Now that we are clear of the MLB Trade Deadline, we are now counting down to the Ottoneu Trade Deadline on August 31st. If you haven't already, now is the time to determine your needs for that final push or, if you are out of the running, which players you can trade for pieces for next season. Sometimes it can take a while to get a deal across the finish line, so the sooner you start talks with other teams, the better. Good luck to everyone!
-
My team was so embarrassed by their performance, they didn't want to ruin any team name reputation...so until next season (or when I think of a team name)... 😉
-
What's going on with your team name there, non-Devers fan?
-
Because Breslow thinks he's smarter than everyone else...even if they signed an extension, it's still no bueno. I also don't understand the Blaze Jordan swap for Matz. Both are headscratchers...
Bizzaro Breslow strikes again...
At least he didn't give up 3 top prospects for Joe Ryan though...
-
I think this is industry consensus but what did the Red Sox do? Why would you trade for Tibbs and then turn him around for a fringe SP with an injury history and 2 months of control?
-
Agree Gigantes did well but my goodness what a mess here I’m appalled at the collapse

Any thoughts on best or worst deal of the deadline? I thought the Giants did really well trading away Rogers.
-
Well that was a wild deadline…
-
Just wanted to remind everyone that 30 days after you drop someone, you can reauction them, win, cut them again, and you get half the salary back. Or if someone else wins the auction, you get all of the salary back. Save some cap space…
Back to your regularly scheduled baseball…

Interesting Boston is now right at the 1st lux tax line. I am of the opinion that John Henry spent this money on his Liverpool players and Red Sox won't be reinvesting. They just punted 2025 but they still want fans to go to Fenway even if they just told us they don't want to win this year.
-
Bombshell trade no doubt. Have to admit I have been swayed that it's not that bad of a deal for Boston. If they recycle those funds into a good player or two I can kind of see the rationale. Clubhouse must've been pretty bad which doesn't show up in any model.
-
Had to go with a team name change after the earthquake of a deal this weekend...
-
Welcome to the show C MO!!!!
-
Looking for some saves, any suggestions?
-
Nevermind, looks like Sofa added a loan as well that I didn't see. Comes out the same.
-
Hit the wrong button on that trade i was trying to counter and offer the trade with no loan. Fat fingers got in the way. I messaged sofa and let him know.
-
Just cut Kikuchi in time for a Pivetta/Leiter TJ. Probably going to regret that drop by the end of the month.
-
Ride the Wave Bombers! Ride the Wave! Never know when Thomas Johnson will poke his head out and bite one of your pitchers!
-
Happy to be in second at the moment and see a path to more points in making up some volume. But fear my ratios are fake and that I will give up points on the pitching side!
-
Wishing I hadn't picked up Roki... but I am in desperate need of starters. Not easy to find good innings on the wire.
-
Welcome to June, y'all! How's everyone feeling about their team/place in the standings/etc.?
-
You're welcome...!
-
Free at last!
-
Yeah, I'm curious who i am going to drop too. Lol
-
Dang! Congrats on grabbing Roki, Skenes! Curious to see who you drop to get under the cap space now. Make it some good ones so it causes a little chaos haha!
-
Because we have an active example...if your team name is red on the standings, that means you are either over your cap space or roster limit. It is fine to do so when bidding during an auction. Below is the from the official rules page...
"Teams are allowed to bid such that they would go over roster or cap limits if they win the auction. If they do win the auction, they will have to get under roster and cap limits before they can set their lineups, make trades, or bid on othe

You know when you were a kid and you got to open one present on christmas eve.... I think next year we should be able to auction one player on draft eve!
-
He projects to be replacement level...essentially a 4th outfielder 😎
-
Who's this Soto guy is he any good?
-
How's everyone feeling about the draft T O M O R R O W N I G H T?!?!
-
It's almost time....!
-
Jumping back in here to give everyone a reminder we are almost a week away from our initial draft. If anyone is doing some "homework" to prep for it and has questions about anything with the process/league/etc., just let me know!
-
We have 10 out of 11 available to draft on both Friday March 7th and Saturday March 8th at the moment.
-
If everyone can hit the Doodle link to fill in your draft date availability, it would be appreciated. The sooner everyone responds, the sooner we can nail down a draft date.
Thanks, y’all…

For the couple that haven’t joined yet…

Welcome one and all…! Glad you found us, however you found us.
You can glance back through the messages to see we have a Slack channel going for the league.
Now that the league is full, soon I will send out a poll so we can get a draft date that works best for everyone.
For anyone new to Ottoneu, I will reiterate, please ask questions. I’m happy to answer them and have discussions about anything you’re unsure of here. There are no stupid questions, I pr

I’m very excited…haven’t done a startup in a few years.

Welcome guys, league is full, woot woot

I am looking forward to my first year of Dynasty. I have been a part of Fantasy Baseball or 36 years and 24 of keeper but none full dynasty.
-
Hey all. Joined up from the invite in the Rates and Barrels discord. First year doing Ottoneu but looking forward to the new challenge.
-
Welcome to our new folks, Masebot33 and Fenway Faithful!
-
For anyone that has joined, if you know anyone that would be a great active manager, feel free to invite them...I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that was okay to do.
Side note, if anyone ever has any questions, you can message here, the Slack channel, and/or just shoot me a message. I'm sure there will be varying degrees of understanding Ottoneu as we get going. Chances are if you have the question, someone else does too. Please don't worry about it being a "stupid

I also bumped up the message for recruiting managers in the Ottoneu Community forum, the Rates and Barrels podcast Discord, and the Ottoneu Slack channel. Football leagues are winding down so maybe during/after the holidays, we will have this thing filled up...

If you guys are good with using Slack as a separate chat format, I’ll get that setup…
And please, don’t ever sing Rocky Top 😇
-
We use Slack in my other leagues…?
-
Happy to be here. Any other chat app you guys using?
-
Is it too early to sing ROCKY TOP?!
