OUTFIELDER CATEGORY, LIM DONG-GYU

-We've been doing this every year! -That's what we're supposed to do!

I see.

We'll contact Lim Dong-gyu.

I'll buy drinks, so stop worrying. All right?

All right. General manager?

General manager!

General manager!

Did you see the Golden Glove Awards last night?

Our very own Lim Dong-gyu received two awards.

-Yes. -That's why there is so much buzz.

He donated the prize, worth 3 million won, to his colleagues

and Dreams Baseball Club.

He even donated his Fair Play Prize, worth 4 million won, to dosshouses.

He even received the Fair Play Prize?

That's the kind of player Lim Dong-gyu is.

About the trade negotiations…

The prize winner, Lim Dong-gyu, is here.

Hey!

Lim Dong-gyu!

Are preparations for the interview going well?

Why do you keep making me do all this work?

It's not like you have anything else to do.

I get my pay even if I don't work.

All right, everyone.

For tonight's dinner, we're all going to eat out

thanks to Lim Dong-gyu, who is paying!

General manager.

Do you like lamb meat?

I do not.

Come in.

I have a question.

-Is it regarding Lim Dong-gyu? -Do you know him well?

I don't know him personally.

I don't know him personally either.

Do you know what WAR is?

Doesn't it stand for wins above replacement?

-Yes.

Lim Dong-gyu's WAR is top five in the entire league

even when you include the pitchers.

You're right. He must be a great athlete.

I'm talking about Lim Dong-gyu, the Dreams' franchise star

to the Dreams' new general manager.

Did you hear the speech Lee Dong-gyu gave while accepting his prize?

He said he wanted to retire while still a member of the Dreams.

I heard him speak of him wanting to have his number retired.

If he plays for a few more years,

he will be qualified to have his number retired.

His uniform sales alone take up 70 percent of sales.

Out of all the fans who come to see the games,

70 percent has his name on the back of their shirts.

Are you aware of the weight he carries while you carry this out?

I'm very curious to know how much you actually know

about the Dreams.

I'm trying to know more

and I'm sure that I know more than you're worried about.

-But Ms. Lee? -Yes.

Did the previous general manager have to get your approval as he did his job?

No.

Then, do I have to persuade you as I do my job?

It's just because it's an important matter.

If it is such an important matter,

why do I have to get your approval as I do my job?

Are you demanding of me something you didn't of the previous general manager

because you think I don't know baseball?

Are you going to stay here?

I'll get going.

Mr. Lim Dong-gyu.

-What? -What?

You can talk casually to me as well.

This is my home.

The Dreams is my home.

There is just so much that I've done here for the past 11 years.

But one day, a crazy fool who knows nothing about baseball

decides to come and take away my home.

I guess you don't know your real place because everyone's sucking up to you

and calling you general manager.

Hey.

Do you leave your home when your housekeeper tells you to?

I don't have a housekeeper.

I've hit 270 home runs on this team during the last 11 years.

How many hits do you think I have under my belt?

Do you know how many wins we achieved thanks to me?

Do you know how messed up…

your plan and what you're saying are?

Mr. Lim Dong-gyu.

Your job is hitting home runs and running around.

My job is to reorganize the team and negotiate trades.

Is it just our places that are different?

No, our positions are completely different.

Enough. I'll show you.

I'll show you just what kind of strength

someone who's played baseball well for 11 years has.

Just watch and see.

Are you training at this late hour?

You must be tired with all the work.

I've made the decision on my own without discussing it.

DREAMS MANAGER YOON SUNG-BOK

Are you going to carry this out?

Are you going to be against it?

It won't be easy.

But you know that it must be done.

I'll get going.

What is this?

Sorry.

I don't know how lofty you are,

but don't you think you should walk with better care?

-Answer me! -What are you doing?

-What would you like to have? -Ma'am, two servings of Korean beef

Just give us two servings of pork neck and a bottle of soju.

-And a beer each, please. -Okay.

Come on. Let's eat beef today. It's on me.

Not yet.

What do you mean?

