No options, unless you're lucky enough for Fantrax to throw a red flag on them. Usually it's only guys with MLB time who will get a red flag.

Dinger is going to get his filthy hands on Devers and I'm going to be annoyed

EZe is holding 55. I think you traded it to him a few weeks ago.

Reminder: 2.3 Adding Players Owners are free to add any unowned player with at least one MLB game of experience. During the season, adds are restriced to 6 per week. There is no limit to adds during the offseason. Unowned players with no MLB experience that are added to a real life roster can only be added at 8PM ET two days after their MLB debut. So if they debut on Tuesday, they can be added at 8PM on Thursday. Commissioners reserve the right to manually add any such player to actual waivers, and owners can request that any such players are added to waivers. Early adds (or any illegal add) will result in the player being dropped as well as the loss of the team's waiver priority.

Waiver order is updated to the reverse order of last year's standings (thanks Jim). I've waived all remaining FAs, so feel free to make claims. There will no transaction limits until the season starts.

Pendleton4Life took him at 41... and then never added him. I guess he's yours now.

Alright gents, can we take it to the politics thread instead of continuing here?

You think the US media/democrats created a global pandemic in order to damage Donald Trump?

https://ccdd.hsph.harvard.edu/will-covid-19-go-away-on-its-own-in-warmer-weather/ "The short answer is that while we may expect modest declines in the contagiousness of SARS-CoV-2 in warmer, wetter weather and perhaps with the closing of schools in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, it is not reasonable to expect these declines alone to slow transmission enough to make a big dent." This is what a Harvard epidemiologist has to say, and it mirrors everything else I've seen on the issue. Take these two statements: 1. Virus A propagates better at lower temperatures and humidity. 2. The difference isn't likely big enough to meaningfully help in the fight against it. Both of those statements can be true. You've correctly pointed out that the first statement is probably true as it relates to the coronavirus. You then extrapolated that "the virus is very sensitive to heat and humidity". Others have pointed out to you that your extrapolation hasn't been demonstrated yet, and that experts seem to be suggesting that statement 2, above might be true. You're partially right, but in typical Grant fashion you'd rather argue for 5 pages than admit to the area where you're partially wrong.

I was busy!

Ditto spittin at 84.

It’s hard to read because everyone is saying true things. Grant wasn’t lying when he said that he read that the ideal temperature for the virus was 8C or whatever. He just misspoke when he extrapolated that the virus was very sensitive to heat and humidity. It might be true, but it’s not a necessary conclusion of the previous fact, and experts have gone on record saying they’re concerned that this won’t be meaningfully slowed by warmer temperatures. If Grant would have just admitted that his post was a bit optimistic, this argument doesn’t happen.

Grant is making the dumbest posts ITT and its not close.

I was really looking forward to destroying you in week 1 in BORED

UK is expecting the peak to be in 10-14 weeks. We’re probably looking at June for the season to start.

You’re up. Also I’m not using my last pick. Skip me if if I’m not around when it comes up.

I took Jason castro. Can someone PM next?

We'd see absurd offensive numbers if the season is played in ST facilities. It sure would be interesting.

At this point, no games for the foreseeable future will be played in front of more than a few hundred fans. MLB will try to maintain TV revenues by playing in empty stadiums or ST parks. I hope they're successful, but I have no idea how they'll handle situations where players start getting sick. Seems likely the season will be delayed/shortened.
