• 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!

• Well, in other news, I need a 3B if anyone is dealing one.

  Bartolo's Cologne on May 27, 2025 10:55 AM

• 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.

  work in progress on May 27, 2025 10:14 AM

• Regardless, no hard feelings here.

  Cranjis McBaseball on May 27, 2025 8:50 AM

• 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.

  Cranjis McBaseball on May 27, 2025 8:49 AM

• 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.

  Turner's Fairly Odd Parents on March 13, 2025 9:09 PM

• **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."

  Ludicrous Speed on March 13, 2025 5:54 PM

• 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.

  Ludicrous Speed on March 12, 2025 5:29 PM

• 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).

  Turner's Fairly Odd Parents on March 9, 2025 11:58 PM

• 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

  Quadraphonic Blaupunkt on March 9, 2025 6:01 PM

• I am having trouble accessing the auction

  Quadraphonic Blaupunkt on March 9, 2025 6:00 PM

• 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!

  Ludicrous Speed on February 25, 2025 3:01 PM

• 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.

  work in progress on February 24, 2025 1:12 PM

• 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.

  Seal Beach Kooks * on February 24, 2025 12:32 PM

• 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

• 4pm works for me

  Quadraphonic Blaupunkt on February 23, 2025 6:12 PM

• I would need it to be at or after 4pm ET. Traveling that morning

  Kenny Lofton Jr's Two Way Contract on February 23, 2025 1:10 PM

• 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?

  Ludicrous Speed on February 23, 2025 12:55 PM

• 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.

  Ludicrous Speed on February 19, 2025 7:01 PM

• An earlier start time works for us, too

  Piranhas on February 19, 2025 2:46 PM

• Fine with me, too.

  Kenny Lofton Jr's Two Way Contract on February 19, 2025 1:39 PM

• Ok here.

  Turner's Fairly Odd Parents on February 19, 2025 1:17 PM

• That works for me

  Seal Beach Kooks * on February 19, 2025 1:15 PM

• any way we can start an hour or two earlier on the 9th...I have another draft at 9pm that day.

  Quadraphonic Blaupunkt on February 19, 2025 11:10 AM

• 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.

  Ludicrous Speed on February 13, 2025 7:21 PM

• Both dates work for me. Preferably in the evening

  Post Hype Sleepers on February 11, 2025 7:35 AM

• 9th after 3pm eastern works for me.

  Kenny Lofton Jr's Two Way Contract on February 10, 2025 9:16 PM

• The 9th will work for me as well. Like others, the 16th would be problematic.

  Cranjis McBaseball on February 10, 2025 8:37 PM

• 9th should be ok for me

  Turner's Fairly Odd Parents on February 10, 2025 8:32 PM

• The 9th works. 16th doesn’t work on our end.

  Piranhas on February 10, 2025 8:31 PM

• The 9th works. The 16th does not for me

  Seal Beach Kooks * on February 10, 2025 3:00 PM

• 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.

  Ludicrous Speed on February 10, 2025 12:45 PM

• 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.

  Post Hype Sleepers on February 5, 2025 9:32 AM

• 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.

  Ludicrous Speed on February 4, 2025 5:21 PM

• 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.

  work in progress on January 31, 2025 8:43 PM

  Ludicrous Speed on January 29, 2025 2:12 PM

• 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
