• Hey, sorry if felt trade was unfair. Just wanted to get something for Yamamoto since I wasn't planning on keeping and think the guys I got will help me this year and hopefully in the future as they're all keep with some upside. Happy to go more in depth if need and maybe should've shopped him around more as It was my first day, so that is my bad on that.. but feel personally I got a decent return for a big salary guy. I'll try to be more patient with my other big salary guys going forward

  Slump Busters on June 14, 2025 7:21 PM

• To be fair I think Yamamoto is a sure fire rental and probably two of those players have a chance to be keepers for a team that is rebuilding. Possibly could have shopped him and more but really only a couple teams looking buy a $47 Yamamoto.

• I accepted a counter but am happy to reverse it if the new owner has regrets. Most people in my life don't think I'm scummy.

  Grizzly Adams on June 14, 2025 7:10 PM

• The old trick that scummy owners use on new owners, pile up a heap of garbage and then offer it for a marquee player. Did it come with the usual sleazy car salesman pitch?

  Winnetka Bears on June 14, 2025 6:29 PM

• This is the poster child of a vetoable trade. Absolutely appalling trade. We get a new owner and five minutes later a lopsided predatory trade by the biggest crybaby in all my leagues combined. This trade is pure bullshit.

  Winnetka Bears on June 14, 2025 6:21 PM

• Thank you! Yes this will be my first year in ottoneu but I'm an active dynasty player. May have a few questions along the way but excited to learn as I go.

  Slump Busters on June 14, 2025 11:23 AM

• Looks like i was able to find someone. Welcome David! he actually helped with the proxy draft and familiar with auction prices and such. But this will be his first year in ottoneu. Think will be a good squad and league to learn with so many active owners. Thanks everyone and here's to a fun last few months of the season!

  Fantasy Vibes on June 14, 2025 11:20 AM

• Hey everyone. The owner of SlumpBusters had some life things come up and couldn't manage the team like originally thought. I abandon the squad and marked the league as private to make sure find an owner to take over for the rest of the season and beyond. Let me know if any questions or someone that may help. Have some feelers out already. Thanks and has to be the most trades in a season by far!

  Fantasy Vibes on June 14, 2025 9:34 AM

• At the time there was a lot of risk trading for Acuna. It was unknown how long Acuna would be out and how long it would take for him to be productive. I was looking at carrying his $42 salary for potentially half the season with nothing to show for it. Schultz at the time was one of the top three pitching prospects and was ascending. This was pre-auction where one can do quite a bit with $40 in the auction.

  Winnetka Bears on June 13, 2025 1:03 PM

• The Acuna deal I did in the off season pre auction and I wouldn't have done it with a loan in season. I thought/think Acuna career is on the way down with so many serious surgies, that Schultz would be up before Acuna healed due to White Sox terrible roster + farm, and that I could utlize the excess money in the auction. But now not that trade is looking bad. I have been having bad history with prospect pitchers. Important to consider everyteams salary should go up 80ish in off-season

  Chicago Mayors on June 13, 2025 12:06 PM

• It's all in good fun but I think the two teams with over $500 in cap and salaries stand the best chance to win. It's interesting to me as I learn how to play the game that Grizzly and Winnetka have both used Zac Gallen to create $24 in cap space with Mayors thru swap and cuts and all it cost was prospects that most likely wont be up this year and may or not may pan out. I also looked back and saw there was an Acuna for Schultz trade that caused a stir for similar reasons.

  🐻Big Bad Bruins🐻 on June 13, 2025 11:11 AM

• *5 teams! Bruins you are still in the chase with 100 leas innings pitched. And I am looking for keeper value at this point, so not opposed to trading propsects for someone with potential keeper value.

  Chicago Mayors on June 13, 2025 9:50 AM

• Vibes and gators are also in the chase, but that is still only 4 teams that could be interested in win now players for prospects. My initial trade offer of Gallen with only 50% loan would have made sense and I would have played more hard ball if I wasn't scared that Gallen becomes drop after his start on Saturday. It was a major miscalculation not getting Montes for 1 then adding 12-24 dollars.

  Chicago Mayors on June 13, 2025 9:48 AM

• I’m new so I haven’t quite figured it all out but it seems like this league this year is who can loan the most to grizzly and Winnetka and let them duke it out an hope for next year. I don’t see anything wrong with it and hopefully it will be someone else looking to get loans in next year. Some teams are buyers and some sellers. I do think that just cutting Gallen and bidding for Montes would have made more sense, hopefully it was just a miscalculation and not something worse.

  🐻Big Bad Bruins🐻 on June 12, 2025 11:02 PM

• It's all good I like trades and so do you

  Grizzly Adams on June 12, 2025 8:36 PM

• I messed up by not bidding on Montes and had to pay up. He is 33rd ranked propsect with power and not many red flags on an aging team that is stranded in the horrible area of too good for top picks but not good enough to win a pennant. The trade was a counter and I do think the 12 dollar loan is the bad part of the deal as at the end of the day all minor leaguers are uncertain. But there aren't any minor league 1 dollar replacements at the moment that are top 33 70% owned

  Chicago Mayors on June 12, 2025 8:32 PM

• I didn't pick up Walcott for $1 uncontested a day before that trade. I don't understand the timing. It's a fine trade I just don't get it.

  Grizzly Adams on June 12, 2025 8:26 PM

• I could have been the loan king right now

  Chicago Mayors on June 12, 2025 8:24 PM

• Am I terrible at math. But I thought recieved 5 dollars worth of players for spending 96 dollars worth of Gallen + Alcantara and Bautista. Taking it to over 100 dollar loss

  Chicago Mayors on June 12, 2025 8:24 PM

• Those two trades netted you $32 (after cutting Gallen) in cap room in addition to keepable assets like Framber, Will Smith, Alcantara and Bautista all for Alcott and Eldridge. Nobody made any complaint on those trades.

