League Message Board
-
I want to thank the league for voicing their concerns about the recent trade in a cordial manner. I know one's take on fairness can be subjective, especially when dynasty outlooks for young players are involved. I think it is fair to say most of the concern was directed at the large loan associated with the transaction. I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Good luck the rest of the way!
-
vlad?
-
Well, in other news, I need a 3B if anyone is dealing one.
-
Have no issues with this being vetoed since that’s everyone’s right but in a dynasty league I’m giving up 4 players in above market contracts who likely wouldn’t make sense to resign given their values for 4 players in their early 20s in below market contracts. If we just made 4 separate trades, it would be no different than the manny machado trade.
-
Regardless, no hard feelings here.
-
Morning, all. Not looking to destroy the integrity of the league, and so my response here isn’t intended to serve as a defense, persuade, or foster a raging message board. For simple and quick context, it is important to share the trade was made in good faith. I don’t want to speak for WIP, as I don’t know his rationale, but I did not solicit the offer, nor had I made any recent offer to him prior to, despite all three of the hitters being on his trade block and open for business.
-
I just reviewed the trade and cast a veto vote. I assume many others have as well. This trade by any objective standard is lopsided to the point it threatens the league’s integrity.
If the parties to this trade wish to post in defense of the trade on this board or directly to me, please do so. As of right now this transaction remains under scrutiny.

Commish?
-
a $130 dollar loan.....seriously
-
Veto!
-
this hurts to even type out, because I am insanely against vetos. but this latest trade should not go through.
-
Uhhhh…. That’s wild
-
and the BS trades continue!
-
and here we go....let the $#@%@ trades begin
-
Ohtani's Bookie has no one in his lineup ?????

great, thanks for following up on it!

**GERRIT COLE DROP- Niv Shah is working on correcting the issue with the Cole drop. It appears the penalty free cut glitched and allowed WIP to cut Cole without the cap penalty. Be on the lookout for the correction
Here is the response from Niv:
"Since the cut happened on 3/9, the waiver claim period has already passed. I can remove Cole from his current team and make him a FA again and re-instate the cap penalty / min bid of $10. I will do that shortly."
-
I have contacted the administrator about the Cole cut. I have no idea how the cap penalty and claim period failed to initiate. I will revert back when I get an answer.
-
We get to the same result likely (Although there is some risk WIP doesn't get his money back and Cole sits at $10 for the max 30 days before WIP renominates in a worse case scenario).
-
So probably going to come off as a stickler but why was Cole allowed to be released without waivers running and the owner getting his full money back? Assume "WIP" didn't know about Cole's TJ but bid 20 by accident, similar scenarios have happened before. The resolution should be WIP cuts Cole, Cole is then put on waivers for 20 dollars and then if no one picks him up then he can be auctioned at $10. My issue is really with the price setting mechanism by the league, Cole probably gets

any one else having problems entering the draft?

I am having trouble accessing the auction

March 9th - 6pm ET draft date appears set with no conflicts. Mark it down in your calendar, as we need all 12 managers live in the draft room. Draft date should appear on the home page with the time adjusted for your time zone. We should have final cuts in by tomorrow with the full draft pool available to study by Thursday. Looking forward to getting the season started!
-
I thought i posted this already but i don't see it on the board, but i'm available:
Monday - Thursday 8pm (ET) or later
3/7, 3/8, 3/9, 3/15, 3/16 7pm (ET) or later.
I can probably be free some other times as necessary but evenings generally work best.
-
I am available anytime on the 9th. Matt, this includes your suggested 6pm time on 3/9. I don’t want o move the date unless we absolutely need to.
-
It looks like we have someone with a conflict at all hours of the day March 9th. Please message me directly or on the general board the dates and times that work for you. Opening Day is March 18th. March 17th will be the latest opportunity to conduct the draft.
An additional reminder to the new managers to make cuts by Wednesday before rosters lock. Make sure you utilize the "Roster Cuts" tab on your team page and select all the players you wish to cut so it is compl

My Daughters bday party is from 4-6pm on the 9th. Can do before or after.
-
4pm works for me
-
I would need it to be at or after 4pm ET. Traveling that morning
-
We officially have a full set of managers for 2025. New Managers (Kenny Powers, Freeport, Work In Progress) please make your penalty free roster cuts by Wed Feb 26th.
Everyone seems to be ok with the March 9th draft date, but the time needs to be adjusted to earlier in the day. How does 1pm ET work for everyone?
-
At the moment, we just need a manager for Kenny Powers. Once that team secures a manager we can pin down the exact draft time.
-
An earlier start time works for us, too

Fine with me, too.
-
Ok here.
-
That works for me
-
any way we can start an hour or two earlier on the 9th...I have another draft at 9pm that day.
-
Based on the initial response to a draft date I have tentatively set March 9th 7:00pm ET. We still need two managers to fill out the league.
-
Both dates work for me. Preferably in the evening
-
9th after 3pm eastern works for me.
-
The 9th will work for me as well. Like others, the 16th would be problematic.
-
9th should be ok for me
-
The 9th works. 16th doesn’t work on our end.

The 9th works. The 16th does not for me
-
We have two teams on the claim list that need new owners (Kenny Powers and Work In Progress). In the meantime let's discuss dates to conduct this year's draft. Sunday has usually been a day of the week we have had the draft. I'll start with proposing March 9th or March 16th as a possible target.
-
I would say we go ahead and post in the manager's wanted thread. I feel like everyone has had enough time to ask around at this point.
-
It looks like we have three teams to fill. Bartolo's Cologne has located a manager for the Freeport Fireballers. I will hold off posting the remaining abandoned teams to the boards until Saturday in case others have friends or family interested in the other teams.
-
I'm also going to drop this year. Please continue to send me trade requests; I will be just as likely to respond now as I was previously.
-
Correction-Turner's Fairly Odd Parents has also renewed for 2025
-
With cuts/renewal due on the 31st and pitchers and catchers reporting to camp in a few weeks the 2025 season is upon us. Right now it looks like the following teams have re-upped their league fees and will be back this year.
1) Seal Beach Kooks 2) Ludicrous Speed 3) Quadroponic 4) Post Hype 5) Bartolo 6) Kenny Lofton
Two teams have confirmed they will be abandoning their team 1) Freeport 2) Kenny Powers
Are there any other team managers that due not inte

Hey everyone, Ludicrous Speed reached out to me directly about being commish on the 17th and I've set Ludicrous up as Commish though there might still be possibility of co-commish'ing. Cheers everyone! All the very best!