I'm not that pathetic to fawn over a young boy

who joined the company by nepotism just to eat beef.

But I want to eat beef.

I'll practice noblesse oblige.

If you wanted to eat beef, you should've gone home, you bourgeois.

Don't try to stimulate the appetite of the humble class.

I'll live without remembering what beef tastes like.

Humble people also should enjoy some luxury from time to time…

Wait.

Isn't he Lim Dong-gyu?

He is. Just pretend we didn't see him.

Why do we have to do that? It's not us who decided the trade.

-He's coming this way. -Don't look at him.

-Hello. -Hi.

You're here.

They're my friends.

It's good to see you.

I see. Nice to meet you.

I should treat you to some meat.

It's all right.

Meat tastes better only when I pay for it.

Have a good time.

I can see you don't really want to talk to me.

-Then, have a good time. -Thank you.

Hello?

Who?

EMERGENCY ROOM

Hello.

I'm here to see a patient named Baek Seung-soo.

The one who was assaulted?

Yes. How is he?

He's getting some rest right now.

May I ask what your relationship with him is?

We work at the same company.

-Why did you call me, by the way? -His phone had no saved numbers.

-And you were in the recent call history. -Sorry?

-Why? -We don't know that either.

What? Why didn't he save any numbers?

Yes. I think he got into a fight and got beaten.

Does he think he's still a kid?

You should be a decent old man as you grow older.

Can you stop backbiting me?

I should go. Bye.

And am I an old man?

You can go home.

Stop. Don't move yet.

I'm fine alone. Move.

We got a report call.

You got suddenly assaulted?

Please tell us about his appearance.

He had a big body and was wearing loose pants

and a flowery shirt.

I think you can check the security camera in the alley.

It's Lim Dong-gyu, right?

What do you mean?

I ran into him at a restaurant before I came here.

And he came with someone

who looked exactly the same as the one you described.

Isn't it just your assumption?

He's such a scary guy.

Is this because of the trade?

What he thinks regarding it is not important.

-Goodbye. -Bye.

As for Lim Dong-gyu…

I'm not telling you that you need my permission or something.

Do you have to trade him no matter what? What if he attacks you again?

That's my job.

Then I'll report him instead for hiring a man to assault you.

-Never do that. -Why?

Only a silly general manager would report the most expensive player to the police.

I'd rather remain silent and sell him at a high price.

Gosh. Is it that important…

I know it's important.

Still…

Seriously.

Welcome back…

Who did that?

Pretend you saw nothing. Then, I'll raise your allowance.

Who did that to you?

You know I wouldn't just let him walk away with it.

Then?

Don't you remember?

I even held out in the Korean wrestling team.

Compared to that, it's nothing.

-Are you really okay? -I am.

It's easier to deal with this kind of guy.

We both are just getting used to each other.

BATTING AVERAGE

BY LOCATION, PITCH, SITUATION

HELLO SPORTS

Heung-man, it's me.

Here's your coffee.

The life of a young general manager is very dynamic.

MMA teams would fit him better.

I would've taken a day off if I were him.

Look at him. He letting everyone know he got beat up?

He's from a small league, he doesn't know the importance of maintaining authority.

I don't think he'd last long here, anyway.

The proposal to trade Lim Dong-gyu wouldn't even get permission.

-That's what I think. -Never.

-The coffee you make is the best. -It's my pleasure.

The guy you met last night

seems to be fine.

Thanks.

Should I take care of him again?

No, you don't have to. I know you're tired too.

I guess you were too tired to give him a good blow.

Sir, I'll call you again when I get it done properly.

Is he out of the office?

HELLO SPORTS

It's Kim Kwan-sik.

What are you doing here?

I'd like to take you home today.

Don't make a fuss over nothing. It'll be awkward on the way.

Did you think of anything to talk about on our way home?

-No. -Then, I'll go by myself.

-Twenty minutes is too long for me. -But I have a lot of topics to talk about,

so I can just pick some from them.

Don't worry. It's all about our work.

Are you still figuring out what topic to talk about?