  Winnetka Bears on June 12, 2025 8:23 PM

• Chicago Mayors
  Felix Bautista $8
  Sandy Alcantara $6
  Zac Gallen $24
  Loan $34
  
  Grizzly Adams
  Sebastian Walcott $4

  Winnetka Bears on June 12, 2025 8:20 PM

• Grizzly Adams
  Francisco Alvarez $10
  Christian Scott $1
  Kumar Rocker $3
  Bryce Eldridge $4
  
  Farm to Table
  Framber Valdez $20
  Will Smith $15
  Loan $25

  Winnetka Bears on June 12, 2025 8:20 PM

• Simply cutting Gallen frees up $12 immediately instead of a guy he didn't care to bid on 72 hours ago. It's puzzling.

  Grizzly Adams on June 12, 2025 8:18 PM

• What else was he going to get for Zac Gallen?

  Kids These Days on June 12, 2025 8:10 PM

• I don't understand not bidding $1 on a guy 2 days ago then giving a $23 loan to get him today

  Grizzly Adams on June 12, 2025 7:51 PM

• Yordan Alvarez is on the block for prospects.

  Smoltz's Baldhead on May 26, 2025 4:41 PM

• I can't ever remember this many auctions running at once. Really active league this year, that's great

  Grizzly Adams on May 15, 2025 6:50 PM

• Sent you a message about the in season moves rules. Yes can acquire cap space via trades or cuts(there’s a cap penalty explained in detail in the rules section). Auctions during the season are 48hrs with blind bidding to the highest bidder, any ties during the season go to the team lower in standings

  Fantasy Vibes on March 7, 2025 12:21 PM

• And these current auctions for players I see on the league page - these are players that have been nominated/bid on and will be processed Saturday?
  Thanks for your patience in answering my Qs!

  Oppo Taco Truck on March 7, 2025 2:05 AM

• This is my first year in ottoneu. I need to create cap space.
  What are the ways I can do that? Through trade... and through dropping a player that is picked up by another team?

  Oppo Taco Truck on March 7, 2025 2:04 AM

• I have someone that can help as well. Reminder draft tonight at 8central/9est

  Fantasy Vibes on March 6, 2025 3:06 PM

• I sent a message to one owner that is pretty good and experienced and a message to another league that I am in that doesn't have as much cross ownership in this league to see if they can draft for you Grizz.

  Winnetka Bears on March 6, 2025 8:56 AM

• Yes no need to reschedule I'm good with a proxy if you can find one through the posting

  Grizzly Adams on March 4, 2025 5:17 PM

• At this point may be hard to reschedule since it'll be in 2 days and really was the only day we had majority available. Could try to post on the forums for a proxy drafter which I've had luck with in the past.

  Fantasy Vibes on March 4, 2025 4:23 PM

• I just found out I have to travel for work Thursday. It is too late to reschedule, so how should we best handle that? I'm fine just using the waiver wire after the draft to fill the spots if we have to. If anyone knows someone that could draft for me I could provide a general range of targets.

  Grizzly Adams on March 4, 2025 4:04 PM

• Looks like Thursday March 6th at 8PM CST was the best option for all. Thanks everyone and hopefully can keep that date. Should be a fun draft! if any questions just let me know.

  Fantasy Vibes on February 4, 2025 3:08 PM

• If everyone can take a sec to fill out the draft poll https://app.rallly.co/invite/Y7Q8IJnIKChX - can hopefully get that scheduled soon. thanks

  Fantasy Vibes on February 1, 2025 5:29 PM

• Auction should be very interesting this year.

  Winnetka Bears on February 1, 2025 7:24 AM

• Last day to make any moves/cuts before the draft. Everyone has renewed for next year and looks like the season starts with the tokyo series march 18th, so if want to do get a draft in before then. Let me know if have any availability issues for march and can send out a poll tomorrow. Thanks for a fun offseason!

  Fantasy Vibes on January 31, 2025 12:58 PM

• Anyone interested in Rutschman. He's yours for a cheapish starting 3B.

  Smoltz's Baldhead on January 29, 2025 3:09 PM

• Welcome! Glad to have you. Still a few days left before the keeper and renewal deadline which is this Friday night.

  Fantasy Vibes on January 27, 2025 10:40 PM

• New owner, I am an active owner, I'm hoping this league is also. I just set my available players, but I will listen to any reasonable offers.

  Smoltz's Baldhead on January 27, 2025 10:22 PM

• Welcome!

  Fantasy Vibes on January 24, 2025 9:01 AM

• Hello, I am the new owner of the Gigantic Giants. I recognize a few of your names and looking forward to getting to know the rest of you this season. I’ll try to get my trade list set soon.

  CROCO🐊GATORS on January 23, 2025 10:58 PM

• Welcome to WFP Jack!

  Winnetka Bears on January 14, 2025 12:13 AM

• Welcome new owner of Diamond Dogs, Jack. Know him from another dynasty league. Savvy owner, but first try at ottoneu. Should be a quick learner and improve his standings next year. Thanks everyone for a great offseason! Hopefully everyone renews on time and can set a draft date after the 31st deadline.

  Fantasy Vibes on January 12, 2025 9:10 PM

• Owner of diamond dogs asked to be abandoned so looking for one more manager.

  Fantasy Vibes on January 12, 2025 8:41 PM
