I wouldn't wait long for Clean Slate. That team has a lot of cap space and roster space. It'll be a skewed draft without that team in the mix.
-
Clean Slate did not renew. The owner has just adopted the team recently, so maybe he just forgot. I’d like to be patient, but we need a new owner before the draft. I’ll email him. If we don’t hear back by this weekend I will post for new owners again.
-
I've been doing this for quite awhile now with four teams. Once the draft date is set, it is pretty much set in stone.

1: Not set in stone, but it is impossible to find a date/time that works perfectly for everyone, and we have had it set for a long tome, so unless it is a huge problem let’s try to keep the draft as set. 2: Ottoneu’s platform. 3: Live. 4: Yes, a hot dog is definitely a sandwich.
-
That draft date set in stone? Or is it flexible?
Also, couch managers or ottoneu's platform? Live or slow? Is a hotdog a sandwich?
-
This should be an exciting auction. I don't remember the last time we had this many quality players available.
-
FWTBT renewed, but missed the cut deadline. I think it is fair to give him a free round of cuts.
-
Also, FWTBT is the only illegal roster. Rosters freeze tonight. I’ll assume if FWTBT has not renewed and made his cuts, we should abandon the team and get a new owner onboard.
-
I have no idea why that message posted 3 times.
-
Only 2 hold-outs for renewal: Clean Slate and For Whom the Bellinger Tolls. Midnight tonight is the deadline.

I assume Senzel, being worth not a single trade offer) will sell for less than $11 in the draft 😡
-
Unsurprisingly it turns out I will cut Senzel after all. If anybody values him at his current salary, he is yours. Otherwise we will see him in the draft.
-
I'll jump in. Sano, Machado, anyone on my squad whose name ends in "o".
-
Squints eyes...nobody call their bluff
-
Same thing for me with Alex Bregman, Nick Senzel and Joey Bart.
-
Before the deadline I have Aroldis Chapman ($24) and Andrew Benintendi ($14) who I am not cutting and would be happy to keep on my team, but will trade to someone to save some salary if anyone is interested.
-
Brandon Lowe is getting moved today.
-
Halfway there. 6 teams still need to renew.
-
How are we looking for dues commish?
-
Nobody inducted to the Hall of Fame this year. What a weird situation the Hall has become.
-
My guess is 85 to 100 players will be cut the next 4 days.
-
The draft should be more interesting this year. Looks like more high end talent than most years.
-
Fresh start indeed!

Remember to renew your teams by the end of the month. We have 6 teams that need to be renewed. Keeper deadline is also 1/31 so don’t forget to make your cuts. Rosters freeze on 1/31 until the draft.
-
Welcome onboard to the new Clean Slate!
-
New name, new plan, new roster. (In progress).
-
I'm going to cut Bryce Harper, Giancarlo Stanton, Wilson Conteras, and Max Scherzer by Sunday. They can be yours if you want them. I made dumb trades all winter but I want to start fresh. Probably with more dumb trades. I never said I was good at this.
-
You can do the math. Now couple that with other investments like restaurants and hotels, Tom Rickets has to be taking a bath on his Cubs ownership right now.

Some teams can get by with TV contracts. I’m not sure about the high salaried teams. $100m/per year bottom line was extremely rare, especially after the competitive balance tax. I know the Cubs are missing out on at least $200-300m in high margin gate revenue. Let’s fir argument sake say that translates to a $100m net profit. On a good year the Cubs were netting $60-$80m per which put them in the top 3 in the mlb.

Daily new cases has gone down from 350-400k per day to 150-200k. The death rate has gone up because total active cases remain high. Administered vaccine shots in the U.S.are up to 1 million/day, 21 million given so far. I think it is safe to say, for this virus, it is downhill going forward.

Majors can get by for now on tv money but I think minors might be screwed again. All the news talks about the virus getting worse not better. I just want some baseball.
-
Anybody heard news about whether minor league ball will be played this year?
-
Everybody who is interested send your best offers on Glasnow, Contreras or Stanton. I need to clear cap space but only if I can get something useful.
-
I need to clear some salary. I can cut a couple players but if there are takers I'd rather get something back even if its not much.
-
I posted Clean Slate on the “owners wanted” section of the community forum. If anybody knows good owners in other leagues, please let them know we have a vacant team in need of adoption.
-
Let's try this again, blocks updated - accepting all offers
-
Hopefully he gets back onboard quickly and we can find another owner for Clean Slate.
-
I had to mark Clean Slate as “abandoned” so the new owner can claim the Lumberjacks.
-
Yeah I’m all over that as long as nobody objects.

Lumberjacks are definitely gone. I would let Detroit switch. Both teams are available. He should get his preference.
-
Detroit, if the Lumberjacks are indeed abandoned, i’ll switch you.

Yes Lumberjacks are out.
-
Was I supposed to abandon the Lumberjacks?

This maybe silly at this point, but I see the Lumberjacks would be vacated soon. Any chance I can jump ship to that team instead?

Good with me.
-
Yes I agree. The cut players should be restored at their pre cut salaries.
-
cool with me

I'm cool with that. I would like to have a total of six owners confirm that this ok with them as well. I don't want to unilaterally make decisions for the league unless absolutely necessary.
