I joined several leagues not knowing their was a limit...
I wondered why, also I like playing the Mock Drafts to see how i rank, but today it stopped sending me my result even though it continued to say I would get them but I entered 3 and did not get the results for any.
Hi William,
Thanks for reaching out.
Each Yahoo ID has a limit to the number of leagues (or teams) they can have per season.
Public Prize Leagues – You can join up to 50 Public Prize Leagues (formerly Pro Leagues).
Best Ball Leagues – You can join up to 50 Best Ball Leagues.
Public and Private Leagues – You can have a total of 8 in any combination of Public and Private Leagues, per sport.
We will have our engineering team look into the issue you’ve reported with not receiving mock draft results.
Thanks,

please add two top 100 (fangraphs) prospects to your player pool: Heriberto Hernandez (Tampa Bay Rays), and Tahnaj Thomas (SP, Pirates)
For Dynasty Leagues (baseball) - please add two top 100 (fangraphs) prospects to your player pool: Heriberto Hernandez (Tampa Bay Rays), and Tahnaj Thomas (SP, Pirates)
Hi,
Thanks for reaching out.
Top prospects and new players are available at different times based on your league’s settings and are subject to your team’s waiver rules.
“New Players Become Available” setting locks post draft – Neither commissioners nor Yahoo Customer Care are able to edit this post-draft.
During spring training any player already in our system on a MLB 40-man roster may show as “active” until the regular season begins.
“As soon as Yahoo adds them” option – Players are available as soon as they’re added to a team’s 40-man roster. While players outside the 25-man roster can’t be used until after September 1st, you can claim your stake early.
“Wait until called up to the Majors” option – Players won’t be available until they’ve been called up to the Majors and are part of a team’s 25-man roster.
Thanks,

Hi Dave,
We are anticipating Prize Leagues will be available in the near future but we don’t have an estimated date to provide. Our fantasy team is working to get them available as soon as possible.

Allow a post draft change from "as soon as Yahoo adds them" to "wait until called up to Majors"
I'd like to be able to DRAFT prospects, then have those not in MLB out of the player pool until they get called up. Then we can FAB them more effectively.

Is there any way to block trade proposals or messages from a crazy person? There should be.
Seriously, it's borderline harassment going on in one league right now.
Hi Jeffrey,
Thanks for reaching out.
Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent a manager from sending trade proposals or messages through the trade proposal to other managers.
If the manager is sending any type of harassing messages, please obtain screen shots of these messages and contact us through the sports section at help.yahoo.com for further assistance.
Thanks,

Issue with Players List (two different sets alternating)
I've never seen this happen before, I just noticed today that the Players list is switching back and forth between two sets of rankings, one with Acuna Jr. as the #1 player as it had been and a new set with Tatis Jr. as the #1. It's doing it with pitchers too, one with Cole as #1 (as it was) and another with deGrom #1. If you keep clicking "Players" or reload the page it will switch between the two almost every time, very strange. You'll see the same player (i.e. George Springer) on both page 1 and 2 because…

For 3 years, rankings have been broken
For 3 years, the rankings for the previous season don't match actual rankings, but only mirror Yahoo rankings. People actually want the rankings from last year, not some Yahoo projection ****. The fact this has been going on for 3 years shows the incompetence of the Yahoo team.

Cap RBI to How Many Runs Scored a Team Has.
I think an option that is badly needed for a more realist feeling is only allowing RBIs for the number of runs a team has. Meaning. If a team combined RUN total is 975 then that's the most RBIs you can have. It forces teams to have more balance and quite frankly is reality. In real life if you only have 700 runs you can't have 900 RBIs! I've had this option elsewhere, Thanks,

I can't renew my league because I didn't activate it last year due to the shortened season
Make leagues that didn't renew in 2020 available to be renewed. I asked about this previously but have not heard anything. Is anybody working at Yahoo?

On the position eligibility page, when you try to sort by a particular position, it eliminates all players eligible for that position
On the position eligibility page, when you try to sort by a particular position, it eliminates all players eligible for that position from the search results. The table should be able to sort both directions but not eliminate all players from the table.
Also, filtering by position would be great.

*PLEASE* bring back the Draft Room line indicating where my next pick will fall !
This feature made drafting with Yahoo so much better than using competing sites. It helped make those really tough drafting decisions much easier. Not sure what could have possibly led to thinking that removing it would help ... no one enjoys squinting at tiny player names and manually counting off to figure out what your options will be in the next few rounds. For the love of God bring it back. please.
This issue has now been resolved and the next pick indicator should be available during live drafts again.

Add Astros prospect Pedro Leon to the player pool
Astros recently signed international prospect is on the fast track to MLB. He needs to be available to draft in dynasty leagues. He has been ranked as high as #3 on the international prospect lists and now is under contract.
Hello Kenneth,
Thanks for your feedback.
Team’s top prospects are reviewed and added to the player pool each year for the launch of the new season. If a player is not added at first, you can see when a player will become available in the player pool based on settings in your fantasy league by going to https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN6792.html.
