• Happy New Year! Cut deadline is January 31st. Please renew your teams ahead of the deadline.

• Olson and McKenzie for a big OF eligible bat, let's negotiate!

  Schwarfizzles on December 25, 2020 1:35 PM

• Holiday season is upon us. Let’s get some trades going. I am interested in moving Corbin, ideally for a quality productive hitter.

  Player to be named later on December 21, 2020 9:27 AM

• Hello all! I am thrilled to be a new member of the league. Can't wait for 2021 MLb. Most importantly, Lots of Nectar are are open for business. Send trade offers! Thank you!

  Bats from the Past on December 3, 2020 9:22 PM

• Hey all! I have someone who will join the league to replace John (Lots of Nectar). He should be a very active owner. I would like to keep the league humming along and look forward to hopefully welcoming John back next year. Hope everyone is well.

  Player to be named later on December 2, 2020 3:41 PM

• hey all. thanks for the nice words. I am stepping down as commish and taking a year off from ottoneu. mostly because I feel like I have become the owner that I would always hound to check their team so that the league could be as competitive as possible. and also because the league is as good as it's ever been in terms of having solid owners for every team top to bottom. which makes the job of the commish so easy. So that to all for that. and thanks for everyone for everything. it's been so fun.

  Bats from the Past on December 2, 2020 2:12 PM

• I would be willing to co-commish with someone. Separately, I am open for trading business.

  Player to be named later on November 23, 2020 12:14 PM

• Oh man that’s a true bummer Lots of Nectar - you created a great league and were a really awesome Comish! Does this mean you are stepping out for good or just passing on the commissioner baton?

  Midnight's Children on November 14, 2020 1:18 AM

• I don't think I have enough experience with the format yet to volunteer to help, but I'm sure you'll do a great job, future commish.

  Fame Throwa on November 11, 2020 1:44 PM

• As heads up to everyone: I have been talking with John (Lots of Nectar), the current commissioner about singing on and eventually taking over as commissioner. I have never done that before, but I'll give it my best shot. If someone would be interested in being co-commissioner, this would be a good time to raise your hand :-)

• Just a friendly reminder that 5 days of arb voting remain!

  Mr Baseball on November 9, 2020 10:04 AM

• Congrats on the win, Brad! You built a good team through key trades and roster moves that would've won in a long season as well. Looking forward trading/drafts in the offseason!

  Dale a tu cuerpo alegría Arozarena on September 28, 2020 12:03 PM

• Thanks so much! 2020 has been a bummer or a year - but having baseball still, and this league, was a definite bright spot. :). Look forward to next season!

  Midnight's Children on September 28, 2020 1:34 AM

• Congrats Champ!

  Schwarfizzles on September 27, 2020 11:13 PM

• Congrats Trust the Process! And thanks to all for letting me join the league this year, couple missteps for my first time playing this format but I enjoyed it and looking forward to next year.

  Fame Throwa on September 27, 2020 10:59 PM

• Yes, Congrats Process on a good win! Happy playoffs, everyone!

  You Say Tomato, I SEIYA SUZUKI on September 27, 2020 9:18 PM

• Indeed! Well done Trust! The circumstances are wild, but you did lead almost start to finish, so it wasn’t that wild a ride either! Now let’s see what the offseason and the 2021 season bring.

  Mr Baseball on September 27, 2020 9:08 PM

• Congrats Trust the Process on winning under such wild circumstances!

  Olson's Eleven on September 27, 2020 8:54 PM

• Any interest in Benintendi? He's doubtful for the rest of the season. Maybe looking for a SP or OF swap.

  Schwarfizzles on August 31, 2020 7:50 PM

• Yeah, we normally didn't allow trading of cash over 25ish because although you have to get back down to 400 eventually, you have the advantage of gaining many more assets and trading those extra assets in the offseason before the 400 cap is required.

  You Say Tomato, I SEIYA SUZUKI on August 31, 2020 10:32 AM

• I was going to accept a similar Chuck Finley trade but scaled in back for the size of the loan. I think $50+ Loan is pretty high (but I’m biased since Mr. baseball and I are battling it out)

  Midnight's Children on August 30, 2020 6:00 AM

• Everyone on my team is available for lost cost high upside players. Look for hitting? Got lots, looking for SP? I have a couple. Will cover the salary difference on all players for the season.