What?

Did you decide to trade Lim Dong-gyu because you knew what kind of guy he was?

No, I didn't know he was this bad.

I'm not trying to oppose trading him while I'm aware of the situation.

But…

when I try to come up with a player that can replace him,

I feel frustrated.

Yes, I'm preparing for that.

Can't you prepare for that with the operations team?

This is also our job.

-Do you know whose car that is? -Pardon?

It's been following us for a while.

HEUNG-MAN…

Get out.

-Hey. -Get out of the car.

I don't feel good about this.

I told you to get out!

-Get out. -Get out of the car!

112…

-I said get out. -112…

Don't call the police.

-What are you doing? -Get out.

Get out now!

Yes, Heung-man.

Who on earth is Heung-man? We should be calling the police!

We can't call the police.

-Get out. -Get out of the car.

-Get out, you scumbag! -Hey!

Open the door!

That's my car.

No.

You hit my car.

Why did they stop?

Who are you?

I'm Cheon Heung-man, a former Korean wrestler.

Who are you supposed to be?

I even won the championship and all.

Is he on our side?

Enough about me.

I have a few friends in this town.

So we should have a lot of mutual friends.

Wouldn't it be awkward when we meet at a bar later?

I'll give you a chance to quietly leave.

You freak.

Come here!

How dare you?

You little jerks.

Why did you do it?

We were driving, and…

We often do it.

-It's called driving for revenge. -Hey.

Just because I've been obeying the law by being an athlete,

do I only look like a good citizen to you?

It's called retaliatory driving. not revenge driving.

Yes, retaliatory driving.

Were you really not told by someone to do this?

What?

No.

If someone did order you to do this,

tell the person that this will be the last time I'm tolerating it.

Yes, I will.

You're badly injured.

Is this from when you were beaten yesterday?

Well…

I'm fine now. Thank you.

That piece of trash. Do you want me to talk to him?

But they say his uniform takes up 70 percent of the sales.

-Excuse me? -What?

It means that he's a very important person.

But thank you.

This is exactly why I said I'd get home myself.

This is also why I was driving you home.

Would they have done it on public transportation?

By the way, who was that?

When I was the general manager of a Korean wrestling team,

he was the captain.

He found the perfect time to come in.

He did.

-I'll be coming in late tomorrow. -Okay.

On what occasion?

How frustrating.

Play, play!

You've come so far in this cold weather.

-Who are you? -Right. Hello.

Wait.

I'm the general manager of Dreams, Baek Seung-soo.

You're Kim Jong-moo,

-the Vikings general manager, right? -Yes, I am.

Wait.

No, I'm not.

Yes, you're right. What do you want?

Are you here to observe Son Seung-Min, the third baseman?

-He's a prospect we're keeping an eye on. -Come on.

Is this tampering or what here?

It's really not.

I just wanted to see his face. What's wrong with you?

Sure.

Have you heard the rumor about us?

What rumor?

You must have heard.

You're quick with all the news.

So, why are you selling him?

-You can't find a power hitter like him. -I'm not. It's not that I'm selling him.

But it's just that I might trade him if the Vikings want a deal.

Seriously. I just got out of that noisy Seoul.

Now you want to cause me trouble.

What do you say we make it a win-win situation by negotiating?

That's good!

Is he here?

-He's not. -What?

I don't know what his deal is,

but why does he want to trade Dong-gyu all of a sudden?

If we take him out of the team now, they'll freak out.

We have pictures of him everywhere in our building.

How ridiculous would it seem from his perspective? Seriously.

It would sound more realistic if he traded the general manager.

I don't know anymore.

As I get older, words like passion sound burdensome

because of people like him.

It's because he was never a baseball player.

Would he really sell Dong-gyu?

He says he's going to.

"No matter what."

Didn't you hear him say that?

If he does, we'll see who he trades him for.

It doesn't matter who he trades him for.

In this town, Dong-gyu is the president of baseball.

But it's not like he needs our permission to do so.

But as someone new in his post,

he's a little reckless, wouldn't you agree?

