I am going to proceed with the dispersal draft for the new owners. Once complete I will update their teams on the website. In the meantime there are a couple more housekeeping items for the rest of us: 1) The deadline to update your roster for the 5MiLB draft is going to be 1/31 (same as the regular keeper deadline). I am going to send out the updated 5MiLB rosters. Please verify your team & let me know if you have any cuts or promotions to process by 1/31. We will decide a 5MiLB draft s

All, based on the voting here we already have a majority of the existing owners. In addition, all of the new owners are in favor of option 1. So that is the option that we will move forward with at this time.

So please vote on this new proposal. Option 1 is to go with the new method. Option 2 is to keep things the same. To keep things moving I am going to impose a 48 hour vote window. So all votes need to be in by noon, Wednesday, CST. Thanks. Let me know if you have any questions.

A couple of questions have been raised about this and it would be especially impactful this year since the teams in question finished in 3 of the bottom 4 positions and would therefore have 3 of the highest picks in the upcoming 5MiLB draft. The new proposal would be that those draft positions be retained by the new teams and they will be assigned based on reverse order of the 1st round of the dispersal draft. So 1st pick in dispersal draft gets the lowest available position in the 5MiLB draft.

As Andy mentioned we were able to find 3 new owners for the league. To get things rolling along for the upcoming season we have a few housekeeping items to take care of over the next few weeks. The 1st item is a proposal for the 5MiLB draft that primarily impacts our new owners draft position. In the past if we had a new group of owners doing a dispersal draft we bumped their pick in the 5MiLB draft to the bottom the first year since there was not a way to align the old teams to the new ones.

Thanks to the hustle of Britt and Matt (Ump Yours) it *appears* that the league has been saved. Dispersal draft has to happen in short order, and then we'll need to complete the 5MiLB draft before our auction, but looking good! Thanks to everyone for hanging in there...

Hey, everybody. No great news to report on recruitment for our open spots, unfortunately. I have agreed to a 1/14 deadline with Britt (Rubber Duckies) to find new owners. That would only give a couple of weeks to complete the dispersal draft and squeeze in trades, but we feel like it's worth the effort to keep this thing alive. If you have any candidates to sign on for the format, please let Britt or me know. Thanks!

Belief is that we have three proxy arbers for tonight, which should keep us going at least through that phase. If you have any leads on new owners, doesn't need to be by tonight, but please let Britt (Rubber Duckies) know.

One of our owners, anonymous for now, has stepped up to work on recruiting and run fall/winter activities. Not sure how that is working out so far, but much gratitude to that person for the attempt.

I regret making the request and the jeopardy that I am obviously putting our league in, but it is unfortunately necessary at this time. If anyone would like to discuss the Commissioner position with me, feel free to DM me either here or Slack. My apologies for the mid-arbitration disruption, and I'll do what I can to help any noble soul that picks up the 3 Tool banner.

I have posted our three openings (Saratoga Grays also departing) on Slack again, and received pretty tepid interest-- the only interested party objected to my insistence that the new owners pick at the end of each 5MiLB round. It gives me no pleasure to announce this, but I am not going to have the juice this year to recruit the three owners, run the dispersal draft, and then 5MiLB. So I must regretfully request that one of our current owners take the reins for at least this offseason.

For our non-Slackers: We have two openings for next season at this point-- the Yips and Urban Achievers-- which we will have a dispersal draft to fill if we can find owners. If you know of any candidates that might be interested, please feel free to invite!

Congrats to our Champ! At least one of the Mayors of Ding Dong City had a good year ;-D

I'll pay winners shortly, and as a reminder to all, remember that the 5MiLB draft starts in just over two months. Happy offseasoning.

While I am saddened that the Duckies fell 5 points short of extending Bonafide's amazing 3rd place reign in this league, I am terribly happy for the Mayor's addition to our illustrious list of league champs. It was truly a Ding Dong kind of year.

Need to move Trout by the deadline - looking for a mix of 2020 prospects and MLB ready talent

Still willing to move some of my probable non-keepers (Jose Abreu/Corey Seager/Brian Dozier) for surplus assets.

Heads up to all, I will be out of pocket for the next 9 days or so. I should have internet access and the ability to check in at least daily, but if any emergency promotions need to happen, please loop in Justin (Columbus Buckeyes). Thanks!

I'm open to discussing different payout setups in the offseason, but it is hopefully clear that owners that don't pay at all obviously can't stay around next year.

Next year I suggest a payout structure w/ LeagueSafe different than the "Top 3" winnings for Ottoneu. It might compel more owners to buy-in sooner (or at all?) if they had a better shot at winnings & help increase competition/engagement longer into the year. I like tiered-payout structures where everyone who pays gets something back; so even if last place might get $5/whatever, it can still act as a discount on the buy-in the following year if the owner stays with the league.
-
I had one owner that was kind enough to ask, and yes, there are a few that did not pay into LeagueSafe to start the season. Please check on your status and pay if you still owe at https://leaguesafe.com/join/3890732 Thanks!
