¡Bienvenido a Banco Popular!
A very warm welcome to our new owner (newly named team?)!
The Marmots find themselves in bit of a cash crunch ahead of cut day. In exchange, for say, $150 measly draft day bucks, we would be overjoyed to enter into a sponsorship partnership with you, and going forward be known as Los Marmots de Cicely brought to you by Banco Popular!
You know we love trading here in Cicely and this sounds like good one.

So what you’re saying is there’s still six days to make trades, got it.

PS Can I confirm that everybody is coming back? I have one person from the forum who would rejoin if a team opens for him.

Hey everybody, the keeper deadline is this Friday. After that, no more cuts or trades (sorry Cicely) until the draft. That also means you are going into the draft with the roster you have, so make sure you are under 40 players and $400 dollars.

I would have loved to pounce on this wounded, vulnerable, tasty Cicelian antelope, but I’m pretty much locked in for the offseason.

A very important message to my esteemed league mates-
My co-workers have all checked out early as our mighty little org has a three-day weekend upon us. I've followed suit and checked out early myself, and now find myself cracking a second early evening beer, leaving me very vulnerable to making questionable fantasy baseball trades.
As you all know, the trade window closes in only 14 days, so get at your boy and take home a shiny, new Edwin Díaz while you still can! No
-
Whoa, a doctor?! Perhaps you missed the part about us supplying a FREE value pack of HotHands™ brand hand warmers to Mr. Díaz. Those are easily one of the top four brands of hand warmers available at Walgreen's.
If he wants so-called medical coverage included as part of his employment, well, we do have the money for that. Sorry, Edwin.
-
Isn't there a doctor in town that can help him out?

DATELINE: Cicely, AK
With temps hitting -16°F in Cicely, Alaska this morning, closer extraordinaire Edwin Díaz has submitted a formal trade request to the Marmot Front Office.
"This is bullshit, man. I can't even feel my hands, how am I supposed to throw in this?!".
When reached for comment, the Cicely GM said "All Marmot players receive a complimentary box of HotHands™ brand hand warmers. Edwin Díaz signed for his."

Don't worry, there will be plenty of Rob Refsnyders and Travis Jankowskis available for us bargain shoppers at the Ottoneu Draft Day Flea Market. I will have like 74 cents to spend that fine evening. That should afford me one Bartolo Colon leg.

I’m going to need to fill some spots on the cheap so that auction will be very welcomed.

If I could post a gif here, it would be the Robert Redford/Jeremiah Johnson one where he's looking over his shoulder, nodding his head in proud approval. You guys and all these trades... /nods head while grinning

I'm enjoying this. There have been more trades in the last week than there were in the first five seasons of this league. (Or at least it seems that way.)

15 years and $765M?! I didn’t see the terms, but I hope they deferred a good chunk of that money on July 1 so my great-great-great-grandchildren can celebrate Juan Soto Day.

CICELY, AK
Freddy Peralta has formally issued a trade request from the Cicely Marmots, the latest in a series of players wanting to leave the frigid cold of the Alaskan Riviera. “How am I supposed to pitch if I can’t feel my damn hands?” Peralta quipped.
Ottoneu insider Jeff Passan indicates the Marmots would be looking for salary relief and would be open to prospects or high-leverage relievers in exchange for Peralta and his 200 strikeouts.

Just updated the OLE TRADE BLOCK if anybody wants to wheel and deal a bit before we get locked in. Trying to pick up a strong catcher, or some OF help.

You can make whatever cuts you want until Jan 31, then you're locked in.

When cutting players is it only 1 round? Or if I decide after that initial round to cut more players is there a penalty?

Hey, you teams with four shorstops, let's make a trade! The window has been open for like 3 days now. I've got the shakes already!
-
I think I peer-pressured Raleigh into coming back...
-
I know Raleigh in real life. I didn't want to text him before yesterday lest he hit poor Paul Skenes with another $3. But I'll text him today!
-
Not allocating Ottoneu arb dollars is a federal offense punishable by 10-12 years in prison and a $50,000 fine. Are Swan and Raleigh coming back? Do we need to find owners?

Arbitration is done. You have until January 31 to make trades and cuts. (No auctions until the draft though.)

Hi everybody, arbitration starts today! Figure out which teams are getting away with paying players too little, and soak them for it!

Thanks! My team got so hot I feel like it ruined a close race. I'll take some credit for grinding myself into position, but these hot (and cold) streaks are beyond our control. It's a fun league and I hope everyone comes back. A 1-1 split in the double header seems likely, since whoever wins game 1 will need to prioritize their own pitching staff over Arizona's hopes. Go Mets!

Congrats Stuff! Well deserved after that crazy late surge

(PS I can't use 1B or Util today, so I have no doubt that Alonso will hit six home runs.)

I think it's fair to call this for Stuff, who had a monstrous last three weeks to put this away. I believe arbitration starts tomorrow, so Cecily will have to wait until that process is finished before making any trades. Congratulations to the champion, and thank you to everybody for making this league so much fun!

“Just a complete organizational failure this year. We’re going to reevaluate things moving forward and see what we need to fix.”
