Alex coming out swinging with a cool 1,000 point week. 🥵
-
Congrats, everyone! And be aware that my 20 years rebuilding plan is on! 😂
-
Congratulations to all the teams that made the playoffs. To the rest: Great season, and get ‘em next year.
-
The deadline is nearing. Get those trades in!
-
Happy trade deadline day. Get those deals in!
-
So you don't have to look through my roster to see if you have interest in my players, not only do I have Betts, I have Albies, Belt, Kershaw, Rutschman, Verdugo and many more.
-
Mookie Betts is available, as is everyone else on my roster. Want to win the league this year? I have the players for you.
-
My kingdom for an outfielder or two. I'm happy to overpay for whatever outfielder you want to part with before the trade deadline.
-
I guess this is last call on Eugenio Suarez (5.7 pts/G since early June). Looking for someone cheap who I'll keep and/or cash. A $15 loan would be acceptable.

I’m ready to make some trades!
-
Just a friendly reminder that the trade deadline is this coming Thursday. Get those last minute deals done!
-
Kendall Graveman is available for $1.

Still hoping to find a taker for Pasquantino ($9). Please DM me if you would like to negotiate for him. Thanks.
-
If the asking price is $15 and you already have a $14 offer on the table with no one else biting, maybe you should just take the $14...

Asking price for Suarez is $15 or the equivalent (you get $14 (eventually) just for cutting him)

😂 It was a great article!
-
Oof, foiled again by writing about somebody before I try to sneak them through in an auction.
-
Intermittent reminder that Eugenio Suarez is back to mashing. Over 5 pts/g since the start of June. 6.6 pts/g in July alone.
-
Ok, new block, just like the old block: Eugenio, Adell, Julks, McCarthy, Soderstrom, Jon Gray, Rodon, Graveman. Could use a franchise 1B (cheap!) or young dudes. My present value, your future value.
-
There, now everybody can unclench.
-
Relax. Everything will be fine.
-
Take it, Brad. I beg you.
-
I will give you Jared Young for literally nothing from you, just to get you legal. I get my $1 back I spent on him.
-
I'll put Henry Davis up too.
-
Anyone who has ideas should feel free to approach me with them. I will continue to monitor waivers for opportunities to become compliant.
-
Bullshit. Suarez for Abreu and Keith is not "fleece."
-
And, Brad, I started an auction for Jared Young (1B, 3B, OF) that ended July 4. You could have gotten him for $1.
-
Literally, within the past 10 seconds. And you wanted to fleece me.
-
Yes :)
-
I have seven guys who have 1B eligibility, which I just discovered you mentioned in a Tweet. Have you made an offer to me for any of them?
-
Suarez, Rodon, Mullens, Adell are all available.
-
I didn't have the cash for Bell. I nominated Cano. I didn't have the money for Mounty. Nobody else is rosterable. I'm working on it. I've made fair offers to everybody who has 1B stockpiles. fwiw, Hulet never had complete rosters in FG2 so there's precedent for the all-prospect team. I think my promise to continue working on this within reason and not break the rule in future should be sufficient.
-
I agree with Chad/Niv. As the commissioner, I'll unilaterally revoke any deal from a team that does not have a legal roster (unless the team is using the trade to get legal). I think we've been great at policing ourselves, so I hope the league doesn't have to revoke a trade. Brad, I'm sure there are many teams here who'd love to deal their first basemen for one of your players. It's just one roster spot. There's no need to hold out on something so minor.
-
This tweet and the thread around it are what I am referring to, in case anyone is curious.

@camarcanov in Threads.

this is niv, feel free to post this to twitter (again) but you didn't claim or bid on two (2) 1B that we just recycled after saying on twitter that we were hoarding 1B, so yeah brad, fix this.

It's been about 3 weeks and you still don't have a 1b nor have you started any auctions for them. I can't speak for anyone else (this is Chad) but I'd vote to veto any deal you make that doesn't include a 1B and make your team legal, unless you have added a 1B first...

As predicted, Eugenio Suarez is back to mashing. Any contenders need a power jolt at 3B/UT?
-
If anyone’s opened a Threads account, please post your username here. I’m at @milehighrobert.
-
Rodon is back this week.
-
Got an interesting opening offer for Rodon. Willing to hear more but planning to keep him.
-
Eugenio for a similar quality 1B? I can probably still get away with trading Jon Gray, but the offers I've gotten seem to value him like a scrub. He's already earned $6.3 this season per the FG auction calc. Easy keeper/core performer.
-
alighty, well I've put out 5 offers for 1Bs in the last day so it should be addressed soonish.
-
I agree with Chad.
-
I think the spirit of the rule is that you should, like an MLB team, be expected to be able to field a lineup. I get some leeway to avoid forcing cuts for a short-term injury, but the 60/10 day division is an easy one to use: if you get a roster spot back, you need to use it. I also don't think it takes much micromanaging, TBH. In my other leagues, once people know the rules they just...follow them. And if someone messes up (they will) we just point it out when we notice and they fix it. -Chad

My suggestion is that any MLB or formerly MLB player of any status is an acceptable "starter." That's the minimum/simplest interpretation of the rules. We'd probably never need to think about this again.
-
Do you really want to micro-manage that though? What about guys out for the season on the 10-day? What about guys on the 60-day due to return within a week? What's the penalty? What do we do when a manager is afk for a couple weeks?
-
I’d say 15-day IL is OK, but 60 is not (especially since the 60-day gives you an additional roster opening).
-
In any case, I need for us to decide on the matter of 60-day IL guys before I can proceed.
-
I'd like for us to explore what Niv's stated. The rules aren't particularly clear on this detail. I think an obviously rebuilding club shouldn't have to concern themselves with the degree of injury to player. Especially if they are otherwise managing their roster in good faith.
