Stat corrections for suspended games should apply to the day those stats were actually recorded
When a game is suspended and resumed later in the week new starting pitching will often come into the game, and this often takes the place of their regularly scheduled weekly start. However, managers aren't able to know this beforehand, and if that player is on their bench the day the game starts (considering there is no reason to have them in the lineup if they aren't scheduled to start that day) those stats for the week will go to waste. I believe this system needs to be revised to either allow managers to retroactively change their roster for suspended…

Latest News
Can you please add the date that each news item was listed on the players. Example: when I click on the 'blue' note next to a player's name, I know there is a new item. It changes color when it's been read. This is great!
BUT writing Friday next to the info doesn't do me any good. Especially if the note is from 2 weeks ago. So instead of writing 'Friday' only please write Friday's date like 6/20. Thank you for considering my suggestion.Genevieve Bouldin

Don’t change midseason
Please return to your team and player profiles. This isn’t the time of the season to change. These are important features for players like me. I’m older and this certainly takes away of my enjoyment

Bug in New Yahoo Baseball Player Profile Page
On the new yahoo player profile page that just went live, there is a bug with pitcher metrics for players who were traded to a new team. For the season stats, it is straight adding a pitchers ERA from one team with the ERA from the other team.
Ex: Chris Paddack had a 4.95 ERA with the Twins and now has a 1.50 ERA with the Tigers. The new page is adding these two together and showing he has a 6.45 ERA for the season. These two should not be added together like wins and loses. It would need to…

Remove torpedo bat icon
Please remove the Torpedo Bat icons from players or make them optional using the Commissioner's Tools, so they can be turned off for a league that doesn't want them. They are not updated or accurate (Jazz Chisholm has an icon but it's reported here he hasn't used one in months: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6494560/2025/07/15/mlb-home-run-derby-torpedo-bats-fad/). The use of a torpedo bat has no tangible impact on a players' hitting ability. The data being wrong is akin to putting in wrong batting averages or other data for players.
Thank you for considering my idea.

Option to turn off league chat notifications for manual add/drops
Please add a setting that lets users disable league chat messages when they manually add or drop a player. Right now, these moves always show up in the chat, even if the user doesn’t want them to. Waiver claims don’t show up in chat, which is great—please give us the same option for manual moves. Thanks!
Hi,
You can disable notifications for league transaction messages. You can go to https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN24674.html for Android and https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN29039.html for iOS.

Hire people who know fantasy
This is the second time that a trade I was involved in gone vetoed. Both trades were perfectly fine. It’s like if someone vetoes it your website accepts that veto. It has to be run by a computer. It’s a joke I paid money to be in your league and this is total ********. Get better yahoo cause I’m done with your pro leagues if you can’t take them serious.
Public Prize League managers have 2 days to lodge an official protest with the Yahoo Sports League Office. Protests must contain a description of why the trade should be vetoed. Only 1 manager needs to protest a trade in a Public Prize League for the League Office to initiate the trade review process:
- Reviewed within 24 hours, after the 2-day league review period.
- Notes left by managers involved in the trade are taken into consideration.
- Once the trade is accepted or rejected by the League Office, the decision is final and explanations aren't provided.

Player's list additional "Status"
Add an "Active Today" (or inactive, or similar) category to the "Status" drop-down menu (which includes options like Available Players, Free Agents, Keepers, Waivers, Watch List, etc.).
While the green number (batting order) and the red "X" are helpful visual cues, adding this filter would streamline/expedite the process of comparing stats.
This feature would also help fantasy managers in leagues that allow "Active-today" pickups to refine their searches during the final moments, at crunch time.
It's not a "fixed" filter, but rather one that will keep on "feeding" itself as minutes go by. It's similar to the probable pitchers: if…

Why dont the matchup ratings show up any longer?
Matchup ratings (the stars) dont show up on the team pages hardly ever anymore? Typically when I check in the morning. . . the vs pitcher shows up but there is no matchup rating advice. This is a handy feature for quick lineup updates in the daily game. Please update/ get it back to how it used to be.

