Iβve been meaning to post a magazine story I wrote a couple months ago that I thought you guys might like because itβs tangentially related to sports. https://www.5280.com/why-did-walter-springs-die/

As part of a trade to get a high 1st round pick, I may be willing to part with Mookie, Bieber or Luis Robert.
Looking for pitching + 1st round pick.
Let me know if any of those names interest you!
-
Looking to add a 1st round draft pick. Let me know if youβre interested!
-
Iβd entertain offers for Mookie or Luis Robert. Looking for MI, 1B and 3B help

Rocchio and Harris have been removed from Giants MiLB roster leaving them as FA for MiLB or MLB draft. With the Jordan Walker trade earlier, Giants have 2 MiLB on their roster (Daniel Espino and Coby Mayo) and 3 open slots
-
If you acquire more draft picks than you have remaining slots, then there'll just be a draft slot that doesn't get used in the draft.
I hope that clears it up a bit, but please reach out to me with any questions/concerns.
-
Let me see if this answers your question, I'll try to make it as simple as possible.
There are 5 rounds of the draft, so you start with 5 draft slots. If you are keeping 5 MiLB players, now you have 0 draft slots/rights to draft anyone OR trade that pick. If you keep 2 MiLB players, and thus have 3 draft picks, you can trade those 3, but unless you get a draft pick in return (either that trade or another) you are just down to 2 draft picks.
-
Just so that I am clear on how trading picks in the MiLB draft would work, I would like to throw out two scenarios. I currently have three openings on my MiLB. So I would get picks in rounds 1, 2 and 3. If I trade for a first round pick would I get picks in rounds 1 (mine), 1 (theirs) and 2? If I trade away a first round pick would I get picks in round 2, 3 and 4? My understanding is that you have 'rights' to picks and can exercise those rights until you have five players on your MiLB roster.
-
Please drop Brayan Rocchio and Dustin Harris from my MiLB.
-
Dumping Xavier Edwards from my MiLB roster.
-
The Turkeys have also given the unfortunate news of cutting Asa Lacy. He is now a free agent and eligible for both MLB and MiLB draft. He makes a mean meatloaf, so consider that when you are drafting.
-
After acquiring Jordan Walker, I am promoting him to the MLB squad for $1. After being told of the news, Mr. Walker was relieved and mentioned this was why he demanded a trade from the Thunder Bay Giants.
-
The trade block is reset for myself. Willing to deal with anyone for the right pieces. Looking to upgrade C and 3B
-
Looking to add draft picks and/or move up in the 1st round. Let me know who's interested in trading a pick for a player!
-
If you've got budget in your 2023 roster, I'm willing to entertain trades for Acuna and/or Bieber. Send ideas over! Let's get this hot stove started!
-
Hi everybody! Happy to join this league and rebuild this roster. I've been playing ottoneu for a few years and have way too many teams. Always happy to talk trades!
-
Excited to announce our league is once again full, one big happy (dysfunctional) family! Our newest manager is Leif who has Ottoneu experience and will be taking over the team previously known as South Park Cows. Please welcome Leif.
Also, arbitration is due Monday, for those who haven't done that yet, please do so by the deadline!
-
Hi all! My name's Mike, I'm based in Lviv, Ukraine and following baseball for just 2 yrs now. Feel free to DM me here (or on Slack) if you want to discuss trades or just chat

Team Funky Cold Molina has a new manager. We are putting the "World Wide" back in the league name as he joins us from Ukraine!
-
Still have 2 openings with very few leads. Just resorted to posting on Reddit to find owners.
If you know anyone whoβs interested, please message me ASAP
-
Still waiting to hear back from one owner, but I do know we will have at least one more team to fill with the South Park Cows leaving us. If you have any referrals, please send them my way.
Also arbitration has started, so please get your allocations in before November 14. We will do arb coupons after that.
Thanks all!

That's by far the most creative way to announce your return!

You like that $300 Rocker bid? Also, I'm a journalist. Jukt is famous. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelnoer/2014/11/12/read-the-original-forbes-takedown-of-stephen-glass/?sh=7b0d82f9683a

I'll be back next season.

Congrats to the Turkeys on running away with the league. And congrats to Jukt Micronics, if that is your real name, on a winning Kumar bid.
-
Iβll be back!

Definitely returning
-
One of the first things I like to do in the start of the off-season is get an understanding of who is returning. So if you know either way, please let me know on message board so I can keep track. A simple Yay or Nay will do, and if you'd prefer to do privately - send me a DM. I'll give everyone a week or so to respond.
Thanks!
-
Thank you for the message and the season-long effort, even when you knew you were leaving at the end of the year. I am pretty sure I have someone lined up for this vacancy, but I'll keep everyone posted.
I'll likely have a wrap up email in the upcoming days where we can discuss possible changes, but until then everyone enjoy the last game of the regular season!
-
Thanks for allowing me to join your league over the past 3 years. I am leaving after this year because I do not like that significant salary cap differences can exist early in the year altering significantly the competitive environment. This concern does not match the desires of this league. I will not load up like that, so, it is time for me to depart. I hope that you respect that I finished the league (in 2nd) despite knowing that I was leaving. Wishing you all fair winds and fair balls..

Yoooooooooooooooooo.
-
Got my leagues mixed up - I thought it was the rule in both leagues I am commissioner, but I don't see any rules in the writing in the league charter. Please bid all your money on Kumar Rocker. Or whatever you'd like.
Thanks for the heads up Mr. Sanchez!
-
Are we sure about that? Jack Leiter was added to a roster in 2021, the same year he was drafted.
-
Please do not bid on Kumar Rocker. 2022 MLB Draftees are not allowed to be put up for auction until after the MiLB draft. Once that auction is over, I will remove the player from that team with no cap penalty. I apologize if this was not made more clear earlier.
Thanks

Gunnar Henderson promoted, Get Up..gone!!! needs to make roster move to get under legal limit.
-
I'm open for business.
-
Happy Trade Deadline Day!
-
Garrett Mitchell added to Austin Jackalopes roster with his callup. No further moves needed as team remains legal.
-
Cade Cavalli added to Bang the Drum Slowly's roster prior to his callup and start tomorrow. No further moves needed as the team remains legal size.
-
Reminder that the trade deadline is next Wednesday August 31. Last chance to make trades until after the season! Update those trade blocks and send some offers over to your fellow managers!
-
Garett Mitchell OTB. Plus others
-
I'm making moves to see how close I can get to Richfield. Make me an offer for my young guys. I need major point-earners. Hit me up.
-
5MiLB spreadsheet is updated, several players were already added, just not noted on the spreadsheet. But I did add those who needed to be added. Please let me know if I missed anyone.
-
I'd love to acquire all your high-priced, non-keeper players. Inquire within.
