By any Means necessary
Colton & the Wolfman (Wolf/Colton) reclaim $2 for SP John Means' season-ending elbow injury. RIP.
Refund available in Week 11.
Not your father's pickup
In a shocking revelation, SP Cade Povich was ineligible to be picked up in last night's FAAB run. Although the studio audience, upon seeing the results, broke out into a massive fistfight, order was restored and he was returned to the free agent pool. Sabermetrics 101 (Andres) has been awarded $1 in compensatory damages.
One more for Week 9
FanGraphs (Collette) adds OF Corey Julks for $2, dropping Keegan Akin.
Minor FAAB correction
Baseball HQ (Adler) did not have the roster space to pick up 3B Ernie Clement, so that move has been reversed.
Adjustment is official for Week 9.

More like NO-perfido and Blooper
Remember, you can't pick up players in FAAB until they are on an active major league roster. So Rotoballer (Clegg) gets Austin Hays reinstated and a $17 refund to boot.
In addition, the Red Sox didn't activate Garrett Cooper until today when they DFA'd Pablo Reyes so Colton & the Wolfman's pickup of Cooper turns into a $1 Rafael Ortega and a $7 FAAB refund.
You'll all have your chances on those two players next Sunday.
Bieber refund receiver
Baseball Prospectus (Roche) gets $13 in FAAB back for Shane Bieber's season-ending elbow injury.
Also FanGraphs (Collette) gets $16 back for Trevor Story.
Refunds take effect in Week 4
Please refund the $16 I lit on fire for Trevor Story this year foolishly believing he could stay healthy. Thank you
Trade talk Boyles over
USA TODAY Sports (Gardner) sends SP Joe Boyle to Sabermetrics 101 (Andres) for C Ryan Jeffers.
Trade goes into effect for Week 3

March sadness
Unfortunately the three marquee free agents at the time of the LABR drafts have now signed with National League teams. So Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery and J.D. Davis must now be cut from AL LABR rosters.

First FAAB results, roster tweaks
Thanks everyone for a relatively smooth first FAAB run. We didn't have any major snafus, but we did have a couple coin flip tiebreakers.
-- ESPN (Cockcroft) won the three-way flip-off for Yimi Garcia at $6. Colton and the Wolfman (Wolf/Colton) were awarded backup Greg Weissert for $1 and refunded $5.
-- Colton and the Wolfman then won the tiebreaker for Jordan Leasure at $3 over Rotoballer (Clegg) so they get to keep him.
-- Baseball HQ (Adler) had a $2 bid on Brian Anderson voided since he was released earlier Sunday. He gets Josh Smith for that same $2. Also, Dave drops Francisco Mejia instead of Akil Baddoo in his pickup of Matt Thaiss.
I think that's it. Nice job everyone.
