Despite recent changes in the standings, the Crimson Strikes remain committed to poor lineup management, questionable auction bids and reckless cap management. We will continue to do everything in our power to return to sixth place.

Citizens of Cicely! I stand before you tonight humbled, yet optimistic. We began this campaign with the lofty goal of winning a title, but the pollsters have informed us that we have dropped 15 points in the last week alone and things are looking grim. Now, we may not see eye-to-eye with Crimson Strikes (crowd boos vociferously) but conceding the race is a key to this league's legitimacy, so we wish them congratulations on winning... the month of April.
Now watch out.

I’m putting Grayson on the block! He’s admittedly nursing an injury (we only have a first aid kit and no MRI machine in Ciclely, so cannot confirm the severity of said injury) but if you want a future ace to stash, make me an offer! He is still undervalued in Otto ($12 average!) and might even get you a free 60-day IL spot while he heals.
The Marmots DMs are OPEN!

BREAKING
Jeff Passan is reporting that the Cicely Marmots are considering a name change. The club owner was overheard late last night drunkely saying, "I know Marmots are subterrain creatures, but I think they're taking this shit literally. I mean, a team OBP of .301?! That is damn near underground. How about the Cicely Mallards? The Cicely Chickadees?? Something that FLIES." He then spilled his beer.
When asked for comment, the commissioner said, "That's

I hope Zack Littell gets stuck in bumper to bumper traffic and misses his flight 😡

Being the only member of the league under 40pts is a frustrating thing for the trotters front office. They are officially open for business. Send offers. Looking to get the ship turned around.

I tried the opposite of what was supposed to work...and that didn't work either! We wish Senzatela better luck with his next team, lol.

Poor one out for Charlie, yall 😢

Poor Charlie Condon, leaving the Cicely Marmots without being traded for anybody.

Absolutely. It's standard in every Marmot contract.

I hear the Marmots made Merrill sign a "probably-will-be traded" waiver in place of the "no-trade" clause.

Dateline: Cicely, AK
The Cicely Marmots are pleased to announce they have signed Jackson Merrill to a 9-year extension, allowing his Ottoneu salary to gradually increase to $36 by the 2034 season, when they will abruptly trade him for Key Griffey, Jr. Jr.
Congrats to both Jackson and the Griffey child, who may or may not exist!

Or like me, 1 day into the season I have 4 healthy SP lol

The problem with trading from depth with starting pitchers is that it virtually guarantees that one of your aces will go down within the next week.

I'm looking for a back of the rotation starter, someone already in the show! If anyone has an extra #7 starter, shoot me an offer!

I dunno, Cicely. You claim Volpe is housebroken, but the second I trade for him, he’s going to piss all over my OBP and SLG.

Anyone need an affordably-price ($2!), gently used, housebroken Anthony Volpe? Shout at ya boy! The shop's always open!

Someone take a screen shot of the standings quick. I’m not in dead last

I've never played Prestige, though it sounds interesting. If you want to do it, pick a year when you're ready to move all in. Trade anyone that can't help you win immediately. If anyone could do it, it's probably Cicely...
Also, unrelated, but this offseason ran smoothly. We found a date early and we drafted with enough time to make roster updates. I really appreciate that! Thanks smg.
-
Never played OPL, but someone in my other league played (also an arbitration league). Looking at the rules, it looks like teams are excluded for "arbitration adjustments" which we don't do. So you should be good. Probably get a refund if booted (and a sore butt). You have a nice team. If you enter....you represent ALL of us! GL!
-
Has anyone in our league ever played OPL? If so, is it true we get booted from the league if we come a league with arbitration?

Just a reminder, trea Turner is available to be had. Prospects/SP/OF wanted in return

I’ve got a glut of young outfielders and I’m contemplating moving MLB #6 prospect Max Clark from the Tigers. If you’re interested, I’d be looking for a prospect or young player in return - catcher or possibly starting pitcher. If you want a $1 stud, make your best offer!

Thanks, smg!

OK, I had to go to "Commish Tools" and "League Settings" to find the magic button. So get started with your trades!

I emailed the help desk and am awaiting a response. I would say wait. I don't expect this to hold things up for more than a day, much less interfere with the season.

I'd probably wait for smg to sort through it. Obviously, any player added from this point forward should go through the in-season bid process, assuming it will get fixed soon.
-
Can I put a few dollar guys through the auction? I figure I'd check with the group before doing anything since this is clearly some kind of bug.
-
Thanks for checking!
-
That is a good question. It allowed me to pause the draft, but not stop it. I will have to check into this.

Don't forget everybody, the draft is next Sunday at 7pm Eastern. Also don't forget that Daylight Savings Time begins next Sunday morning, so make sure your clocks have been set accordingly.

So I have set the draft for Sunday the 9th at 7 pm. If that is problematic for anybody, speak now or forever hold your peace.

So I will give people until Monday morning to comment, but the 9th is looking pretty set. Should we do 7 pm or 8?
