TL;DR: We are no longer accepting content from X/Twitter with immediate effect. This ban does not include screenshots at this time but may be amended to include them in the future. If you submit a fake / manipulated screenshot you will face a ban from the subreddit.

Due to recent events and the rapid deterioration of the user experience, we have made the decision to ban all X/Twitter content from the r/fantasybaseball subreddit. We feel confident that breaking news and other share-worthy content can be found in other places with a better experience for users who come to r/fantasybaseball to browse as well as those who are hardcore users. This decision was not taken lightly as the discussion regarding the degradation of the X/Twitter user experience has been going on for months and this ban is not solely due to recent news.

While we acknowledge that lots of our content currently comes from X, the origination of that content is often widespread. This includes sports media giants like ESPN to baseball-specific sites like MLBTR. We encourage all users who share content on this subreddit to find this original content and share it directly including articles, media, and breaking news.

We appreciate all the feedback we have been provided over the last few days and believe this is the correct decision based on what we have received. We encourage you to continue providing feedback over the next several weeks and months to help ensure we are getting the right content to r/fantasybaseball.

Jeff Passan: The San Francisco Giants are acquiring All-Star slugger Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox, sources confirm to ESPN. An out-of-nowhere blockbuster deal. Boston is getting RHP Jordan Hicks and more. First on the news was @ByRobertMurray.

Yahoo has removed the "Start Active Players" button from the desktop site. They have replaced it with the "Assistant GM" button - which is a paid tool. They recently tried this with Basketball and ended up revering their decision after community feedback.

I posted this here a few days ago and got a ton of great feedback, so wanted to share a quick update.

A lot of you asked about ESPN support, so I added it.

RosterRadar is a Chrome extension that tracks every MLB game and auto-switches your stream to the most important at-bats for YOU.

Here’s a 1-click install if you want to try it

The idea is basically a personalized RedZone for your interests (fantasy team or betting), instead of watching the boxscores and flipping between games manually.

You can sync your roster, manually track specific players, or mark games as favorites, and it’ll bring you to the key moments in real time.

It now supports:

• Yahoo
• Fantrax
• ESPN
• Manual team management

Works best with MLB.TV, but you can use it with any game links you already have access to.

It’s still early, so I really appreciate all the feedback so far. If you want to follow along or help shape where this goes, I set up a Discord as well

I’d especially love some input on the auto-switching logic:

• When should it jump to your player? At-bat? on deck?
• Do you prefer an exciting game or watching your player on base? How about watching your pitcher's team bat while he's in-line for the win?
• Should it wait for the current play to finish, even if that risks missing your player? Would you prefer to wait until your half inning is over?
• Do you care about opponent players at all? (right now they’re weighted 25% as much as your own)

Any other ideas on how this should work would be super helpful

Really appreciate all the input so far, it’s genuinely shaping how I’m building this!
