REMINDER- don't forget to renew your dues by Jan 31. If you don't renew by the end of the month, your team will be marked abandoned by the system. Ottoneu has also said they will extend the keeper deadline due to Feb 15 due to the player lockout.

Not to mention, a great name for the sequel to Brokeback Mountain.

Haha thanks. Rich Hill is one of my fav baseballs stories ever. I signed him early and decided to dedicate my team name to him. I probably cut bait on him sooner than I should have this year. Gotta love an 80 grade uncle Charlie.

For the record, Dick Mountain wins best team name in 2021.

I also got at least 1 trade offer a day for Acuna during the 2018 offseason. Anyone have rejected trades they missed big on?
-
To get some trade buzz going I wanted to look back at some trades that weren't made by me. My favorite is one I offered back in 2017. Gerrit Cole, Joe Ross, Tyler Glasnow, and Hunter Renfroe for Madison Bumgarner. At the time, it was a very reasonable deal. Cole was still in PIT and had a 4.25 ERA; Ross had shown glimpses throughout the season; Glasnow was a top ranked prospect with a 7 ERA; and Renfroe was a high K machine with HR power. Bumgarner was still a beast, and would be for another 3

I have a spot in the Centaurs league open if anyone is interested. It's ottoneu classic like this one with the same rules. It's a pretty competitive and active league.

Changes can still be made until Sunday, but it looks like arbitration is all done with 100% participation. Let's get the trade blocks updated so we can see some action right out of the gate. We'll start looking at draft dates in the new year, season doesn't start until the end of April, so we'll aim for beginning of that month for possible dates. Reminder that you'll need to be under the cap and roster requirements before draft day, whenever that will be.
-
Welcome to the league! Once you knock arbitration out, only Batting Around will be left. Let's get trade blocks updated, we'll work on the draft date in a couple of weeks to set it before the season.
-
Hi, all. I’m a friend of Dick Mountain (that’s a very internet sentence). I’m looking forward to being in this league and hopefully steering thus squad out of the basement. I’ll be sure to complete arbitration before the deadline.
-
If anyone has a recommendation, I'd be open to changing the league name before the beginning of the season. We're not quite Newbies anymore, and the league description still says a beginner's league.
-
Bravos are World Series champions! Baseball offseason is upon us- hopefully the CBA gets worked up quickly and there's no stoppage. Reminder to get arbitration done- we have a little under two weeks left and only a couple of teams need to get their picks in. If anyone knows someone wanting to play, we still have a team open.
-
Arbitration begins today and runs for a month. As a reminder- you can only allocate $3 to a team, and you must allocate at least $1 to every team and all of your money. That last part is important because if you don't, none of your money will be allocated to any teams.

Batting around was able to rally at the end to catch me, very nicely done. Congrats on the 'ship

Congrats Dick Mountain and Nolando! Dick Mountain built a great team, could have gone either way.
-
Soggy & Shady has requested to be abandoned. If you know of anyone interested in joining the league, please reach out to them. If you also plan on leaving the league, please let us know.
-
Congrats to batting around, Mountain, and Nolando!
-
If any teams know they will not be playing next year, please post on this board or message myself or Batting Around. If you are not yet sure, please continue to participate as you normally would. Salaries will be updated by the system on 10/7 and arbitration begins 10/15. I'll send out the reminder for arbitration but let's make sure to get to 100% this year.
-
Congrats to Batting Around on winning the league! Valiant effort from Dick Mountain to take second, and Aaron Nolanado fends off the competition to take third. Great season guys!
-
Final stretch of the season and we still have a wide open race for 1st/2nd and a 3-team race for 3rd. Best of luck down the home stretch!
-
I joined the NIL to NFL league too. Still looking for owners. Join up!!
-
I ended up joining another football league instead. It is From NIL to NFL on the available leagues list.
-
yes interested
-
I made an Ottoneu Football League $50 Tier send me a message if you are interested.

Great explanations

sorry the trade was ok by me
-
And before more outrage occurs, I am putting in a waiver claim on Cruz. There are other teams down the claim ladder that can pick him up before me if they submit a claim, but this isn't some master devious plan to come in 7th place.
-
I'll let Intruders explain his reasoning of the trade, my reasons for accepting it were obvious. I don't control multiple teams on Ottoneu- I only have this league and team.
-
What does that mean?

good point

So recap since the Cruz drop this morning: Ketel Marte and Lance for Candelario.
This trade is so bad the only thing that makes sense is you are in cahoots or it’s one person managing both teams.

The trade looked fairly lopsided to me as well but am open to acknowledging that I could be wrong and can't predict the future. I'd be curious in hearing from both sides of that trade on why they liked their side of the deal.

Fire In the Tanaka! dropped Francisco Mejia by mistake. I just changed it back.

Been waiting on Tanaka to get cut first. That should open things up.

It’s been almost 24 hours, and no trades??? What happened to this league? Shameful if we’re being honest.

Any chance we can do 7 ET? I have multiple drafts and already asked them to push the start time back once.

Yes- please mark your calendars to have the draft at 8PM EST March 14- I've updated the league settings to reflect the date and time.
