Just paid and joined. Working on my friends group to take the other teams. I'll have cuts done over the weekend. Looking forward to a good season!
-
Fingers crossed
-
The four teams that I abandoned were unpaid for this coming season. They were not listed on the Claim Teams page. By abandoning those teams, they are now able to be claimed. Let's see if they get grabbed.

The end is here. Midnight EDT 2024 season dues should be paid. If you want to draft in March, be sure your payment status is current through January 2024.

The end is near: there are just six days left to spend $20 and re-enlist in Ottoneu 2023.
If you plan to compete in 2023, pay up now!

So nobody is interested in Chris Sale. Fair enough. I'll get him for $5 at auction and get 15 or so solid starts before his innings limit kicks in.
Meanwhile, if any of you who have not already made your final cuts is interested in a deal ... it really helps to post on the trades page they positions you would like to add. Otherwise no one with quality guys we can't pay knows not of your interest.

Mad Max, I thought about this for weeks. I never pay to get rid of a guy I can cut, especially now when it costs nothing. I'll trade a costly star for a lower priced but talented player. And most of us have this mindset. We also have many teams with overpriced players. In seismology our situation says a major earthquake is due, soon. Both cases involve conflicting pressures that must be resolved. Our teams can trade for need or gather $ to spend on Draft Day, our Big Bang, sans Penny.

What’s with teams dropping players two months from cut down day?
-
Looks like this will be a No Trade off season. But if you feel like doing a deal, message me, or Freeman. We have done a deal this year. That's a good place to start. Inflation is going to be a bitch ... deals are there for those who work on them, and at decent prices.

S0, that now obsolete team name, Good Hitting Pitchers, sparks a question. How many non-Ohtani pitcher ABs will MLB record in the 2023 regular season? Let's start with an Over/Under of 80. Which side do you like?

"Hello, I will not be able to renew next season. Tried to stick through Arbitration to ensure that the dollars were allocated. Thanks for a great season!"
From Good Hitting Pitchers on November 20, 2022 3:08 PM
I asked him to reconsider:
"If you are completely, truly, certain you're not returning ... I will abandon your team, but first please post an adios to the league on the message board."

Welcome Mr Freeman, good luck in the league
Dodgers you say 🤔

Greetings all. Multi year ottoneu player looking for a new league format to test my skills. Looking forward to a new season and as a rabid Dodgers fan (sorry lol) I couldn't pass up a team with our lord and savior Freddie Freeman on it. and my last name is pronounced "paycheck" funnily enough.

Coastal Empire once again belongs to ehaas. Niv credited the new guy and showed me how to reinstate ehaas. That's been done. Niv was very helpful, and more than patient. I have nothing to do with anyone else's team in Allocations, so that will not get screwed up. Then perhaps we can do some off season trading ... again, no involvement on my end, plenty on yours.

Looks like I abandoned Coastal instead of Zelinski? Niv will e. xpel me from Otto. Before that happens I have asked the new Coastal to pick up Z's team so I can release Z. Bad eyes? Just on old guy? Whatever he wants to do is deserved. I will try to clean this up. Sorry, Coastal. I will get your team back, even if you can't read this message. And perhaps I should leave this Otto league. Let me try to get it fixed.

Zelensky told me he's getting married and taking a new job. Says he won't have time to play a competitive season and wants me to Abandon his team. We had several good conversations, but I could not persuade him to hang in there. So in accordance with his wishes, I have marked his team as Abandoned.

This is too easy for you, Sarge. Two in a row, not even close? We all gotta do better and more thorough homework to take you down in 2023. But, like Nick Saban, you don't owe any apologies. Good job.

Another one...Adolis Garcia. Max had him, I won him in auction. Should be back on Max's team for $5
-
Oh. You already got them. Thanks.
-
Taillon-9, Sale-25, Votto-9, Lewis-18, Beeks-1. Max said he ended up dropping Bryant this morning so that’s probably why it defaulted to the waiver price.
-
Kyle Lewis and Jalen Beeks have also been put back on Trout's team.

Kris Bryant should have been won at auction for $13. I adjusted his salary.

It seems there’s a mistake with me winning the Bryant auction. I bid on him but nowhere near the amount of $27, so something went crazy here.

Ok. The light finally went off in my head. We have a bit of a mess. I put Votto and Sale back on Trout's team despite them being won at auction by other teams. I'm not sure how else to rectify this. If anyone can remember their previous salaries that would be great.

Those 5 players are on your team. I'm missing something in translation here.

I had the same problem with Kimbrel. I had him, but he was still on the auction block. When that team won it, he got moved. I dropped Bryant this morning so I’m obviously not worried about him.
-
Taillon, Sale, Votto, Lewis & Beeks.

Don't quite understand. Can you be a little more specific? What player(s)?
Sgt. Pepper on

I can’t bid for a few players because it says they’re on my team. When someone else wins the auction they get moved to that team.
-
MB brought my name up when I had nothing to do with what the fuck you guys were bitching about this time.
-
I brought it up, not Bus. I asked and he explained his reasoning. A few of us were interpreting the loans rule differently so I questioned it.
-
Hey Magic Bus. How about you keep my team name out of your damn mouth or off your finger tips, rather! I had nothing to do with what the fuck was going on so you had zero reason to even bring me up.
-
My team looks great. Thank you.

Clarification on the Loan Rule. The owner of Ottoneu wrote me that the example in Rule VI (c) will be changed from 'half' to 'some or all' of the traded guy's salary. Works for me, and I stand corrected.

Okay Max and Trou. Check your players. I believe I did a good job of restoring them at your previous salaries. Spot a mistake and it will be repaired.
I placed a couple or three bids after restoring your players on the auctions started by your temporary successors, and Otto informed me that "One or more of the players you bid on is currently on a team." I think that will be all right.
Magic Bus on

I will restore them all.

-
Sorry for any inconvenience I’ve caused. Hopefully communication will be better in the future.
-
Is there a way to cancel these transactions and have my players put back on my team?
-
So, I would just like some clarification on how the loan rule is going to be applied going forward if possible?
-
Exactly. He had to have logged in and placed a bid within the last couple of days. Just because he didn’t change his doesn’t mean he wasn’t active.
-
It’s computers. The owner may not be active, but the team as an entity still exists. The bid was in the queue (placed while the owner was still active). So, it was awarded to the highest bid. Simple.
As to what the owner is saying, I think I speak for most when I say this — no one cares. Most of us have jobs and this is a hobby. I’d rather not get 1000 emails discussing what “bad words” someone may or may not of said. It’s inconsequential.
Rules are fair game. But let’s
