Yeah verlander this from a guy who 1- never shows up for draft in multiple years which is bad for the league 2-incurs the highest level of cap penalties which is bound for failure 3-questions why an owner does not want to trade if the trades were good offers 4-will always be at the bottom of the standings

So to summarize, Eric:
A.) Misinterprets the rules of Ottoneu, ridicules several owners and the commish, no apology later
B.) Refuses to cooperate or trade with anyone in the league
C.) Considers every trade to be a case of collusion, vetoes repeatedly
And now
D.) Wants us to vote for him to be our new commissioner

I am in favor of a vote, in the offseason

Of course grey agrees but a vote should be taken to remove his as commish next year. He obviously has his favorites like hell

Seems fair to me. The league apparently agrees.

Maybe we can work out a deal, Eric. Make me an offer sometime. I gave you my phone number. Thought we could turn over a new leaf. But I don't take kindly to questions of my character. My wish is for you to have a good day.

Well the commish could have resolved this but didnt care. What exactly has he done?

Does anyone else have concerns about the ethics of the trade? Let's get back to the real topic that I needlessly wandered away from.
I see each teams reasoning, I think Rhys is the best player in the trade but Bell looks like his numbers could be real. Riley is striking out a ton (32.9%!!), it will be hard to maintain this clip!

And about a vote for commissioner, I don't believe Fifty suggested an election. He did ask for a long standing member to take the reigns.

And there I go, talking about the draft again. Sorry.

Honestly, it was really frustrating and made the league less fun to have the arguments going on and on. Especially in the draft. I know it was distracting to me. Then to have it continue into the season...
At some point, the commish needs to make a choice and we all live with it. Then, if the league decides to have a different commish in the offseason, so be it. As you've said, he is open to having a vote.

I took risk and traded away a bankable asset.
My return in that trade could evaporate overnight. If it does, it probably affects my season.
But, if riley and bell keep it up, I get a good shot of outpacing Rhys and Tapia. While getting a couple nice studs to continue to build around.
It's typical to consider the salary in trades. A loan(partial or full) to a manager taking on salary is almost always the case.
No, t's not shady, as you characterized it, in my inbox. Just ottoneu dot calm.

He also said if I send one message out again. He would kick me out of the league like he did with a few other owners in the past. Wonder why commish?

Well every time I spoke up the commish would tell me to shut up most times for simply making statements. 2 owners actually said he was wrong in private dms. If the commish would try to resolve this I would Make transactions. Not sure why we even have a commish anyways since either 1-he plays favorites or 2. He is never around. Maybe we pay $10 to have someone set up the draft or do it ourselves and have no commish. Commish has never liked me from day 1 and has made no effort to resolve .

I've never seen someone have so many objections to literally any transaction. The draft was a long time ago. I know you were upset about how that went down, and that's fine (we definitely don't need to go back down that road)... but it's been almost 3 months now.
I really don't mean to make this about you, I appreciate that you are active and I like some of the conversations that ultimately get started... I wish you were open to trades, I'd like to make some offers for a few of your guys.

I'm being honest with my opinion so if that offends you sorry. Just voicing concern and that's my right. Never seen this go on in any other league I've been in.

Because I see these trades go down that make no sense. Never seen a 2nd and 4th place team works deals. Bell is at $3 and was a top prospect and riley is at $2 and is a highly rated prospect who is not underperforming. Hoskins is at $17 and teams always help each other out with salary. Why? If Hoskins is that great then make the owner pay. We also have a commish who has his own rules for each owner and never seem to get involved wo have to wonder what is really going on here.

It seems you assume everyone is up to something, and I am curious, why? There are so many factors that go into a trade, it's not always who's cheaper or younger or better. Rhys has a much higher floor than either Bell or Riley. Rhys is the more proven player, and on a decent contract (not as cheap as the others, but still reasonable).
I just think a more thoughtful discussion could be had if we asked questions before jumping to (frankly, ridiculous) conclusions.

It’s pretty simple - I think Bell and Riley are way overperforming and will regress significantly. Bells never been over 4.92 ppg for a season. Hoskins is a lock for 6.5ppg+ and has positional flexibility. Oh and he is underpriced.

Why is a 4th place team helping out a 2nd place team and make his team worse? Think an explanation is owed

Why is suspects giving up 2 studs for free and taking on salary?bell has been just as good as Hoskins and is $14 cheaper and gives up Riley for $3?

Please very suspicious, if you let hells get this deal don’t get mad if you don’t win. You had a chance to veto.

In reviewing my rejected trades history, I could have had Austin Riley (along with others) in two separate deals (with then-owner Hittin Ugly Finders) where the price was Mallex Smith in one and Teoscar Hernandez in another. If I could turn back time! I'm happy with the deal as it stands, just sort of funny to look back.
