putting it out there again, i would REALLY like to get something out of Freeman. Deadline is approaching and we all know that i am a bit slow to respond sometime.
-
Considering the timing and the nature of the acceptance of it, it does seem a bit fitting. Good to know you aren't in cahoots with him, Batman, haha!
-
"Timing" is the apt word for that trade of ours 🙄

Well, this trade is just getting buck wild. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6520488/2025/07/28/emmanuel-clase-cleveland-guardians-leave-betting/?campaign=14382146&source=athletic_breaking_targeted_email&userId=12558178

Fingers crossed he only has a minimum stay for your sake!
-
I'm fine with the trade. There was nothing shady. I'm at work and was unaware of Roupp's issue when I offered the trade as didn't have time to do a deep dive (nor felt there was any need to do so), but it's fine. Titans worked in good faith. C'est la vie.
-
MLB Trade Rumors had a story around 6 pm ET about Roupp (their story now says 6:30 ET, so they must have updated it with further info). Did you receive the offer before 6 pm ET since it would be time stamped in your e-mail?
-
I thought I was late to realize he went on the IL. When I saw the offer, he was already on it. If Batman comes out to say the IL occurred after he sent the offer and wants to go back, I’m fine with undoing it.

Just to clarify, I was in the system looking at our team to set the final lineup today. I was curious to see if LT started Burrows, so looked at his lineup. I saw that Roupp was on the IL, which I found surprising. Checked MLB Trade Rumors and saw that he went on for an elbow issue. After that, the trade was accepted when Roupp had the IL designation. If Batman knew that when he offered it, all good. If he didn't, that's shady and something we ran into before.
-
Hope that trade was offered after Batman saw that Roupp went on the IL for elbow trouble and he knew that.
-
Agreed, thanks for canceling.
-
Seems like the fair thing to do. Especially because we didn't know the two teams were related.
-
The trade has been cancelled

I think it’s a real slippery slope to veto trades based on different perspectives of “fairness.” However, in this case, since me and Lava’s owner are related, I recognize there is an added concern of collusion. I’m just skeptical that a majority of teams in the league have and/or would be willing to part with significant future value for a 35 y/o 1B.

Agreed that there is limited context with trades on Slack and it prioritizes current value over future value, but when a trade gets poop emoji on there, it is presumably viewed as something not close at all. Comments on there confirm that. To Clash City's point, a lack of value going back is what is being said there. The issue is the trade is filled out by two disposable, basically unwanted players in the last week that will just be replaced by two very similar players/prospects.
-
No one is forbidding Lava from trading Freeman, and he's not in a position where he must trade him now either. Some of just feel he should get more in return.
-
This same league had an effective trade of Hunter Brown for McLain and Bautista after Papi dropped Canning. I posted that to Slack and it was voted us unfair too.

I’m leaning towards undoing it. But I want to take what comes from Slack with a grain of salt. Each league is its own market, I don’t think a team with a given player should be forbidden from trading them because the outside world says a fair trade doesn’t exist.

We saw the Freeman trade posted on Slack (promise it wasn't us who posted) and it has an overwhelming vote for the Freeman side with some poop emoji. That sounds like Slack has deemed it "unfair" and there's been some similar thoughts here as well. Because LT has stated "I do not want to benefit from a trade that is considered unfair," are we going to reverse this trade even it is not actually voted to be vetoed? Honest question because of the original message saying that.
-
I may have jumped the gun on this trade and should’ve waited to move Freeman. I thought trading him earlier in the season might yield more. The other offers I received were also unbalanced. The next best had a slightly younger 1B with less production, a low-impact fantasy pitcher, and a promising prospect (who drew a 2-bid auction recently). I’m placing strong value on MLB’s top prospect list—both players have ranked highly for two years. Open to reconsideration if league deems it unbalanced.
-
I had the same concern.
-
We're going to veto once we figure out who to cut in a bit, but vetoed rarely happen. If it goes through, that certainly doesn't mean the trade is fair or was actually "approved."
-
We also think this trade is unfair if we're honest. It's not because our competition improved or because someone has different perceptions of players than we do. Busch being in the offer is fine, but the other two who in the trade are two prospects that literally no one else wanted within the last few days (including one that was picked up four hours before the trade was accepted). If it was De Vries or Whisenhunt to name a couple that multiple people bid on, it would be different.
-
A respected member of the league has expressed thoughts on the Freeman trade- I do not want to benefit from a trade that is considered unfair. Please voice any displeasure here, via message or by voting on the trade itself.

Chase Burns has looked good in first pro-ball starts this year. If anyone is interested in trading and waiting on his debut, let me know. Don't know that I can roster him if injuries keep it up at the rate they have been!

We love how the coin flip wins for us when it was someone we really didn't want. We would have lost if it was someone we desired, haha.

lol

I'm in the best shape of my life.

And apologies for the spam
-
Thanks for understanding everyone!

March 2 at 4p Pacific works for me for the draft (the prior message was concerning the cuts).
-
Good by me.
-
All good with me!
-
No issue

No issue here. Figured it had to be something for someone that long-standing in the league to miss the deadline.
-
Cool with me.
-
Hey everyone, I had an unexpected emergency yesterday and was unable to make my cuts in time. Please let me know if you'd allow me to make my cuts today. I had 22 guys targeted to be cut in my Roster Organizer. If anyone has an issue I completely understand. Thanks.
-
We're all done for the offseason. We weren't going to cut Jac, but we went with the prospect cuts because we're followers. Thanks to everyone for a fun offseason! It's our favorite part of Ottoneu. Good luck at the auction!
-
I’d prefer Monday the 3rd but I can make Sunday the 2nd work if that’s everyone’s choice. Thanks!
-
I meant Sunday March 2
-
Sunday March 3 works for me
-
That date should be good with us! Does not conflict any potential other draft dates as of now either.
-
Putting a date out there: Sunday, March 2nd. 4PM Pacific / 7PM Eastern. If this does not work, the next day I'd propose is the next day Monday, March 3rd.

I figure it's not too early to start thinking about a draft date. Here is a sheet similar to last year's:

Happy New Year, everyone! Not going to lie, we're a little bummed that we haven't traded anyone from our trade block yet in 2025. We have offers out there, we're just waiting on you. Please help us celebrate the New Year while only being slightly hungover.
-
Please feel free to send us trade offers as I'm tipsy at a 2. Bundesliga match and my drag of a co-owner is sleeping. I'll send some out too!
