Dynasty/Keepers - Leave league open to allow trading, adds, and drops during the offseason.
This would allow managers to make all league transactions within the platform, including adds, drops, and trades, throughout the year.

we need yahoo baseball available all year round...or you risk losing many of the experienced players who bring many new players, to fantrax, CBS etc. Get on this...should have been done YEARS AGO! you could even add ALL the dynasty and keeper options other sites have but charge $10 instead of $120 like CBS!

This request should be Yahoo's top priority! Allow offseason player trading and draft pick trading, so us Commissioners don't have to manually do it every spring. ( my dynasty league has 20 teams 25 man rosters and about 30 offseason trades every winter)

I have had a dynasty league on Yahoo now for over 10 years, and what lacks the most in Yahoo that is pushing me to other hosts is the offseason. You shut the site down for the offseason so all player trades, and draft pick trades has to be done manually by me every spring. Why not just keep the site up so we can all use it year round.

Agreed 1000 percent. My league has winter meeting votes on rules and rookie applications. Keeping league home page and message board open year round would be extremely nice.

If leagues were available on yahoo all year it would be much easier to keep records of all trades. It would allow everyone in that league to view the league and updates on players at any time they wanted.

Please allow us to maintain and manage our teams for a full year. Just because the season is over, doesn't mean we don't make offseason trades and your current platform of making commissioners drag and drop keepers, and moving draft picks around using a drop down menu can cause a lot of errors. Allow teams to trade players and draft picks in the offseason. All sports

I agree totally. My dynasty leagues would like to trade and use league messenger all year long.

Please don't shut down the league access during the off-season.
Owners want to communicate, set draft times and rule changes, and see stats all year round.

This would keep my league with Yahoo. I've been with you guys running a 3 sport keeper league for 14 years and entering in all the offseason and preseason trading manually is a huge inconvenience. Not to mention tracking it all particularly with draft pick trading. Almost all the other sites are doing this and my league mates want me to move our league. Help!!!!

Can we please enhance the dynasty options within Yahoo?
I do dynasty options in both baseball and football. Football is based off of salary where as baseball is based on draft picks. I understand that every league is different but my request is rather easy.
I would love if Yahoo would make it easier in the transition from one year to the next. If I look at my 2019 roster on the app, it's blank. I get it, we haven't drafted yet. But until that draft occurs, it would be helpful if the rosters weren't blank and if trading were available.
Having to work trades in the offseason through text messages and then bouncing back between which rounds I have picks in 2019, where I drafted players last season in 2018 and where each player I want to trade for was drafted is a huge pain **********. If I could just go to a website to figure this out and offer the trade, it would be a lot more efficient than agreeing to a trade via text, going into the message boards to post the trade once its agreed upon and where draft picks are including, needing to worry about our commissioner going in and getting the trades correct prior to the draft, it's a hassle that's really not needed.

I'm in the 10th year of my dynasty league. I would like to be able to manually designate players as Keepers throughout the season. Other managers will then be able to see the K next to a keeper to avoid confusion when adding or trading for players. Currently I have to manually maintain a list which is very time consuming.
Quick example... Managers pick their keepers pre-draft, those players have the "K". We hold draft, all newly drafted players (all keepers by my leagues rules) don't receive K. Mass confusion all season and offseason.
Thank you!

This has been something that should have been implanted years ago. It’s nexessary for keeper leagues. ESPN has had this feature for years. The commissioner having to manuall edit teams and keep up with draft pick trades in order for this to happen is ridiculous.

Sure would help seeing as i can't make any moves to free up some space (DL,NA) so i can make some moves.

Agreed! Fantrax has this. So should Yahoo. Especially in keeper and dynasty leagues, there is a huge need for this.

Yes this should have happened already. Other sites allow for year round leagues, I am surprised Yahoo doesn’t do it. Please, please allow for this function this year.

Yes this would be a great thing and I am surprised Yahoo hasn’t done this yet. I know other sites offer this option and it would great if Yahoo did too.

So far it seems that Yahoo does not want to cater to Dynasty baseball leagues. Year after year they have an endless number of players week after week. Who are available on every other site before they are called up & not available on Yahoo until after they are called up. Making it by far the worst site for Dynasty leagues out there. We shall see if they do a better job of it this year. I hope so but I doubt it. Last year it was bought up a multitude of times on their forums for complaints & there seemingly canned response was. We know you don't like it That is the way we do it. We are not changing it Problem solved SMH
