Taking offers for Cole. Looking for top prospects. Hit me with your best shot.

Valdez is available for three near MLB prospects, who wants him the most in our contenders. Had a request from one of you, so the ball is in your court
-
I’m taking offers on Will Smith (the catcher). Looking for young/cost controlled pitching in return.
-
I'm looking to move Freeman if anyone is interested. Biggest needs are MI, OF and cap space.

I remember this one time I lost two of my aces, my starting 2nd baseman, and ss all before April 10. Good times. That said in the market for a middle infielder sooooo yeah.

The season is almost here! Baseball is back!
If anyone is interested this league is OPL eligible so if you finished top 6 last season you can enter your team. It's a best ball style scoring, which means no active daily management necessary. I entered last season and it was a blast.
Go check it out, if not for this year maybe next.
Good luck to you all and let's play ball!

Hi all. Just wanted to let you know that I will not be back next season. I love the Ottoneu format and have enjoyed participating in this league for the last few years, but I just don't have the time anymore for a daily moves league. I think my team is in fairly good shape, so hopefully finding a new owner shouldn't be too difficult. Good luck to you all in 2023!
-
Also I will be starting a $100 league and have enjoyed every one in this league so will post a message when it’s created if anyone wants to join love to have you

Anyone looking to talk trade let me know I will be moving some big pieces looking for low dollar impact player quality of quantity and am willing to get “crushed” in a deal for the right return. Thanks!

My team faded hard in the final stretch. Was lucky to pull out third place.
-
Well done, Killteam. You certainly lived up to your name!

I appreciate it and will be back next season to give everyone a chance to take me down a few pegs! Looking forward to the off-season and making some moves. Until then thanks for a fun season and hope everyone has a good off-season.

Congrats to Killteam for winning this years championship. Tight race down the end for 2nd and 3rd place, was fun to watch. We got a little more than a week then arbitration begins.

6-8 teams are seriously contending even with these deals. Madmen is in first and adds a haul. Leather sitting as only team 5 ppg and 5 ppi. Stumptown solid hitting and pitching on paper and standings. DVS adding two bats and waiting on DeGrom. Stallions waiting on Eloy and Tatis to return. Papi got a pitching factory going on. Shift is sitting with Soto, Trout Vladdy, & Acuna just waiting for pitching. Killteam with all the HR hitters. This is what its all about IMO. I love this le
-
I took time to look at it again, ask yourself if you would have done the trade, break it down one player for two players and do on and you'll see it's not ''trash'', I voted for it
-
This is great! It's freaking May. Teams are wheeling and dealing to win. This is why I play. 12 active owners. I want to see teams countering moves made by other teams. I like understanding others mindsets to how they operate their respective teams. Most of this league has been together for over 5 years. We may not always understand each other's methods/tactics or strategies but I have confidence every team does what they feel is best for themselves. Question things, veto just be respectful

“The trade is trash”
-
I don’t think anyone is focused on ripping trades. It’s just a dialogue that helps more of us come to terms with why the trades make sense for both teams. I’d hate to think that folks would just veto without posing questions.
-
In the end, I’m happy with my return. Like DVS said, I enjoy playing in a competitive league but in my experience, very little comes from ripping trades on the message board. If there are issues, hit the veto button.
-
My team isn’t going anywhere this season. Too many injuries, not enough pitching. I’m happy with my return when looking forward to next season. The part being left out of the analysis with these trades is salary cap restrictions. Mookie wouldn’t be keepable for me next season if I want to contend going forward. And I don’t think it’s too soon to make moves like this. I’ve been playing Ottoneu long enough to know when to hit the reset button on a team.
-
AD, you are getting some really nice volume back, and taking a closer look I would agree that there is a decent chance that you will win this trade in the long run. Not a sure thing, of course, but it never is. I apologize to both of you for my earlier skepticism.
-
Bottom line is that we both did what we thought was best for our teams. Afternoon was looking at the future. I was looking at right now. Time will tell if one of us "won" the trade.
-
Wow, I didn't think I'd wake up to this lively debate on Sunday morning. I appreciate the comments on both sides of the trade. Of course, I don't think either team got fleeced in this deal. I gave up a lot of young, cheap talent for win now players. For my part, I hated to part with Gilbert, Adames, and Strider. I expect them all to return significant surplus value for years to come. Yes, I got good players in return, but I'm not going to keep them all at those salaries.
-
I couldn't be any happier with my return. Even if others don't see what I do.
-
I think DVS is also getting a very nice deal, no doubt. It feels slightly less unbalanced to me, as all of the players going back are solid MLB regulars vs. prospects (who are effectively lottery tickets until proven). That said, if I was trading Mookie, especially right now when he is playing close to park form, I would be asking for both - a couple of starters I could plug right in, along with 1-2 high ceiling prospects. It feels early to be making trades like this without maximizing return.
-
We have veto power in this league correct? Those who feel it is unbalanced should veto.
-
So Stumptown, I would like your opinion on Betts and Goldschmidt being moved. Two players averaging 8.5 points per game moving to one team.
-
I tend to agree with the take that more active shopping would almost certainly have resulted in a better return - and, likely spread the love across more teams. As it currently stands, Madmen and Misfits is getting a whale of a deal, Afternoon Delight's future looks only slightly more hopeful, and the rest of us hoping to compete this year have an even tougher race on our hands. Not a great dynamic for a competitive league such as this one, but I also don't think anything shady is going on.

I don’t think anyone is cheating for the record just grumpin lol

Here comes Madmen and he asks me who I actually wanted. I personally love Strider, Gilbert and Adames. Especially Strider. My only mistake I feel is that perhaps I should have given him Gleybar Torres and kept Polanco. No one on my team is off limits and I hope to continue to spread the wealth.
-
Since we are in deep discussions of "the trade" I will give my two cents. Springer is a great player but has an injury history. He has been on my trade block off and on for several weeks. I received no inquiries or proposals on him. Olson, as well, has been on the trade block and I did receive a couple proposals but I felt they all included players I wasn't interested in.
-
Hey now im trying to win back to back. Cant be having all you teams ahead of me making deals!
-
Crap shoot for a solid 4. This trade has no impact on the bottom half of the league, but teams 2,3, and 4 hopefully had a chance to make an offer on them. Game changer.
-
The trade likely effects me the most. I don’t like it but I also don’t think there is anything shady going on. I think both managers are doing what they think is best for their team and I haven’t seen anything from either of these teams in the past that would make me suspect differently. I’ll have to step up my game now.
-
The trade is trash. You are guys are too nice lol. It’s 4 top end players for 1 guy who isn’t a lotto ticket. For every vlad jr there are 15 jo addels. It’s really really bad and season altering. If I was closer I’d be losing my mind but the bigger point is shop your players. Give the league a heads up hey I’m willing to move every noteworthy piece I have for a little league team and the return would have been way way more.