He's still the general manager even if he's new.

OPERATIONS MANAGER

Kwan-sik.

To play in a team that desperately wants you…

Listen.

I am in ninth place for holds this season.

You're going to regret doing this.

That's my record when I haven't played much because of my injury.

I'm confident I can make at least 20 holds.

Yes, I know you can.

But rather than being traded all of a sudden,

I'm saying this for your sake.

-Kwan-sik. -Come on.

The Dreams? Are you kidding me?

Hey, do you think this makes sense?

No matter how much I've contributed during this season,

they're doing this because they're short on batters.

And who goes to play for the Dreams?

-Is that even a team? -The Dreams are also a team.

I apologize.

Whether you pitch well here or pitch well there,

people will always clap for you.

Yes.

-Goodbye. -Goodbye.

He's the one that was kicked out of the Dreams.

He wouldn't like someone badmouthing his former team.

What is it?

Hey, are you joining our team?

Who said that?

Was it your team?

They're saying you and Kwan-sik will be traded. He's all mad.

What?

What a lunatic.

He's causing this mess to trade me with a guy like Kim Kwan-sik?

He's good too.

I'm hanging up.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

It's good to see you.

Reporters.

I might change teams.

Golf teams? Did you get into a fight?

-Who did you fight with? -No.

-Baseball teams. -What are you talking about?

Stop kidding around.

I've dedicated myself to the Dreams,

but they're trading me with Kim Kwan-sik.

I can't even cry about it.

Your general manager is crazy.

Why would the Dreams trade Lim Dong-gyu for anyone?

It's not certain yet, so please keep it a secret.

Let's drink.

My goodness.

Let's drink.

-The drinks tasted sweet like honey today. -I know, it was so sweet.

-All right. -What?

Thank you, everyone.

-Don't mention it. -No problem.

-Go home safely. -Bye.

Let's go.

Dong-gyu. Let's go for another round.

I'm sorry. It's too late.

Please support me so I can keep thanking you.

Sure thing.

In that sense,

I prepared this for you.

You shouldn't do this.

Okay, you can count on me.

See you around.

-Goodbye. -Bye.

I mean, Ms. Lee was siding with him,

so I thought he promised to recruit someone grand

in exchange for Lim Dong-gyu.

But what is this?

I couldn't help but think that Ms. Lee changed too.

I have to call someone.

She has no one to call.

What's with this mood?

Come here for a second.

Come here. I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Are you going into some kind of an affectionate relationship

-with the general manager? -What?

You know, like carefully getting to know each other

as a man and a woman.

What was that for?

Right, you uncivilized people!

I did try to have some friendly communication

with the general manager!

Good. There's no way you can communicate with him.

-You badmouth me when I'm not around! -Stop hitting me already.

He wants to trade Lim Dong-gyu with Kim Kwan-sik.

-What? -I mean…

It's true Kim Kwan-sik had good results this year, but he lacks ground

and is a middle relief pitcher, we need a starting pitcher.

Come in.

You're working on something, aren't you? I'm interested in it very much.

Interested in what?

Lim Dong-gyu.

He indeed is influential here and there.

What do you mean?

Didn't you call me in to say I can't proceed with it?

Mr. Baek, I hired you.

Don't I look like I'll support you with a sense of responsibility?

Anyway, will it work?

Is that the look of caution that I'm seeing?

I was just asking how you'd wield your authority.

Okay. I'll try to wield my authority well.

I think I did a great job hiring you.

I mean, what kind of lunatic would think of trading Lim Dong-gyu

with someone else in the Dreams?

I'll tell the president to approve it no matter what.

I'll probably keep

being on your side.

PRESIDENT'S OFFICE

What's that with Kim Kwan-sik?

It's pending.

I'll ask if any other teams want

-to trade a player with him. -We can't trade him with…

Who told you that?

That's not important right now.

-Everyone knows about it. -You don't even know where it started.

Must I resolve that misunderstanding?

It's because I didn't hear anything from you.

