Hi. I just took over a team. I need to fully look over the roster and then will look to be active in the trade market. Looks like I will need to cut some big salaries!!!
-
Not yet, still plenty of time, usually after the new year stuff gets churning again. The high activity of the off season should help sell the last few slots as well.
-
Any luck on finding owners for the two open team?

Confirmed. Moves are made and offseason is in full session.

Welcome! Happy to have some fresh faces. Should definitely fill on time
-
Hah! Definitely read through the private message history. I bet it's a treasure trove.
-
Welcome aboard! and definitely don't search "pratt" in the message board
-
Re. Arbitration - Options 2 & 3 would only have felt right if we had near-consensus on using them, and we don't. Option 1 it is. In the words of Kunu...do less.
And welcome!
-
Welcome!
-
Hey guys, I just claimed this team off the site page. Glad to be a part of it.

It's worth noting that everyone who allocated was required to hit every team, so it's not as though some teams were unfairly or disproportionately targeted. It's simply that--as a league--our inflation is just a little lower than it otherwise would be.
-
3 seems "fair" but also quite a lot. When I joined post-arb the last commissioner gave me a day or two to go do it. So 2 is my vote
-
One...2 would be ok as a second choice. 3 doesn't exist in the otto rules and I'm totally against.
-
3 seems fair IMO
-
3
-
I'm fine with options 1 & 3. I'm a no on 2. There needs to be some finality so we can move forward with the offseason.
-
Method 1: Do Nothing (simplest)
Method 2: Allow newcomers to allocate after claiming team (via commish tools)
Method 3: Allocate $22 ($2/team) from each of the 3 non-allocators ($66 total) systematically, as follows: 50% to most-allocated player, 33% to 2nd-most, 16% to 3rd-most. For example - my team (Clogging) would be assigned an extra $3 to Vlad, $2 to Soto, and $1 to Bichette.
-
Hot stove season has officially begun!
Every claimed team participated in arb this year - thank you! We still have 4 unclaimed teams, 3 of which did NOT participate in arbitration.
In the interest of fairness to newcomers, how do people feel about attempting to allocate those unused dollars? I think there are 3 feasible ways to do it, which I'll outline in my next post...
-
As one newcomer to another, welcome.
-
Welcome Wes! Nice little team you have, hoping to get the last few squads filled before the arbitration if you know anyone
-
What up, Wes? Welcome!
-
welcome Wes!
-
Hey, new owner here. Took on a team with some nice young guys and looking forward to a fun offseason.
-Wes
-
Jk, he gone. Time to fill it on up! Spread the word, we can probably allow for manual arbitration? Idk, let's plan on just filling it.
-
Stay or leave, just decide please <3
-
yeah it's your time to shine. No commisioner pressure
-
Stay!
-
Clogging and inglorious have been named as co-commissioners. Welcome to new folks. I’ll decide by end of day if I’ll be on for this upcoming year
-
(Mainly dump salary arb on the logjammers though)
-
Welcome, new blood! Make sure you do arbitration before November 15 and dump some extra salary on everybody! I am more than happy to direct you to some info and articles on arbitration or answer any questions.
-
Hey everyone! Happy to be part of the league…can’t wait to talk baseball and look forward to many great seasons.

Welcome to the new folks!
-
Second clogging for a commish. I can co-commish with you if you'd like Clogging, we have both been here from the beginning but wide open to leaving that to someone else. Matt, are you also leaving?
-
two new guys today! we on fire!
-
hey there!
-
Hey all new guy here.
-
Appreciate Matt's vote of confidence for taking over commish role. I'd be willing, but would prefer to have a co-commissioner to help share the load.
-
It'll fill, wish we could leave the arbitration open to new owners. Also to potential owners: it's competitive and active.
-
Nice. I shared with a couple of people already who expressed interest. I'll post to the players wanted board too and maybe share on social media. We'll get the spots filled.
-
Done , all teams marked abandoned
-
Mark the teams abandoned and get them up on the claim team page. I know a couple of people who are interested and Ill share them around. Still 2 weeks of arbitration. Now's the perfect time to do it.
-
OK you are right that sounds like a lot of spots. I guess we will see. Thanks for the update!
-
I have removed everyone who said they are planning on not playing. That leaves 5 of you , I’m on the fence myself. 1) Who wants to be commissioner? I’d nominate clogging 2) If I leave that’s 7 spots , if I stay we have 6 to fill . Not sure odds of that
-
We doing this or what? Do we have the available teams listed in "join a league"?
-
Honestly even if you don’t plan on returning, participating in arb takes very little time and is a nice gesture at the margin
