Right now 27th and 29th nights are booked for me. Open to anything until my other leagues set a date.
-
That is 9PM EST
-
We should start discussing auction nights soon. Sunday, Monday, and Thursday nights are best for me...likely 9PM or later. I might start throwing out some dates/times to see if something sticks...hoping to avoid a poll.
-
I’m looking forward to it Mississippi.

Glad to see no invalid rosters. Dirtbags - prepare for a fair number of bid wars with me.
-
I will be out of contact with internet from about 6pm to 7pm est. If you send me an offer please be patient and I will get back with you as quickly as I can. Thanks.
-
I don't do final cuts until an hour or so before deadline - still time to make offers.
-
Are you a Freeman or Betts short? Both can be had

I accidentally cut Stassi. I’m angling to keep him!

Open for business for those last-minute trade offers. Thanks.

Looking to trade one of Greene/kirby for a $20-30 youngish player. I’ll listen to any and all offers tho.
-
It has been stated on the community board that those that run the Ottoneu system (not our commish) will NOT be extending the keeper deadline any further - the 15th is final. This is because some leagues still want to hold their draft in mid-late February. The system will not allow drafts to occur until after the keeper deadline. Again, the commish has no control over the deadline. Just giving owners a heads up in case you were holding off on trade deals thinking the deadline would be extended.

Welcome Mississippi Riversnakes! This has been a fun league the past year and there are numerous teams with great cores built up. I really expect a competitive, exciting season assuming the lockout doesn't ruin everything like Iowa said!

Some added info about me. I love the big deal (4+ players on both sides), a have an unhealthy need to own closers, and I a strongly dislike the Yankees (so don't offer me any :)). I also start trade conversations differently than most other owners. I tend not to guess what an owner is looking for in a deal, so my initial offers are only intended to give the owner a list of interest players - nothing more. All I ask is a counter with a similar list for me to work off of or message me. Thanks.

Welcome to the league Dirtbags and Mississippi! We've had a solid league going here for the last decade. A few of us have been here through the duration, including our commish Touch 'em All Joe. Walnut has a pretty stacked team built around the ridiculous trio of Acuna, Tatis, and Soto and he took the crown last year, but there are a few teams ready to make a run this year. Plus, Tatis's arm is going to fall off this season. Should be fun if this fucking lock out ever ends.
-
Welcome
-
Hi all. I just claimed Boppers and paid the fee if that is ok. I'm in other leagues with a few of you as well. I am very trade active so I will be resetting my block shortly. This should be fun.
-
Welcome to the league Dirtbags, glad to have you!

Welcome Dirtbags

Hey everyone. I just grabbed one of your abandoned teams and am pretty much blowing up the entire roster. If you have interest in anyone, please feel free to send an offer.

Makes sense, hard to make some valuations with big free agents still out there looking for new deals. Hopefully MLB will get their act together and put an end to this soon.

In case you missed it - the keeper deadline has been moved back and Niv might move it back again if the lockout is still on in mid-Feb - from SLACK: "I’ve moved the keeper deadline from 11:59p ET on 1/31 to 11:59p ET on 2/15. This should be reflected on every league’s Tools page, where you can see the league calendar."

I will complete arbitration, but unfortunately will not be renewing next year. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey League - Reminder that arbitration ends Sunday, November 14. There's still 4 teams that haven't allocated.
-
Thank you! I play 1870’s style baseball at Living History Farms in Urbandale IA and that is the home team name they use. I like history and baseball both! Looking forward to the offseason as well, trades and roster construction are at least half the fun for me.

Congrats on the win - and great Iowa-centric name change. Reminds me of Kinsella's Iowa Baseball Confederacy. I know I'm not the only one hoping to make it a bit more competitive next year. Personally, I'm banking on Jose Miranda turning into Rafael Devers and bringing a championship to both me and the Twins. I feel like the league is in a pretty good state currently with strong teams and good owners. Hope to see everyone back and for a lively off season. I know I'm looking for some trades.
-
Thank you Paranoid Android. You as well as others have some killer talent and I think it will be a very competitive season next year. I can’t take much credit for this year since I inherited a great roster but am glad I didn’t screw it up the last few months! Sincere thanks for the congrats and looking forward to a good offseason!

