It’s not you Miracle, I’m just used to the same ol’ thing in Ottoneu - nobody making offers, or making low-ball offers, and then getting their feelings ouchy when I trade a good player to another team. It happens in lots of leagues, and happened here a couple times last year. I didn’t mean to make you think I was reacting to your messages from last week. It’s unrelated.

Apologies for opening this can of worms, I was really asking about the initial trade just to try and get a handle on this league and ottoneu in general. Spa (Mr. Stallion?), I don't think anyone is complaining or has any right to complain about trades, and I certainly am not planning on checking with every team before trading players. I say go nuts, all is fair in love and fantasy baseball, especially with strangers on the internet.
-
If you have not reached out to me about players on my trade block by now, would you at least agree it is unreasonable for you to complain if they are traded to other contending teams? I don’t want to ruin the game for anyone, but seriously only 3 or 4 of you are active when it comes to trade negotiations.

Full disclosure - I have been getting inquiries about Springer, Woodruff, Montas and others. I’m disappointed in my slow start and considering a partial “rebuild” on the fly, but not a full fire-sale, at least not yet. Looking for quality over quantity - 3 or 4 mediocre players don’t equal a star player.

I agree with Cubby. Obviously each team's roster is unique but I'm not sure I would given $8 for Kirk.

I don't think there is any excess value in a $8 Kirk. When I look at trades like this, I ask myself "would Kirk go for significantly more than $8 if he were a free agent right now?" I don't think he would, the trade is totally fine with me.
-
As long as Showtime doesn’t complain when I give players away for less than he thinks they are worth (or for literally nothing), I’ll ignore this one.

Glad you asked. There are many different layers to Ottoneu. I learn new things every year.

To be clear I don’t have any issues with the trade, but since I’m new just wanted to ask
-
Just curious as I am relatively new to the league but how many trades of player for only cap space have been made historically in this league. Ultimately i don't think that $8 in cap space or Kirk will make a bit of difference in the outcome of the league.

Kirk has been on my trade block since the beginning of the season. Sorry it’s different. Woodruff was not on your block.

There is definitely a difference between Kirk and Woodruff. Plus the timing of the trade. This is April. The Woodruff trade was in August. And Woodruff contributes to a team a lot more than Kirk.
-
Re: trade quote from the woodruff discussions "My “gripe” isn’t about the trade or the return. It’s not letting others know. I feel like a broken record explaining my position to you and Saratoga. It’s a great trade. Just give others a heads up." Same point I make here.

BIG difference between Woodruff and Kirk imo. He needed a catcher and had cap space. Not many teams fall in to that category. Every team could have used a top tier SP. I respect your response though.

Yes trades like this happen. When teams need cap space and don’t want to wait or take the chance that a player will be reauctioned they sometimes trade the player straight up for money.

Not any different really than trading for cash considerations. I do think it would be better if SHO made it known that he is willing to make trade of a well thought of catcher for cap space. I got hell last year for trading a well priced pitcher for prospects “without making it known he was available.”
Pale Hose on

So about that latest trade, it looks like Sho is just giving a player away for no return? I get that you get more cap space than if you just dropped but is this normal?
-
Taijuan Walker didn't even have time to unpack his luggage after I signed him before he got hurt. Gotta be one of the shortest stays in my team history.
-
Actually you came out approximately 20 points ahead as you didn't use up 3 innings and 1 game.
-
Kind of funny - I didn’t log in to do my roster today before the early games started, and I left Kwan on the bench for his 30+ point day. On the other hand, I also would have put Spencer Howard in for his negative 30+ point game today. So it is a wash. But still a reminder that the part I hate about Ottoneu is remembering to check lineups before every game because we never know who is playing until just before the games start.

While in Vegas in March, I put money on Milwaukee in NL and White Sox in AL to be in World Series.

Any predictions for World Series winner? How about Cy Young and MVP's? I got to go with the Dodgers for WS. They are very deep in all positions.

Welcome to the league Duane, Sean and Todd!

Thanks, looking forward to the season. This is my first Ottoneu experience, though I've been playing in (and been commissioner) a dynasty league the last 6 years.

Welcome Sean, as our new owner of Yari Autonomics. Good Luck Sean. This completes all teams with ownership. Thank you everyone.

Thanks. Going to be a few weeks or so before I figure out what I'm going to do with my team. Looking forward to the 2022 season. This will be my 31st year playing fantasy baseball. Last played Otteneu like 10 years ago. Enjoyed it.

Everyone welcome Todd, new owner of the Buttermakers.

If you like any players on my trade block, they are very available. I would trade them for any player I see even some small amount of “keeper” value in.

Madmen Team has a claim in for Ownership. Horrorshow and Yari Autonomics are still available. Know anyone? New Prospective Owner can go to Abandoned Teams and Put in a claim. I will gladly add. Thanks All. Have a great Thanksgiving Week.

I agree. That was a low point for the league, and it makes sense to evaluate trades. I still think 24 hours is plenty of time. If a trade is absurd, it will be clear. And if people are going several days without checking their teams, they aren’t really dialed in enough to notice anyway.

I'm not opposed to 24 hr wait on trades, but I would remind those who were here last year and inform those who weren't that this league last year experienced the infamous Alabama Slammer - Alabama Slammer trade. I'm not saying the extra 24 hrs was necessary to spot that fraudulent swap, but just that we still need to pay attention to trades and not ignore them assuming they never get vetoed (and never should be). I hate picking apart other people's trades, (HATE that) just sayin pay attention.
-
Could we change the waiting periods for trades to 24 hours? So few trades are ever vetoed, so it would not make any difference in terms of trade approvals. But it would make trades more enjoyable. Nobody should want a 48 hour dead period with players in limbo for no reason. It will be better for all of us when we make this improvement.

Madmen has chose to leave the league also. Looks like 2 vacant currrently.
