Looks like Fake History has scored the criminal closer trifecta now with Chapman, Osuna, and Vazquez.

A truly impressive line by Fiers, a guy who somehow earlier through a no-hitter this season!

Never seen a player drop a negative 75 before.

Should be a great stretch run!
-
This has to be one of the closest 1st place races in the Otto universe
-
Hoskins is avail for a comparable middle infielder.
-
Highly motivated seller. Machado, Murphy, Maeda, and lots of other guys whose names don’t start with M.

Sad to hear about Rob.
If anyone is interested I'd highly recommend looking up some of his work. He did a lot of valuable statistical work that helped underpin a lot of great baseball articles over the years.
-
Thanks for sharing that.
-
Mention of Rob on the podcast starts at around 1:27:00.

Very sad to hear about Rob. He seemed like a nice guy. Here's a link to the Effectively Wild podcast which paid tribute to Rob. Apparently, he was a noted statistician at Baseball Prospectus.

I’ve been made aware that the owners of Farmer’s Market has passed away a few weeks ago. The team is going to be marked abandoned. His name was Rob. He was a Cubs fan from Springfield.
-
It's a guaranteed contract, so he gets paid. Angels probably insured for the loss.

Honest question: does anyone know if a major league team continues to pay a players salary after he passes?
-
Obviously I'm a bit biased since I just traded for him a couple of weeks ago, but if keeping it a normal cut is more consistent with what's been done in the past then let's go with that. I've got plenty of cap space so I don't mind either way really.

An in-season death or retirement is obviously different than an injury, and it just makes more sense to afford it special consideration. But either way we're only talking $5.
-
That person will be me then
-
You’re right. There were six games left in the season. As I said, if one owner objects we can keep it as a regular cut.
-
Fernandez happened during the regular season. Remember Dee Gordon's leadoff homer the next game wearing the number 16?
-
Those both occurred during the off-season if I recall correctly. If one person has an issue, we can leave it as a normal cut.
-
I think a player passing should be a penalty free cut
-
I can't remember any league of mine doing such a thing for other active players that have passed (JoFer, Taveras, etc)
-
I'm ok with that.

Yeah, I think that's fair.
-
Hey everyone, I wanted to see if anyone had an opinion on making Tyler Skaggs a penalty free cut. I kind of feel the death of a player in season is a special circumstance. Thoughts?
-
Time for "Snell's Team" to change their name. I should have made a play for Snell with the new ownership. LOL :) Snell's a megastar. Well, when he's not walking the world, he is.
-
Hey, the owner of Snell’s Team is bowing out for health reasons. If anyone knows anyone interested in joining, let me know.
-
Looking to flip some hitting for some SP help.

Just an FYI, I’ll be out of the country for the next week and internet access will be spotty.

I'm probably going to cut the recently-hot Yasiel Puig today, if anyone wants to trade for him first. Make me an offer. He doesn't seem like he'll be worth his salary, but still might be very productive.

Hi all, happy to join your league. Everyone's available, as I'm 1000 points out. Hit me up!
-
Alright, we have new owner. Thanks to Albert for the years of completion.
-
I put it out on Slack. If anyone knows anybody, let me know.
-
Hey all! I hate to say it but I've pretty much lost interest in my team (even though they are certainly going to rally this year). Can any of the commissioners put feelers out to see if anyone is interested in taking it over? I'll continue to set my lineups and such until then. It's been a pleasure playing in such a competitive league with all of you.