  Spencer Squared on August 29, 2020 3:27 AM

• Looking to deal Robles. before the deadline (in exchange for a backup 2B who is better that Michael Chavis). Robles top 5 prospect on good contract (although he hasn’t even lived up to that price this season...). Maybe a good upside play though for a pretty low end player (a backup 2B).

  Midnight's Children on August 28, 2020 1:24 PM

• I'm into making a deal too, willing to deal from cost effective SP or prospect base for a young OF bat. Lopez-Turnbull-Civale-Canning-Plesac-Pearson-Patino possibly Mize, and Rutschman-Waters-Vaughn can be available. Keeping May, Kelenic.

  Fame Throwa on August 21, 2020 10:37 PM

• Agree with Trust! Trading has been slow. I can offer Voit for SP!

  Mr Baseball on August 21, 2020 9:09 PM

• Looking for a strong SP (contract doesn't have to be great)... willing to move one of my OF bats (all under $11) or a top relief pitcher (like Hader at $9). Trades have been slow all year in this league - lets bring the dealing back! :)

  Midnight's Children on August 17, 2020 11:00 PM

• Altuve + Turner available.

  Player to be named later on August 2, 2020 8:28 PM

• Willing to trade a starting pitcher for a reliever if anyone is short starting and has RP depth and open to moving one.

  Fame Throwa on July 30, 2020 5:47 PM

• Finally! Happy Baseball everyone :)

  You Say Tomato, I SEIYA SUZUKI on July 23, 2020 6:33 PM

• Woot!

  Spencer Squared on July 16, 2020 10:20 PM

• Just looking forward to some baseball!

  You Say Tomato, I SEIYA SUZUKI on July 16, 2020 8:03 AM

  Olson's Eleven on April 18, 2020 8:06 PM

• Liam Hendricks bought my fiance lunch today. To be fair, he bought everyone at Alameda Hospital lunch, but it's still cool. 👍

  Spencer Squared on April 17, 2020 7:49 PM

• thanks for the offer. it's appreciated. everyone stay safe.

  Bats from the Past on March 28, 2020 2:29 PM

• Hope everyone is staying safe and taking the Covid stay at home suggestion seriously. If you have any questions, I am not an expert, but I am well educated/informed. My aunt is an ICU nurse in Washington and treated a critical case and my fiance's family is two nurses, an x-ray tech, and a dentist. Feel free to shoot me an email.

• ESPN ran an article last week about the same idea in rottisserie fantasy baseball.

  Mr Baseball on March 18, 2020 3:50 PM

• ok. had a dream/thought. what if it were possible to create a league where the goal was to create the best "all time team". still using ottoneu $400 auction draft model and FA add/drop system. Out of the park has data on "all historical MLB seasons (1871-2019)" ottoneu not so much. and then each week you 'set your roster' by choosing which season for each player you want to use (or something). might be a cool way to use data that exists, plus some strategy decisioning, and cr

  Bats from the Past on March 18, 2020 3:44 PM

• Out of the Park offers simulated games: https://ootpdevelopments.onfastspring.com/ootp/

  Mr Baseball on March 17, 2020 10:44 AM

• I've been thinking about finding a place to set up a sim league where it simulates played games, just for something to do. Have heard a lot about it but never have tried it. Might be worth considering this year...

  Fame Throwa on March 16, 2020 10:37 PM

• Note - not saying I won't be working (it's possible my supervisor is in the league), just saying I will be trapped inside for three weekends.

  Spencer Squared on March 16, 2020 8:06 PM

• Just a weird thought... We could do an entire re-draft if everyone else gets quarantined like me for three weeks. Maybe start a second league? I am down, for the amount of fun I get out of interacting with you folks a second league with most of the same folks and an opportunity to completely reset the economy would be interesting. Hell. We could always do that for the fun of it, like a mini game. Just spit balling. I have free time until April 6th.

  Spencer Squared on March 16, 2020 8:05 PM

• half a thought. glad we drafted. Looks like things will not be back to normal for a long whiles. I wonder if it would be possible to MacGyver the Ottoneu system to allow a different kind of game play in the interim. currently have no idea what that might look like. but could be fun to try. like I said...half a thought.

• my roster look very pretty to me. looking forward to staring at it for two months. and also maybe make some moves. I'm game to trade.

  Bats from the Past on March 15, 2020 8:20 PM

• CDC extended their recommendation of no gatherings of over 50 people in the US for 8 weeks. Looks like no baseball till at least 6/1. Gives us all plenty of time to keep thinking we did a great job at the auction today. Stay safe everybody.