I have finally given into the idea that I will not catch Walnut Hill Bluestockings this year. Try as I might he just built up too much of a lead. He has a killer team, and did this with a crappy version of Yelich and Acuna sidelined for much of the year. Congrats Walnut Hill Bluestockings - well played!
-
Feel free to trade me of your good players on blacked out team.
-
Yeah the blackouts here are ridiculous. Even in Des Moines the closest major league team is over 3 hours away (Royals). Crazy our state is blacked out from watching 20% of the teams which means we could have up to 40% of the games on a given day blacked out.

Nice moment for Iowa and a great finish - also was a good opportunity to remind the commissioner about how he and the MLB owners screwed over every single MLB baseball fan in IA with its blackout restriction policy.

Hey all, just claimed this team and happy to be in the league. Played in FG Pts format a few years ago but newer to 5x5 format. Not too attached to a lot of my players but do plan to not move my position player stars. Any interest in talking trades (even challenge trades for the same position like SP for SP etc) feel free to reach out. Thanks!
-
Yeah that is the strangest thing to happen in this league’s history.
-
No offense intended to Wong or Gore, but why get so upset about a trade between 2 of the bottom teams that trying to improve their teams when you are in first by 26 points? In the end, Gore got a player he liked in Edman and Wong got a cheaper Trout. Rendon and Blackmon were unkeepable collateral damage. In my view, both teams improved. Trout was re-acquired in a legit auction that I bid fairly aggressively in. In fact, Kid bid in that auction.
-
WTF
-
Guys, this was the strategy all along. I couldn’t win so I went for the long con so I could claim his team and abandon mine and win the whole thing!!! Just kidding, appreciate the support folks! That was a first for me seeing a reaction like that…
-
Well...I explained my rationale for not intervening on the trade or subsequent auction. Kids etc was adamant in the decision to take his ball and go home. He quit in 3 leagues I am involved in, so it seems that maybe I am the problem? Oh well...if you know of anyone wanting to take over a first place team...point them here.
-
It seemed to me to be a shifting around of over-priced vets between 2 teams. A $77 Trout is injured with no clear timeline for returning. A $34 Rendon and $31 Blackmon have been largely worthless this year. At those prices, none of the 3 are keepable. For next year, Edman is probably the only keepable player, since he is in the top 5 in the MLB in SB's. Trout was re-auctioned in a legit auction. I bid as aggressively as I could at $55 for an injured Trout without disrupting the rest of roster.
-
While the trade transaction w Trout was odd, it was pretty clear to me that Gore was valuing cap and money which is a legit grounds for trade. Regarding Kids’s note - None of this involved a waiver claim. Trout was was re-auctioned and that was a legit auction. The fact that there was a fair auction for Trout weakens any claim that there was any kind of collusion which is of course impossible to prove so I’m cool with this. Pricey vets get offloaded often in Ottoneu.
-
Hey Commish, please remove me from this league. Not going to play with this type of activity and don't have the energy to fight it.
-
i call BS, trade and then both managers drop the key player in the deal, while keeping a utility IF? then a waiver claim so the original team can bid on Trout?
-
Dude wanted to move Trout and I wanted Edman, made it easy to get some free cap. Not going to say no to that. If he had the foresight to predict my cut then kudos to him!
-
I have an issue with the trade of Trout and then the owner that traded him gets him back on waivers, this appears like it was intentionally done. Commissioner, this waiver claim needs to be reversed.
-
Willing to move my top price hitters. Looking for keepers at any position.
-
Yup. The struggle is real this year. I have teams with 10-11 guys on the IL. I have a draft-and-hold team, where I drafted 12 SPs and currently only have 4 healthy.
-
I now have 6 outfielders on the IL
-
I don't see many players on the trade block so i'll just post this here. Im looking to add some hitting and have a lot of cheap/youngish pitching as well as prospects. looking for preferably young but mainly impact bats. Yall reach out if you have any interest
-
Oh wow that’s wild I was a student at that time lol
-
Speaking of Ole Miss bb - my wife was a visiting prof there in 13-14 and we got to watch their World Series run w guys like Ellis and Bortles little bro. I tutored athletes and had Wyatt Short who is doing fine w the Cubs. Said his hero is Tim Collins. Lot of fun going to games. Less fun when some frat bros hung a noose on James Meredith...