Don't push trades from 2 days to 3 days because one team member vetoed a fair trade that is going to be processed.
I recently made a trade that was accepted on a Saturday to be processed on Tuesday, either later on Saturday or on Sunday I noticed the trade processing time was moved to Wednesday. I was told that was due to at least one team member vetoing the trade (the trade being incredibly fair to both teams involved and I knew it would pass anyway) so this was annoying.
To make matter worse, one of the players that I was trading for was a Starting Pitcher (SP) who was scheduled to pitch on Tuesday, the SP ended up pitching a great…

benched player in a rain delay
if a player is not starting, but you have them in your lineup. There is a rain delay, yahoo doesn't let you sub them out. regardless of a rain delay a person should be able to take them out of their starting lineup. Sometimes it is a last minute change by the MLB team and you are screwed. You should give us the flexibility to take the player out even if the game has started. The player shouldn't be locked in and not be able to be substituted out.
Hello Terry,
If a player’s game is officially postponed (PPD), you can move that player to the bench and swap him out for another player on your roster even after the game's originally scheduled start time. Note that if any stats have been counted for the game (for any player) before the game is postponed, the roster position will remain locked and cannot be edited.
Players in games with a status of delayed will be locked. Only when the game is officially postponed will the player be unlocked.

Player Position Change
Please, Joe Boyle has been a long inning reliever and should have RP eligibility too.
Hey Rob,
Players changing positions can affect how you manage your team. Their positions are determined based on info from the MLB roster and past performance. Once the player has gained eligibility, they won't lose it even if they don't make additional appearances in the season.
Determine position eligibility
The number of games a player completes determines position eligibility.
- Position eligibility – 5 starts or 10 total appearances in a position.
- Pitcher eligibility – 3 starts to be a starter, or 5 relief appearances to qualify as a reliever.
Use the position eligibility countdown
The number under each position shows how many games remain until the player is eligible for that position. If an "E" appears in the column, they're already eligible to play.
- Under the "Players" tab, click Position Eligibility.
- Type the player's name into the available field.
- Click Search.
Thanks,

Change H2H All-Star Week Counting
Rather than add the 3 days post-all-star to the end of Week 15, it should start Week 16. Strategy going into Sunday is difficult to manage, and the notification at the top of the desktop is not enough when many users access their teams through the app which had no notification of the extra days.

Change the extended all star week schedule back to what it used to be
It used to be the week ended and then the week of the all star game started a new week on Friday into a 10 day week, which is the most fair. This essentially means any team's starting pitchers would pitch twice and keep things fair/level. The new schedule continuing after the all star game puts some teams at a huge disadvantage of their pitchers get pushed out to the following week and their opponents pitchers all pitch in the first 3 days. We saw violent swings in the end result of our league before this and the change made…

Post the reason why trades get veto
I had a trade voided. It was a fair trade. I would like to know the comments that the other managers used to veto the trade. Maybe I am wrong but I thought that yahoo was to see if the comments have value. I hope yahoo just doesn’t just rubber stamp trade vetos.
Thank you

The "Start Active Players" option is broken.
If a player selects "Start Active Players" it should start the optimum lineup, but it does not. The start % of the player should determine who is starting. My recent experience of Josh Smith starting at SS over Trea Turner is the final straw. In what universe is that the best choice? It is as if that function finds the worst possible lineup and goes with it, so long as active Pitchers are starting.
Start Optimal Players is an available feature that is part of Fantasy Plus: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/overview-yahoo-fantasy-sln35629.html

Why are you extending the week past the All Star Game?
Who's idea was it to include this upcoming 3 day week with LAST week? It would have made more sense to start the next week with the 3 days then extend it to the following week coming up instead of having a week end prior to the All star week which was a FULL WEEK and then have us wait thru the All Star Break for the week to be complete. The person who came up with that bright idea really needs to wake up. That is ridiculous. But of course your platform is more worried about the gambling aspect…
