Threw some guys on the block I am potentially looking to move. Looking for prospects and young, reasonably priced players. Also would be willing to take assets to eat an overpaid player if we can make the money work
-
Will trade altuve, harper, murphy, happ, degrom, lynn, woodruff, severino i will loan out cash if trade is good want players that make sense to rebuild with- milb close to majors, mlb players on good contracts prob want 2 for or 3-1 trades
-
Found somebody from another Ottoneu league interested in taking over the team - sent a message to Donnie Baseball #23 with the username
-
I will give Team Miller a few more days, then I will look for a new owner (I spoke w Support)
-
I messaged Team Miller and emailed support, I’ll wait for a reply from either/both
-
pretty sure you can.. especially if inactive(ive taken over a team midseason), but may double check with niv/support.

I have tried but have not heard anything back. Can another owner take over if he has paid??
-
Are we taking steps to reach out to Team Miller or find a manager willing to take over?
-
Thank you, I thought it was 3, makes sense
-
His previous salary while on a team was $5 (was won at auction for $5). When he was cut, the 1/2 rounded-up salary is $3 - which, I believe, is immediately reflected when the cut is made so $3 is what shows.
-
Hey, can anyone explain to me- T Anderson was cut on 2/9 at $3. Why is it that if you want to bid on him the minimum bid is $3? Shouldn't it be "Any bids for him as a free agent must be at least 50% of his previous salary" so wouldn't that be $2 (1.5 rounded up)?? He already passed through waivers, right? thanks!
-
Passed out last night unfortunately lol
-
You always wait see the auctions the next day to see the players you missed.
-
Thank you Donnie Baseball. I know scheduling and reinforcing draft dates and times is a thankless task.
-
The plan is to try and get it all done
-
Never mind, just read through all the messages and realized that it's tomorrow night, Saturday 2/4. I'd have a plan for what you'll do with teams that don't show (in a first year league, they would be much more likely to just drop out vs. draft a team via the waiver wire) and whether we're going all the way. Having 1/2 a draft and then doing the rest a month later etc. seems very unorthodox and not the experience that I think most of us are hoping for even though drafts can be 6-8 hours
-
i.e., I thought February 4th was just a placeholder...
-
When is the auction? Do we have a date set for the first part whether it's part 1 or the entire draft???
-
Agree 100%
-
I'm cool doing it in one sitting if we can. Going to be tough to find a time when all 12 of us are available
-
I wasnt disagreeing, I completely understand, I wrote that just to assure everyone. Your point is correct.
-
I just meant, like, every year. Hashing out the auction details is the toughest part. Always compromise to be made from everyone. It's worth it, though. The auctions are a rush.
-
We will have 2 months and we will actively find a 2nd date if needed, no one will be left out
-
For what it's worth, scheduling the auction is the hardest part of this game.
-
My preference is to go as long as possible
-
I’m not saying we stop at midnight, just using that time as a point “to see where we are”, We would still have almost 2 months, and I know time flys by but I think we can figure that out at that point or after. I’m not saying we can’t make it in one shot, but can’t guarantee we will either. If we go w a second date, no one will be left out, everyone will need to agree, that’s why the more we get done the better and that’s the way we should look at it.
-
I haven't done an Ottoneu auction yet, so no previous experience to talk to, but I'm reading expect 6-8 hours. If that's the case and we're talking 3.5 hrs, if we can't move it earlier I think we should agree on a date/time for the 2nd half ahead of time. I joined knowing the date/time and could make it work all the way through in one shot. My schedule can get iffy and I'd hate to see a few folks not be able to make a follow-on after being committed half way. Just my 2 cents.
-
Same plan though, go to midnight, see where we are, try to get majority done.
-
I've seen some go to 8 hours
-
General plan would be go to midnight EST and see where we are, def want to get majority of it done, rather than 1/2 and 1/2, at that point we can pause and make decision. We will see where it takes us. I would just say bid in a way that doesn’t continually add time over and over.
-
I hear start up drafts can be 6 hr affairs. Are we going to marathon it, divide it in two, other plan?
-
lol, sounds good! just making sure.
-
Hope so. They took my money!
-
Question for Placeholder- just based on your team name I want to make sure "you are in"?
-
OK, looks like we are then?
-
Just posted the link in my other leagues. Hope to get someone on board. Been really excited about the draft on Saturday.

Just joined. 5×5 neophyte. Excited to draft from scratch!
-
I posted in the community, on Slack, and it's public so anyone can see it under "Join A League". If you know anyone that's interested send them to that tab or I posted the link in the community and Slack. Thanks!
-
Great, let me know
-
I may have an owner. Will know later tonight or tomorrow

Ok, strange bc in both the league message board and private one the date is written or referenced and privately they asked, either way, if anyone knows of someone for a final team this league is public so they can go to “join a league” and easily join. I’ll post in forum and slack tomorrow.
-
If go to team settings you can “withdraw from league” up until before draft which looks like they did.

Are you able to withdraw on your own? Or is that something I need to do? Idk if you get your $ back if I do it?
-
The draft is this Saturday, it has been clearly written that way, sorry if you misunderstood. Let me know your decision, I would have to find a replacement quickly. I sent you (I think there are two of you (comanagers)), a private message, please read that before withdrawing if that is what you do. Also, since there are 2 of you, would 1 of you be able to make the draft? Plus there is a chance the draft doesn’t complete and we schedule some for another date that we agree on. Things to thinkabout
-
Yes
-
Are we set to draft this Saturday?
-
Full!