-Because nothing has been decided. -You can't even share what's pending?

Can't you trust me?

You don't work with trust.

I'm just saying we should do our jobs properly.

THE DREAMS'…

GENERAL MANAGER BAEK'S OPINION…

SEND

THE ARTICLE HAS BEEN SENT

IS THE TOP STAR OF THE DREAMS CHANGING TEAMS?

THE DREAM'S FACE SAID TO BE MOVING.

GEN MANAGER'S OPINION WAS GREATLY REFLECTED ON THE ISSUE.

-Is he out of his mind? -Who else could be their star

-other than Lim Dong-gyu? -Why can't that new manager

-do a better job? -He's so frustrating I may have cancer.

BAEK SEUNG-SOO, DREAMS BAEK SEUNG-SOO, NEPOTISM

SEARCH KEYWORD LIST OF THE DREAMS

GENERAL MANAGER BAEK, OUT!

FIRE THE GENERAL MANAGER.

That's not true. We aren't trading Lim Dong-gyu with anyone.

That article is wrong, so ignore it. I told you that it's not true!

Yes, goodness.

I told you. It's a false report.

We know nothing about it, so how can we trade him?

-No, we don't! -Yes.

Of course. We will announce it as soon as it's decided…

Hey. Where's the general manager?

I don't know. Where on earth is he?

Why do we have to clean up his mess?

I'm going to the general manager's office.

Really? I'm going with you.

-Good. Let's go. -Gosh.

-Are you really going? Don't. -We have to.

Let's go then.

Hey.

-Where are you going? -Well…

-To the general manager's office. -Why?

To make a statement.

"Not Kim Kwan-sik. There's nothing left to ruin in this team."

Why didn't you tell me?

You're almost like his lackey…

Hey, he hates me the most because I complained most often.

Why are you acting like you're all active now?

Where are you going? Go with me.

Mr. Baek.

We need your explanation.

Why must we send Lim Dong-gyu out by trading him with Kim Kwan-sik?

Does Dong-gyu even tell you to do something like this?

Mr. Baek.

I want everyone to gather in the meeting room in an hour.

-In an hour? -That's it?

All right.

Let's return to our desks first

and gather again in the meeting room later.

Let's go back. Let's go.

How is he going to persuade us?

Lim Dong-gyu doesn't even have any injuries.

I'm afraid I won't be persuaded either.

Let's begin.

WHY LIM DONG-GYU MUST LEAVE THE DREAMS

FIRST, HE'S A COWARD.

He's a coward.

You must be familiar with his home runs and batting average.

It makes you think he's valuable.

His batting average with RISP is 0.307.

Even though it's lower than his batting average,

-that doesn't make him a coward. -But…

he's ranked the third in game-winners.

Park Jung-chan is ranked first.

He's also a good player, but in second place,

we have Jang Dong-soo with a batting average of 0.27.

He averages 0.33, but he has fewer game-winners

than a player who averages 0.27.

He's not a hero when it comes to winning the game.

Didn't you say he doesn't know much about baseball?

We'll see.

People often say his only weakness is that he's easily affected by heat.

But the rankings in professional baseball are…

decided in the summer.

POOR RECORD IN JULY, AUGUST

He's not a player who's weak against heat, he's just a player who can't contribute

when we compete for the ranking.

Why do we need him so desperately when he hits numerous home runs

after we're set to be in last place?

Our general manager did his homework.

THE BALLPARK IS CHANGING

Let me calculate which team has hit the most home runs.

We have allowed the most home runs and hit the least home runs.

Only Dong-gyu and the opposing batters have taken the advantage

of playing in a smaller field.

So we've begun extending the fence by seven meters,

and this decision was made by both myself and the manager.

With the extended fence,

he loses 12 home runs considering his driving distance.

He's actually not a slugger.

He's a batter of middle and long distance.

With a small number of batters with precision

and a slugger or two in our team,

the player who has nowhere to stand if we extend the fence is Lim Dong-gyu.

The fourth reason. This will be the most important.

It's his…

personality.

