Looking to add OF and SP. Have a lot of top tier prospects I'm willing to discuss
-
Haha yes she will be driving. And thanks!
-
Hope the wife will be driving.....yes it isn't bad, the only thing is the boxes for nominations and bidding are a little small, you make the screen bigger then you lose other stuff on the screen, so watch out for that GL
-
Looking forward to it. Has anyone ever used the draft software on their phone before? I’ll be driving home from a weekend vacation with the fam. So the first bit I’ll be on my phone (possibly).
-
Draft tomorrow night 7 est! We will probably take a few 10 minutes breaks throughout the draft (8:15,9:30). Can’t wait for the season to start!
-
That time and date should work for me. I will be out of town the 3rd-5th, but I should be back by then.
-
7 pm ET is good for me, or 1015+, but like I said below, I will make whatever work the best I can!
-
Milwaukee Best never renewed his team despite all the moves he made I reached out and never got a reply back so we need one owner (if anyone knows someone let me know) With regards to draft time would 8 o’clock EST be better for you? No one said that the date didn’t work so I’m sticking with the 5th. Thanks!
-
Haha, I have a 6 month old that goes to bed at 645 pt, and 2.5 year old that goes to bed at 715 pt so later is tough for me. That being said, will do my best to make whatever we end up with work.
-
Any chance we could do it later in the evening? I have a 10 month old that goes to bed around 7:30 PM cst. So it would be better for me if we could do like 8:30 est (if that’s possible for everyone else). The 5th is good for me though.
-
A couple of people reached out and said they couldn’t do March 12th for the auction draft. I’ve moved the draft up one week to the 5th at the same time 7 est. Thanks HYG

Welcome to the league!
-
Hey guys, I just took over one of the teams in this league. I've played several Ottoneu leagues so I'm excited and maybe crazy to add another one!
-
Looking for one maybe 2 new managers if anyone knows anyone looking for a new challenge lmk
-
Gentle reminder that tomorrow is the keeper deadline/team renewal deadline.
-
Looking to move Bogaerts and Chapman(and others) if interested send me an offer
-
Looking to move Bregman before the deadline. Could also be talked into one of Turner or Bichette if I’m blown away.
-
Just a gentle reminder that league dues and the keeper deadline is January 31st.
-
AND Great job on allocations everyone. Except for the fact that I ended up in last place and have the second most money allocated to my team. :)
-
The only reason you wouldn't be OK with paying the following seasons dues is if you were planning on leaving right? Yes it's a part of ottonue to take on salary but it's not a part of it to take it on, win the championship, and then leave the league. Milwaukee's best took on near 600 before he bailed. The idea for taking on a ton of salary is that you then have to go through the interesting part of rebuilding. If teams leave, it defeats the purpose. I vote YES as well.
-
Final weekend to make your arbitration allocations.
-
Very excited for trade season! Little more than one week :)
-
I vote YES as well

I vote YES to the rule
-
I vote YES to the rule. Nobody is saying that you can't take on salary. What's being said is that if you do take on so much salary, you are expected to compete in this league the following season. You can't "take the money and run".
-
I know I haven't voiced an opinion on this before but can we at least vote on this? I don't really agree with this rule either. Taking on salary is part of playing Ottoneu and it happens in every league. And 475 is pretty low threshold to enforce this on.
-
I let the knights go rather than to have him stay in a huff, but from now on, the rule is that you have to pay your following season dues in order for a trade to go through that would bring you up over $475 payroll. No more exceptions. This is a really active league with a lot of owners who were here from the inception of the league, which makes it surprising that two league champions have left in a row. I'm dubious of the strategy to add payroll, win, and then leave. No more! ;)
-
Also, teams that go over $500 usually have more good pieces than a 12th place team that checked out in July, so not hard to find someone to take over IMO.
-
I think if you don’t want people to go over $500 you should just make it a hard rule. Easier than trying to track down next years buy-in from someone who left.
-
Apologies I don't remember something from 11 months ago
-
You commented on November 20th 2021 about it
-
Apparently I was aware of the rule I've been told, ok whatever, I'll be back in that case
-
I was not aware of the rule, other leagues do have that and its enforced during the season. There's payroll's this high or higher in every league I'm in, including my own payrolls if my team has a shot to cash
-
The knights are trying to leave our league now with the $515 payroll. Didn't we have a rule in place that you had to pay your next year's dues if you went over $475? This would be two years in a row that the league Winner went up over $500 in payroll and then bailed the league after winning and their responsibility to get their payroll down. It's a terrible trend to allow to happen. Who's to stop anyone from taking on infinite payroll and then bail the league?
-
Welcome Team to be named later I’m open to moving up a pay tier not sure about anyone else. Also arbitration starts tomorrow and ends November 15th make sure to allocate at least one dollar to every team. Good luck to everyone on their off season decisions.
-
Hi all, happy to be part of the league! Would the league have any interest in bumping to the $100 prize tier? At $50 only ~58% of buy-in goes to prizes while at $100 75% does.
Either way, have a fun roster I’m looking forward to!
-
Congratulations to the Knights for beating Hartford by a half a point. Wow. That's the closest I've ever seen. Bourbon street is abandoned so if anyone knows any friends that might want to take over tell them they can find them under the abandon team section of the ottonue. Let's do a good job of reminding each other about arbitration. Cheers.
-
That’s a wrap on the season! It was a tight race all season and came down to the last day! I’m looking forward to relaxing and watching some playoff baseball with my eye towards next year. Cheers!
-
Reminder the trade deadline is tomorrow at midnight. The last month is shaping up to be a sprint to the finish!
-
Does anybody want to unload a catcher? If you do please let me know.
-
I still need to reduce my roster size considerably. If people are interested in adding depth, message me. I'd like to do three for one or even four for one deals. Don't bother trying to dump over paid players. It will just be a waste of time for both of us. Let's make some trades!. I have great prospects and none of my players are over priced. Well, except for maybe sixto Sanchez :)
-
I have too many prospects. If anyone wants to do a three prospect for one better prospect trade, send me a message. I'll do three prospects for a fair priced major leaguer as well.
-
Looking to trade one of my catchers. Let me know if you're interested.
-
Because of what Mil Best did to us last year we will need to enforce the rule that if your roster hits $475 or above, you must pay your following years dues. Mil climbed up near 600 and bailed after his championship. Super lame. I wish I remembered his ID so I could see if he’s ina nay of my other leagues.THANKS EMPIRE. Cool move.
-
I am not sure if we ever confirmed the rule, but since my budget is climbing with trades, I will pay my next years entry fee today.

Looking to trade for an impact outfielder. Hit me up.
-
Yes, I cut Mike Trout. I thought long and hard and decided that the players I can get with Mike trouts $48 is the best possible return I could receive in a trade. Players available that I like on free agency, mixed with the players that will have to be dropped by whoever picks up trout, and players from this June's draft. I could get a three for one in a trade or I can get a seven or eight for one this way. Good luck in the mike trout sweepstakes. And watch out for the beaver in '23 or '24.
-
Pushing all my chips into the middle of the table. All my prospects are available
-
Full transparency. I have an offer to me for trout, and two other big names that I'm not bowled over by. I told the person that I would accept it on noon Saturday unless I get a better offer from someone. Don't complain on Saturtday and say it's a bad trade if you can't do better. You all will have had your chance. Trout is at a career low $48 and maybe putting up some of his best numbers. Especially during a pitcher dominant season. You gotta love that micro dosing roids won't test positive.
