you were 6 million over the cap, and the several "days" ends today at 12 eastern. I sent you a forum message, and a chat message to warn you. There was no one important cut from your team, and I'm not allowing you to float your inflated cap into April 1. You've done that several seasons in the past without me complaining, and had your allocations benefit from it. Just play the game by the rules. You have a great team, and you will still be the best in that division.

That being said. If there is anyone that important that fits into your cap, I'll gladly add them back for you. I expect you could just re-bid on them though.

I was in the process of making cuts when you did that. We have until April 1st. You are clearly out of line. Since you will not add the players back so that I can make the cuts that I need to do to get my team's front office allocations in order, I will be leaving the league.

Good luck to everyone else.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Good luck with other leagues.

I'm quite certain Spacely, Third Rock, and maybe Universal Stars, are the same person... However, what do you think of this trade?

https://www.csfbl.com/popup_trades.asp?tradeid=253812

From Spacely Sprockets:
CF: Bobby Curtis ($2,722,000)
P: James Davenport ($2,106,000)
First Round Draft Pick: #12 overall
Second Round Draft Pick: #36 overall

From Third Rock Humanoids:
Third Round Draft Pick: #59 overall
P: Mitchell Cheatham ($2,505,000)
P: Robert Gonzalez ($1,927,000)
First Round Draft Pick: #19 overall

It seems the better team in the standings gave up the most, for 2 mediocre relief pitchers...

I don't believe in pausing leagues unless absolutely necessary.
My philosophy is not pandering to the inactive or playing God with time or whatever - We aren't all in North America also if it being 'overnight' means it shouldn't matter at all.

I just want it noted that I disagree with it ever being paused unless for good reason, and that such things may effect my own participation.
Don't want to cause a fuss, just want to say it and otherwise carry on but this sort of thing P's me right off.

While I agree with you, the league is best when all members are active. a 24 hour window in between season end and free agent offers, isn't enough time for users to check in, release players, and make new offers. 8 teams out of 24 had checked in, I made a quick decision to add 12 hours to offers. The point was to atleast allow the users that are more active during the week, have a chance to get in Monday. It isn't something I want to manage, so I wouldn't worry about it happening much more.

Why?

**Lewbalz** · December 9, 2019, 04:27 PM

Just out of curiosity, do we have a hard cap at the draft, and if so, since when?
Thanks.

I have 5 pretty good SS ready to go. Also have a decent 1B in the minors
that could be moved. Looking for Draft Picks for them.

Draft will probably be sometime tomorrow so we need to move if you are
interested.

I am wanting to keep SS-Matthew Fisher and trade the rest of the SS's even
Hatch in AAA. Draft picks.

If you want Fisher - will need to be a pretty good return.

Hit me up soon as the draft is soon. Send me the trades and I will approve
or Decline.

Thank you so much. I am not on the Forms much but I do make trades.

Thank you again,
BarryD

Last year I tried to shop SS and I had 83 views and NO trades.

If YOU want to WIN it all, YOU need to make a move.

Jakku Jags have an ACe in Homer Kroeger. Yes, he is 32 years old but he can be YOUR
ace for the next 3 to 5 years.

I also have 6 Shortstops in various ratings but I know I have one that can make your team
better for the playoff run.

The only SS I am NOT moving is Matthew Fisher.

I also have a 1B that can be moved in Kohly Gavin and he is in the Low Minors.

I am looking for Draft Picks and young players that can help me rebuild.

If you REALLY want to improve, then send me your best offer.

By the way, looking for a First Rounder PLUS for Kroeger. He is really good!!!

Thank you
