Yeah I certainly had my sights on Kelenic ;) and sure on paper the return might be a bit light but I’m probably higher on Adell than some. Would be hard to be the guy to drop trout at the deadline so for a non contender getting two guys I can bet on and opening up some space to gamble down the road seemed worth it to me but who can really say for sure…

Haha, completely agree. This year has been incredibly frustrating. So many injuries plus the new ball and foreign substance issues... hard to know what to expect from anyone. Just build some depth and hope for the best, I guess.
-
Ha! Milwaukee is already out of 3rd place.
-
Milwaukee didn’t like dropping into 3rd place. 😃Looks like he won’t be there for long. It’s such a strange season with the state of the actual baseballs it’s hard to know how stars will perform. I couldn’t dislike mamfred more than I do. It’s crazy to think of how many different baseballs we’ve had in the last seven years. He’s lost his mind. Milwaukee- Getting Scherzer and trout for just Anderson and Adell is pretty nuts, but I wasn’t willing to give up kelenic so it’s my own fault. Nice!
-
I just lost madrigal to the 60 day IL. Mondesi and Mcneil are already down. can someone trade me a MI?? Kelenic is untouchable
-
It's an excellent haul. and Milwaukee gets soto for at least another year
-
If Robert can return nice and healthy and Franco becomes 75% of what they say he’ll become, then I’ll be happy with it.
-
Yeah no complaints here, good trade
-
That's funny... I find myself feeling like I'll regret this deal, too. I think that's an indication it was a pretty fair trade.
-
I can tell you that it wasn’t my intention, but in the long run I think my team is better with Franco, Robert and the rest of the guys I received than it would have been with Soto/Addell etc. Will I regret it? Probably. But here’s hoping I don’t!
-
Ha! That’s hilarious. I ended up
Trading soto to my competition. Improving Milwaukee made me come out even. We did shake out those two top 5 prospects though. Can’t have the “best” team AND the best farm system, Milwaukee. Knights, if you hold off Milwaukee and Beaver you’ll earn your title and will deserve it.. Prestige did an excellent job playing both sides. Well done!! Nice haul of prospects prestige. I love this league.

no worries. ottoneu is tough, some people have very different timelines of what they are doing with their franchise. and theres varying levels of engagement, both fast and slow, can also both be passive and aggressive. and then this game is market based, too, so it has its own little economy. i think theres lot of mechanisms built in for good balance here on ottoneu. maybe so many that one can easily get lost in a maze. its still early june, theres 100 games of baseball left for this season.glgl
-
Buts it’s been 2 years and I need to move on. I’ll shut up. Sorry. It’s hypocritical for me to even comment when I makes similar trades all the time.
-
Bottom line is. It’s really not my business and I sincerely apologize. I try to bite my tongue and I can’t. I’m not joking either. It’s hard for me not to want to throw my two cents in when I can’t figure out the strategy behind the moves. In ‘19 nimmo traded his entire team to the contenders and admitted it was to spite another contending team.
I’ve been in this league since it’s inception and it’s just bad for the league when it happens. I still have fear from that. Will nimmo help so
-
I really don't see how this trade is tilted or bad faith in a way that's causing an issue. Nimmo made an offer, i countered and he accepted.
-
Swanson and Profar are both heating up.
Realmuto is getting older and I'm not sure I would have kept him for next year at $2 or more than he is today.
Plus he is susceptible to injury.
Add age and injury together that's a lot of risk. I made a few inquires but didn't get much interest.
-
You can’t afford to consider a superstar “expendable”. It’s your only opportunity to get good young talent In return. The trade deadline is at the end of August. I didn’t receive an offer not that I think we were a good fit. But I know Milwaukee could have given you better talent than a defenseman SS and a utility man. You have proven to be the wildcard in this league that can determine the championship. In 2019 you unloaded your team because you were mad at another team. What’s your plan?
-
Nobody wants to trade with me.
All my offers get rejected.
I had too many games played for catcher position. He was expendable.
-
dansby and profar is all you could get for the best catcher in baseball?
-
all, going to start fielding some offers for trout with a loan attached. ready to deal when he comes off the IL. ill be checking sparingly over the next week or so if i dont get back to you right away. going to be looking for some young bats with some power potential. all the best, Studa

i use to think baseball was a big war of attrition, now it's kind of becoming a bad joke
-
I'm in 5 leagues. I have 23 different players on IL.
5 LAST NIGHT ALONE.
They don't make baseball players like they used to.
-
I trade for yates, gone for the season during spring training, Draft leclerc, gone for the season spring training. so i trade for colome, blows 3 straight and loses the closer job. I spend to get mayweather, 60 day IL, and now i get Dolis who is toronto's closer and he gets injured the day I win the bid. If that isn't a closer curse, i don't know what is.
-
Just updated my block. I am looking towards 2022. Willing to talk some of my better players
-
I could use another SS if anyone has one to trade
-
I wouldn't mind making a few changes to my roster. Let me know if I have anything that that interests you.
-

I can do the 7th only if its 6:30 or 7, the other dates are all good for me and 8pm is almost always best time
-
The 6th, 7th, or 13th work best for me

Still willing to discuss all the guys on my block, I may even move Diaz or Gallo for the right price.
-
Appreciate it. Ill throw this out. I’m looking to maybe move Trout before the deadline. Hit me up if interested
-
nice. welcome to the league. thanks for making the jump! there's a pretty good mix of active managers here. many looking at the longer term as much as the short. dont be afraid reach out or spam offers, i say. good luck!
-
Well it appears I took over a team that needs some work. I am open for business from now until Sunday's deadline. Don't be afraid to message.
-
Welcome aboard! it appears you're in a few leagues here on ottoneu already, if you have any questions ask here or send a message. you've taken over a strong club and it looks like you should be good to go. good luck.
-
Hello, I'm new to your league. Thank you for having me.
-
League Mates; I've removed and abandoned the owners of Yay Bombo and Krazy Killah Donutz. They are up for anyone to claim on ottoneus claim teams page. New Owners will be expected to pay the $50 league dues before taking player actions. We've had a few already pay up for 2021, now is as great a time as ever for everyone else to take care of that if you are intending on taking part in this coming season. Jan 31 is the cut and payment deadline. glgl
-
If they didn't take part in arbitration then I assume they're gone cut them now
-
League members; we have two now long time absent managers, both have not logged on since the regular season and over 90 days ago. I'll likely be removing both of them in weeks time, early January, to allow time for movement before the cut deadline. If you have an objection or comment, please let it be heard.
-
welcome aboard! you've taken care of a few needed steps. now we're just waiting a few more days to begin the off season. trading and building towards a 2021 championship and beyond. good luck out there.