Hey, pitchers. Get in line in front of me.

I told you, turn the game around and you didn't!

Baseball is played by the whole team. Show some respect.

You scumbag!

-Stop! -Hey!

-Stop him! -What did you say to me?

You must remember Kang Doo-ki who was in our team two years ago.

He was a pitcher with ten wins, and he had a conflict with Dong-gyu.

I heard that he left our team as recommended by Dong-gyu.

There was not a single evidence of his comments,

but Doo-ki had left our team with no excuses.

Even now, Dong-gyu demands

that we form the team with players that he likes.

Mr. Ko, am I wrong?

Please go on.

Now, Kang Doo-ki currently has 18 wins with the earned run average of 2.28.

He's now one of the top starting pitchers in the league

and is a player who beats the ace player of the opposing team.

It was Dong-gyu who made Doo-ki leave our team.

He is ruining our team.

Now, the fifth reason is the shift in generations.

Dong-gyu is a veteran who won't be able to lead our team for ten years.

But fortunately,

we have prospects on our team who can replace him

just waiting for the opportunity.

OUTFIELDER LEE JAE-HYUNG

Right?

A batting average of 0.42 and 14 home runs.

It's his record in the second-string team, and at the end of last year,

he played 20 games in the first-string team

and he averaged 0.35 and hit 4 home runs.

And he has also shown his potential as a centerfielder.

It's Yeon Joong-sub.

It's time we let him experience and train in a first-string team.

-Mr. Baek. -Yes.

But still, Dong-gyu is the star of our franchise.

As an employee of the marketing team,

I know that most fans of our team come to watch Dong-gyu.

And without him, we won't know what to do

with the uniform sales and the ticket sales.

You want to throw out a player like him.

Have you thought about how it will affect the image of our franchise?

Right.

We need a star of the franchise.

A player that can surpass the presence of him

doesn't exist in our team now.

That's why we should bring a franchise player.

I don't think you know well about what a franchise player is.

How and where are we going to find someone like that?

Last year,

the Vikings lost to the Sabers even with the best pitchers in the league.

-I've negotiated-- -I'm saying

we can't bring Kim Kwan-sik, general manager.

Excuse me.

-Yes. -Say something.

Have you thought about this enough?

All right, then, we'll also get permission from our employees and proceed.

Yes, I hope this will be a win-win situation.

Who was that?

-What have you done? -Let me continue.

We're in need of a starting pitcher,

so we need a pitcher who can be a match for the opponent's ace player, right?

What if a pitcher like that said

that he won't come back to our team if Dong-gyu is still with us?

What if he's a player who's able to boost our players' morale,

has the most number of fans on our team, is from our region,

and is a Golden Glove winner who used to be on our team?

No way.

Nice!

Good.

Good.

What a pity.

Doo-ki!

It's been decided. I'm sorry.

You've done great.

Thank you for sending me to the Dreams!

Ms. Lee.

Please prepare a uniform for Kang Doo-ki.

Kang Doo-ki?

He's coming to our team?

Yes, I just got the call.

He will be joining our team now.

Wasn't it Kim Kwan-sik?

Right. You should prepare another uniform for him too.

Kim Kwan-sik too?

Yes, we'll be handing over the draft right of Son Seung-min,

the high school player who most likely will have priority.

It's a two-for-two trade.

Seung-min's position is the third baseman.

I've made this decision because I heard Park Wan-gu

will be discharged from the army two months later.

I heard Wins Above Replacement is important nowadays.

Considering WAR,

Doo-ki is ranked number 1 in the whole league with the WAR of 7.5.

Dong-gyu has a WAR of 6.2.

We're at the bottom with 14 more defeats,

so we'll still be at the bottom with Doo-ki.

Let's all work harder.

Is there someone who still opposes this trade?

Yes.

I know that the Vikings need more batters.

But Doo-ki is the starting pitcher of the national team.

Is the trade even possible?

Yes. Why?

I don't care if it's Lim Dong-gyu.

I'm not giving you Doo-ki.

He's the ace player of the national team.

