I have more pitchers and some bats I’d like to move before the deadline. Talk to me.
-
Exactly right, teams are all valuing players differently and we never know how it will turn out. Let’s say Clase got sent down to the minors tomorrow and gator offers you tatis and bregman for Gaddis, are you accepting? I seriously doubt it

I've gotten much better at letting trades slide that are unbalanced in my eyes, because we all have biases. But there are some that are so blatantly lopsided they can't be ignored. And it doesn't matter whether there was intentional collusion or not. I don't believe this was malicious. Irresponsible trades by 2 teams that upset the competitive balance in the whole league are bad for the whole league. This trade sets a horrible precedent and owners should veto it.
-
I think that's the proper approach to take, Coco. Agree that there are definitely unnecessary players in the deal, and the return looks light especially compared to other offers that have been out there, but if there's no collusion the veto process needs to play out.
-
Agree with most of the sentiment here, though I generally still believe that trades shouldn’t be vetoed unless there is obvious collusion. As the person most negatively impacted by this trade, I don’t really see that there is obvious collusion.
To A Frauds point, Gator did probably get the best keeper, though I question why Cortes and Bregman needed to be involved.
I’m not going to unilaterally veto the trade, if it gets enough votes then so be it.
-
I’m voting to veto. That said, there’s one player in that trade that would go for a higher price at auction next year.. and it’s the one gator is getting

Also if you drill it down. Mercury has 50 innings left, tatis a couple games, and bregman.

Veto the trade
-
Honestly, it makes me feel better about the trade offers I send out. After they get rejected, I’m like “Yeah, that was bad I shouldn’t have offered that.”
But I’ve offered the moon and stars for some players and still got nothing. Let’s keep it fun!
-
What is the defense for trading a closer/reliever for those 4 players "Well, no one was going to give me anything for them."? There IS no defense. Trades like this ruin the integrity of leagues. It's insulting and angering that it was even offered, never mind it was thought to be OK by both parties. Gator offered me Tatis ALONE for Skenes! And now he gives up Tatis AND 3 useful players for a RP?! Shameful. This requires a commissioner veto.
-
Bullshit. All bullshit. It's not about if you can keep the guy. You a fucking kamala the butcher voter too?
-
I accepted the trade because Tatis I’m not keeping and wanted to get something for him since he will play a couple games in September. The other people I wasn’t keeping. So it really was trading a bunch of non keepers for a keeper.

I’d like to hear Gator’s point of view as to why he accepted the (very lopsided) deal.
-
Veto these trades. It's bullshit
-
WTF is the deal with that trade? That's a great way to try and ruin the league.
-
I have several players I’m looking to move to contenders and those rebuilding ahead of the deadline. Let’s make some moves!
-
Tatis is on the block!

I’ve updated my trading block. Other players can be available for the right price, but I’m less inclined to deal players not on that list.
Ideally, I’d like to give 2-1, 3-2 etc where I give up more players than I receive even if it’s somewhat of an overpay on my part.
I’ve offered Strider to several owners, but only in deals involving top 20-25 players in the game.
-
Inversely, I am looking to buy. Send over any offers!
-
FIRE SALE THRU 8/31: Team Deuce is finally ready to throw in the towel and play for next year. Skubal and Yordan are the only players relatively unavailable (but when it comes down to it, everybody has a price). Feel free to message or send offers if anybody is of interest to you!

Coco comin in hot!

Someone that needs SP come get Lugo already. I know the White Sox are a AA team, but another 65+ points today. Top 10 scoring SP, and he’s cheap. Let’s get him on a contender already.
-
Looks like Trade SZN is upon us. I have several players I’m looking to move as I focus on reloading for next year.
-
Congrats on Acuna, Moniak! Now what am I supposed to do with all this extra cap space I have?
-
I’m looking for offense—OF is a priority, and then MI—but open to all types.
Willing to move plenty of keepers to acquire.
-
Mercury has got it bad for JHM!
-
Looking to trade SPs as I build for next season...I have 23 (lol) on my roster, and all are on the table for the right price.
-
I’ll entertain offers for Edwin Diaz, but I’m also inclined to keep him for next season.
-
Interested in moving some arms (and possibly more) for your bench bats. Shoot me some offers.
-
Anyone else up to redraft these teams? These pitcher injuries are out of control. I’m running out of duct tape fast.
-
It was time. And if Texas can change his name, so can I. The name was too good to pass up and not having him on my team is better than having him on my team!
-
End of an era with the smelly pirate hooker name change. Looking to spark a new dynasty? Doesn’t even have Moniak!!

I played once as well. I can’t really speak to the strategy, not sure if you’re supposed to add guys before a month starts or something.. I lost after the 2nd month

I played last year with a team in a different league (The Tunnicliff Inn). I made it in to the payout level of a free tshirt :) but I didn’t cash beyond that. It’s a fun wrinkle to the Otto season to put some pretty material prize money in play.
-
Has anyone here participated in the Ottoneu Prestige League? Looking for feedback on it.
-
Those $1 steals only happen when you keep losing auction after auction until there's nobody left. Still was a fun draft though!
-
Hi all - congrats to making it through the draft and to Pepper for his $1 steals at the end. Everyone’s roster should now be imported - please let me know if you see something with your team that is amiss. Otherwise, great draft and really looking forward to seeing automated Ottoneu emails populating my inbox again!
-
Ah I had to turn the phone long ways. Thank you!
-
Sorry “swipe left.” It’s to the right a couple spots of “auctions”
-
If you’ll look at the bottom, swipe to the right and you’ll see a “players” button. You can click and nominate them from there
-
Maybe I am missing it but how do we nominate on a mobile device?
-
Alright, we’re live! Website was giving me a weird message but it seems that I was able to nominate someone. Go ahead and start nominating and bidding, and if we run into any troubles happy to pause the draft to work out the kinks
-
Yes. “spent+pending” will never be able to go over your budget

Clarification question for this draft:
Since up to 36 players can be auctioned at a time, are we going to be hamstrung some by the "spent + pending" and what we have remaining? For example, say I'm the active high bid on Mookie, but also want to bid on Burnes, Trea, and Trout in case I lose out on Mookie. Will this system keep me from bidding on other players until I'm outbid on Mookie, thus freeing up money in my "spent + pending"?
-
I’ve uploaded the rosters to Couch Managers - please check that your roster is accurate. I will start the auction on Saturday morning, if that doesn’t work for anyone please post here.
-
Nah, couch managers is very intuitive and you can set max bids on guys and then move on if you do not get them. I believe :-)
-
We’re less than 3 weeks away from the first games March 20th. This is my first slow auction draft so I’m sure I’m going to screw something up.
-
At least at the beginning of the draft it's probably good to have all three of your nominations out at once due to time constraints. This draft will probably take at least two weeks, if not longer. If memory serves from the last time we did this, we upped the total nominations to 5 towards the end of the draft just to get it done, because we were in danger of not finishing by opening day.
-
Correct. I don’t believe it’s required to have a guy nominated at all times but it does make it move a lot quicker.. 36 guys at once though will be a lot
