"Trades will be allowed during the offseason from when arbitration voting is completed (Nov 15) until the keeper deadline (Feb 15)."
Correction to my previous post: Keeper deadline (aka cut deadline) is Feb 15.
-
Here's a link to an Ottoneu Community thread on key dates over the next few days: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/end-of-the-2022-baseball-season-megathread/12158.
Other than BallsDeep needing to make 1 cut, no teams will HAVE to make any cuts until the cut deadline at end of January.
Arbitration officially begins Oct. 15. So be ready to allocate those funds to the opposing teams!
-
Reminder: The deadline to start end-of-season auctions is 11:59 p.m. eastern time tonight. Rosters will lock on Oct. 6.
-
Reminder: Teams must get their cap status to legal by the end of the regular MLB season. So you need to be below your team’s -current- cap (which may be higher or lower than the $400 original cap) AND you need to ensure you have below the proper number of players.
Rules cover this in section I.b, I.c, and V.h

All that business clarified and out of the way, what an awesome season we had. I know that I had frequent contact with almost every team trying to wheel and deal throughout the season. It ended with a blistering hot run by Balls Deep to win the 'ship. Congrats to him on the trophy, and congrats to Lightsaber on being a 6 seed runner up. Keep an eye on auctions and cuts that you might want to scoop up until MLB season ends. Then we just sit and wait until October arbitration! (more on that later)
-
Final Commish Note For Now: So while you can make cuts legally now, you're likely just helping other teams get discounts on guys now (vs. them costing their "true value" at auction next year) to very little benefit for your own team. No new auction can be started from MLB last regular season day (technically two days before) to our auction in late March. So that's when you likely want to make cuts and not give discounts to other teams. THAT SAID, it's your team. If you wanna cut now, y

Commish: Just to clarify, salaries and cap "still matter" until end of regular MLB season. But between MLB season and February 15th, no auctions can be started for free agent players. So between those dates is when you want to cut your players. Then, by 2/15, you have to get your salary legal for the cap reset to $400. So by 2/15 everyone will make cuts to get their rosters below 40 men and $400. There is arbitration in late Oct/early Nov, but beyond that fun wrinkle, I'd save cuts for

Commish Note: Hey all. Just a reminder that there’s not much reason to be cutting guys right now. I know that some auctions are going but right now cutting guys just makes it possible for someone else to get guys cheaper now vs at auction next year (and salary cap won’t matter until the cut deadline around Jan 31). So I’d reconsider making a bunch of cuts right now because you’ll have most off-season before you have to make those cut decisions. If you have Qs about the process, please post here.

Thanks guys! Good match Saber. Built a contender at a price(but it paid off), which I needed, with having to beat the next best score each week to capture the banner. Great season from start to finish and such an active league! Now to figure out this roster for next year....
-
Very fun season, already looking forward to the next one!
-
Greener pulls it off Congrats! Looking forward to next season. Let’s go Fins 3-0 Ooops wrong sport
-
Congratulations guys, a hard fought season all around
-
Congratulations to newcomer Balls Deep! What an awesome run in the playoffs and great regular season. Also, congrats to lightsaber who got hot and made it all the way to the finals! It was another great season in Erebor, season 2 was yet again a great one with all teams active and competitive. Already looking forward to the off season. Cheers guys and go Jays go!!!
-
Confirmed he’s good to go. Cuts are valid. Let’s hope for a good finish this week between Lightsaber and Balls Deep. We crown our 2nd victor this time next week!
-
Commish Note: Hey all. Just a heads up that I’m clarifying with Ohtani if he understood the cap/penalty rules for the off-season before making these cuts. So make claims if desired but understand that I may be readding those players tomorrow if it’s a rules misunderstanding—doing so fully in the interest of league fairness for everyone…despite how doing so would hurt my odds at 3rd. :D …I will update once I have talked with him.
-
Well 3 of us are competitive with each other this week! Unfortunately….
-
Good luck to all playoff teams. It’s a long season and now we are down to our last three weeks!
-
Good luck everyone.
-
What another great year in Erebor! Sad my season has come to an end so early again this year but best of luck to all competing in the playoffs! Should be competitive and exciting! 🍻
-
Burnes OTB looking for OF in comparison
-
Still half.
-
You’re right, all fixed this morning thanks.
Another question, if we drop a player now do we get full salary worth back to our cap space? Or will we only get half that.
-
Yeah I think it’ll automatically fix by tomorrow but if not, message me and I can go find out from Niv.
-
That's a mistake and that's a good question to ask Niv on the message board. He should fix that up.
-
Anyone know what happens if a starter was scheduled then didn’t end up starting or throwing a pitch? McClanahan had the green check mark for today and didn’t end up pitching but team was charged a pitching start…
-
Harris is also available. The price is multiple affordable players. He probably won’t become available again, this is a moment of temporary insanity

Looking to pick up one more reliable sp before the deadline, let me know what it takes

Anyone in this league that might be interested in Yahoo ff auction league 75$ entry? Looking for 2 or 3 guys to round out a 12 team league

If anyone has a solid outfielder to move message me
-
Ok you win :). Just a brutal thing to see
-
Greener wins
-
0.1 of an inning hahaha
-
That's what I had for Hader..-50.43...aftr just trading for him..lol
-
Seth Lugo put up a negative 50ish a couple years ago during the ottoneu H2H playoffs. My opponent had him. Im pretty sure I still lost the matchup. Lol.
-
Dude look back a few posts...lol
-
Negative 38 points in an inning, that’s gotta be a record
-
Yeah between your total points and some savvy pickups, next year looks pretty bright for you.
-
Didn’t realize this until now but I’ve picked up Miguel Vargas, Luis Garcia, George Kirby and Daniel Espino all off of waivers this year. I guess there is some benefit for having your team stink to high Heaven.
-
Gotcha thanks, my apologies it wasn’t within a minute but the day after, I misread the claim but this clairifies things.
-
Worth noting waiver claims can be seen in the baseball tab under Waiver Claims. You can see how has claimed people. Luis Garcia, for example, was claimed by John Jay and Swamp. John Jay got him because Swamp had a better record.
-
Yeah this is in rules V.e and V.f for reference/more detail.
Dropped players go to waivers for 24 hours for full price. Anyone who didn’t drop him can claim him.
Lowest standing team wins claim (if multiple claims).
If no one claims him, then he can be reauctioned for half his price (rounded up). And a reminder to all that you can reauction (and recut) your own guys after 30 days. That can help reduce the cap penalty of guys you cut a while ago.
-
Had Dominguez on the watchlist but was scooped up within a minute if a player is dropped to waivers can you pick him up at that price right away?
-
Trading
-
Just when I was starting to regret reading him off
-
I think Robbie Ray is fuckn hammered
-
It appears that it’s not something I can change from the commish tools. Must be set by ottoneu.
-
Just wondering if there is anyway to change that rule for the future season. Two week games really benefit strong Hitting teams as opposed to Pitching focused teams. - yes I know good teams should be balanced but we all can't be Authurian :) -

14 weeks down. 6 to go! Remember that this week and next week are a combined matchup. So you still only get 9 GS over these two (1.5?) weeks coming up. Good luck to everyone in the final 6 weeks of regular season!
