Hey guys yesterday it caught my attention a very troubling violation committed by Seattle Mariners. He had been illegally rostering Yonder Alonso, Austin Romine, and Yovani Gallardo. The way I found out was Seattle asking me what type of contract does Yonder Alonso get? I was confused at first as to why he would ask that question, but then to realize he had never auctioned him or anything. Me and Gray spoke about this and agreed it would be best if we found a replacement owner for Seattle. These violations were very critical even if it was just a lack of knowledge of the rules (which is a problem). Gray and I deemed with Seattle's history of inactivity, disregard for proboards, complete lack of knowledge of the rules, and violations it was beyond past time to replace him. Luckily Seattle had lost every matchup during the time he had those players rostered, but this does still affect the league greatly with a player like Alonso.
I can say I apologize we did not find this violation sooner.
Now welcome our replacement owner...
His name is Noah and we are looking forward to having him in this league. He is in another league me and Gray run so I am confident he will be a great addition to this league. He won't be able to log into proboards until later tonight to get everything set up. There is a pending trade between Seattle and Pittsburgh right now. I am going to give Noah the option to accept or decline the trade.
Welcome to the league!

Welcome to the league, Noah! Noah is a good personal friend of mine (Gray as well) so I'm glad he's joining us. No better Reds fan in the entire US.

Josh and I have been discussing this situation at length and I confirm the aforementioned statements. Seattle was given multiple warnings to get on board with keeping his transactions up to date on proboards as well and never did. I am excited to manage alongside a good friend, as Matt stated, welcome to the league Noah!

Looks like we have found our replacement owners for the Cleveland Indians and Colorado Rockies.
Welcome Ken and Gino to our league, Ken will be taking over the Cleveland Indians and Gino will be taking over the Colorado Rockies.
Now that we have found our last 2 owners we need to be very active this week with discussing these rules and then we will figure out what we are voting on for rule changes and then we can have an extended break period which I know I need and I'm sure others could use one as well.

Hello,
I see I'm not the only newbie here so that's good. I am checking into my team and hoping to make the improvements to make up those 7 games behind first I finished.
I am grateful for the opportunity and look forward to getting involved
Thanks Gino |
