Dynasty Baseball
A dynasty fantasy baseball league drafts a full roster in the first year and the rosters and managers roll over to the next year, only holding a draft for unowned players each year. Once a player is on a team, they are owned by that team unless traded or dropped.
The strategy of dynasty challenges you to not only build a roster that may be successful for the current year, but also the seasons thereafter. This involves targeting younger players with potential in hopes that they develop into quality fantasy baseball players for years to come. These prospects are held to replace players due to retirement and decline in play. Often times dynasty league rosters have an expanded size to compensate for players that may still be in the minor leagues or aren't contributing enough yet to be play in a fantasy lineup.

Premium League Fees are $130. Highest Scoring Team will win back their $50. Runner Up will win $150. League Champion will win $270.
If you're interested, please read all the bylaws and if youre interested, email me at mrw62679@gmail.com
Please let me know how much experience you have in Dynasty Baseball Leagues. This league is not for the beginner, it's very detailed with deep rosters and does take time to learn...even for the veteran player.
If you can't reply to trade offers, set your lineups or reply to any league chat, this league is not for you.
The link to the league bylaws are below.
We will figure out the draft once the league fills up but do plan on drafting for a while since we will be drafting our active roster, bench players and our minor league roster in one big draft so we will get started pretty quick.

20-Team Dynasty Baseball League – $75 Buy-In – Looking for Dedicated Owners!
League Details:
We’re looking for active and passionate owners who love baseball and want to compete long-term. If you’re ready for the challenge, comment or DM for details!⚾
I getting a new dynasty start up going. 20 team league roto 6x6 on yahoo. Team identity style you pick a team then pick 3 players from that team along with five prospects. Slow draft. See links below for website. At that site I have the rules layed out. Teams are first come first served. Shoot me a message if you're want in or need more info
Looking for a free startup slow draft.
14-team dynasty where my current 3B options are Ke'Brayan Hayes and Jose Miranda
Give: Luis Gil Get: Alec Bohm
Other starting pitchers I have: Skubal, Bello, Hunter Brown, Berrios, Stone (IL), May, Braxton Garrett
Minors: Spencer Arrighetti, Tink Hence, Jackson Ferris, Bobby Miller, Kumar Rocker
Original offer was Bello for Bohm and Gil was counter
Where could you see Jackson Chourio, Merrill, and Langford go in dynasty leagues? Mid to late 2nd round for the 3? Im thinking Chourio and merrill go first before langford
I really want Jobe, and Holliday hasn't been good so far, but it feels like the wrong move. As a Detroit fan I may be overvaluing Jobe, and I don't want to read too much into Holliday's early career.
It's Ottoneu H2H fangraphs points, Holliday $7 Jobe $4.
Holliday is slightly superfluous on my team because I have Albies, plus Bazzana , Brooks Lee and Christian Moore coming up.
I'm thinking of asking if he'll include Jhoan Duran ($7), but I feel like he won't do it.
Thoughts?
The three new owners will have a dispersal draft for the players on the three vacant teams.
Looking to start a new league at Ottoneu (will be 3rd league I am commissioner of) and looking for managers that are active, especially in the prospect world. Ottoneu is, in my opinion, the best fantasy baseball setup for dynasty. The league already has 40 man rosters, so it's deep, but I'm looking to add an additional 15+ man MiLB rosters to make it that much more in-depth.
Please reply or message me if you're interested in learning more.
Thanks!
Currently have the Greene side, I have a good young core of bats but am in need of another impact arm

What’s Jared jones value in dynasty? Is he someone you would project as a top 20/25 SP for the foreseeable future? If trading, what return would you like to see for him?
Which side ya taking?
16 team H2H cat. Darvish and Castellanos for Colt Emerson. Which side wins?
Got offered seager for my stott, Gorman, Ben Williamson, Michael morales. However seager only under contract for 2 more years at $21m each year. He is also retaining 50% of seagers 42m contract.
I could be in a position to win within the next two years but I would definitely need to land some decent pitching in free agency. Taking on seagers contract would leave me with about 42mil to work with in free agency.
seager at 21m is a pretty good price for a player of his caliber, but since he’s only under contract for two years idk if I’m giving up too much
I also have bregman on an expiring contract but I have the option to franchise tag which would pick up his real life contract at whatever he signs for, or restricted tag him and have the option to match his highest league free agency offer. I’m sure either one would be a bit more than 21m/year, but would be longer than 2 years.
Current starting lineup would be
C. Alvarez CI. Olsen CI. Cronenworth MI. Stott MI. Gorman OF. Jazz OF. McCormick OF. Meyers UT. Brennan
Bench: Korey Lee, toro, Brujan
SP’s ober, mize, ashcraft, c. Javier, Luis Garcia
RP Pressly, Dylan Lee, cionel perez, Jorge Lopez
Other option would be to leave team as is, wait to see what happens w bregman and even if I don’t get him in free agency I would receive draft pick compensation most likely a pick between rounds 1-2, which I am leaning towards here
I’m stepping out of a rebuild era and entering a compete window. Would you make this trade? Roto 6x6 league
Jordan Lawlar & Jace Jung
For
Randy Arozarena & Chase Dollander & Ryan Pressly
Trade Mayer, farmelo and McDermott for jazz?
7x7 roto scoring 170mil cap
Contract/salary cap league. In a position to win now, but thin at middle infield. This move would allow me to save money by not having to re sign altuve in free agency as jazz current contract is around 8mil and altuve will probably go for 15mil+
Leaves me with about 52 mil to address other areas. Should I try to get another piece or draft pick?
Currently have a need at OF.
Was offered Parker Meadows, Ryne Nelson and Emmett Sheehan for Kyler Bradish.
I should probably smash accept? Bradish is out for the 2025 season. Meadows is a decent bat with speed and should see more playing time in 2025.
Thoughts?
Update: I accepted shortly after posting this. It was a no brainer.
Thanks all that replied!!

So I'm joining my first Dynasty Baseball league in over a decade. Haven't played fantasy baseball in that time either. I'm a baseball fan, watch and read a bit about it during the season but I'm not big on stats. Lookin for advice on solid sites and resources for dynasty baseball to get ready for the first draft and season next year.
