From the League Chat

• Boris: Twelve days to the deadline. Selling one outfielder, lightly used, $24. Buyers need $24 of room. That is the problem with this league.
• Hugo: Seventh. One spot out. Free Agent Frenzy, I am coming for you.
• Boris: Jackson Merrill at $26 for the stretch run, and Escalator Clause sent $8 of cap space with him, which is the only way he fit.
• Tara: Spencer Strider ($12) and Luis Castillo ($7) for Escalator Clause. $8 off this year's books and two players who might be keepers. See everyone in March.
• Gwen: Do not send me an offer that puts me over. The cap check says no before I can.
• Nico: Looking at it. The cap math works. The baseball math I am less sure about.
• Marco: Deadline is Saturday at midnight. After that the rosters are what they are.
• Hugo: Offer sent to Salary Dump Trucks: Cade Cavalli ($13) and Noah Cameron ($2) for Josh Hader. Nico, check the cap sheet. It fits.