Doo-ki has the earned run average of over 4 against the Sabers, doesn't he?

If we're looking at it that way,

why don't you check Dong-gyu's records in the summer?

He's trying to maintain his stats. He's only good in the fall.

Exactly. We don't need a player who's only good in the fall.

But for Vikings, which has been a runner-up forever, he is necessary.

You should be playing well consistently.

What was Dong-gyu's batting average against the Sabers?

Yes, it was 0.42.

Yes.

Instead,

you must turn over Son Seung-min to us.

Yes, if you give us Kim Kwan-sik.

What? Seriously?

Yes.

Is it a shame that I've managed something so difficult?

That's just how it is now.

May I call the Vikings now?

If you still oppose it, please call out my name before I leave.

I'll walk out slowly.

Goodness.

He recruited Kang Doo-ki?

When did he…

This doesn't make sense.

Is it true?

You'll approve, right?

Pack up.

Now.

And take this with you.

About the car repair,

I just paid for it.

Hey.

Drop this nonsense.

Don't behave like this to the Vikings' general manager.

You'll trade me with Kim Kwan-sik?

The fans won't let that happen.

I'm the only one about to be a retired number here.

Do you want to see everyone up in arms?

Why would everyone be up in arms?

Everyone was happy to have Kang Doo-ki in the team.

Kang Doo-ki?

A player like him gets his number retired.

He's good at baseball.

He's respected by his colleagues.

Of course, it was impressive to see you donate gear

and pay for the get-together, knowing you'd be traded.

Thanks to it, the club doesn't know about our bad relationship.

You did well until the end.

The first-line national athlete is joining our team thanks to you.

Why would Kang Doo-ki…

You.

This isn't the end of my 11 years on this field.

It's not even hard to kick someone like you out!

Don't you dare take a step from here.

Hey, Lim Dong-gyu.

What, you punk?

Just go.

You approved of the trade.

Yes.

Why?

You know.

We need Kang Doo-ki a bit more than you right now.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Play well there.

This is insane.

Mr. Lim.

Let me tell you about the current situation.

No one is sad to have you leave.

You know why?

Because Kang Doo-ki is joining in exchange for you.

Ask anyone on the street about who's better.

Be honest with me. You'd agree it's Kang Doo-ki.

Right?

Thus, the general manager has reason.

I'm a rational person, so I had to approve of it.

You should've found reason

like he did.

KANG DOO-KI RETURNS TO HOME TEAM

HUGE TRADE BETWEEN BIKINGS AND DREAMS

-I was happy to have Lim Dong-gyu. -Is Kang Doo-ki joining the team for real?

I'm excited to have Kim Kwan-sik as well.

Thanks for your hard work, Dong-gyu.

I hope you win there.

I've come!

PRESS CONFERENCE WELCOMING KANG DO-KI TO THE DREAMS

-Kang Doo-ki! -Kang Doo-ki!

The two traded players showed different expressions.

Lim Dong-gyu seemed sad

to leave his home team in which he played for a long time.

Isn't that your company?

Mom.

Our team…

What?

If we're lucky…

If we're really lucky…

Gosh, what?

Our team might not place last next year!

What are you saying?

I signed and approved your work this time.

-You know that, right? -Yes.

Seeing how you work,

I couldn't help but root for you as another man.

Mr. Baek.

For the past two years, we won with 43 once

and won 46 another time.

Right.

We won too many times.

Don't you think?

Why do you think I hired you?

I told you.

I hired you because of your unique experience.

Win…

then disband.

Win and disband.

Win…

and again,

disband.

Just do what your experience says.

I'm not asking for much.

Yes, sir.

What kind of a guy do you think Baek Seung-soo is?

I don't work with humanists.

It's a team that's bad at baseball and no future.

We do need changes.

Who's responsible in choosing players?

I think I need to find out.

Has the scouting team ever drafted a player that does his part?

They say our team is a grave for the rising stars.

What're you doing with those priority draft rights?

-You boiling soup with those? -It's an unprecedented

pro team scouting scandal.
