bid $99 on SWR because I didn't think there was a downside, but it makes sense.
Death to MLB broadcast agreements. And I hope we don't have any cardinals fans on here, that was rough.
-
I can't find anything in the rules which mentions it specifically, but my thought is that if we don't require teams to make their rosters legal at the end of the season, then there would be no way to guarantee the integrity of end-of-season auctions. Someone could just bid $1000 on every auction to block anyone else from winning.
PS I've just woken up to learn that MLB has blacked out the ENTIRE FUCKING POSTSEASON in Australia. Looks like I'm back to pirating streams.
-
Sorry, didn't realize we needed valid rosters going into the offseason.
-
A couple things before the off-season:
1. We've got 3 illegal rosters that need to be sorted before arbitration begins. DJIB & Ephs each need to cut one guy, and AHWT is $2 over the cap. Please rectify ASAP or I will void your most recent transaction to get your roster legal again.
2. I'd also like to get commitments for 2023. You aren't required to pay until January, but if anyone is thinking of leaving, it would be nice to know now so we can get a new owner in
-
Congrats, DJIB! Awesome season! And thanks, Guy. I tried. Excited to have another go at it next season.
-
Congrats to DJIB (as well as to Bellhorn for the chase and runner-up finish). I'm very excited to build for next season.
-
Congratulations DJIB. Looking forward to watching playoffs and planning for offseason.
-
Congrats DJIB! We’ll played. The early season trades really paid of!
-
Thanks guys, the team tried as hard as we could to blow it by dropping 10 points in the final month but we pulled it out. Thanks to everyone for being so engaged this year, I think this is the most complete and responsive group of owners we've ever had.
-
So does DJiB take the OPL challenge now???
-
Congratulations to DJIB on a resounding victory! It was neck and neck at the All Star break, but with some aggressive and expertly executed strategy, he left us all in the dust. If only 5 Tooler could see you now!
-
One of my absolute favorite pizza places is Massey's Pizza :o)
-
I’ll bid though F it
-
Damn. Drew Jones. ETA 2028.
-
Not only that, now he's tied for the league lead in ERA and WHIP!
(min 2 IP)
-
@Just A Guy Frieri -- lost in the mix of actual moves today was Cleveland trading Sandy Leon for an actual baseball player. Not cash considerations or a PTBNL. A living, breathing, named human being.
-
I could've sworn I put a waiver claim in for Beeks. Glad to see competition didn't increase.
-
Too easy!
