(Golden Glove Awards Lim Dong Gyu on Outfield)
- He's really cool. - Yes, of course.
- That's why. - Gosh.
Do you want to set an interview?
We'll give you a call back soon.
Gosh. I'll treat you to some drinks, so don't worry about it.
Yes. Okay. Mr. Baek.
Mr. Baek.
Did you watch the Golden Glove Awards yesterday?
Lim Dong Gyu won two awards.
Yes.
Everyone's going crazy because of that.
He's donating the 3,000-dollar award money...
to the team for baseball equipment.
The 4,000-dollar award money from the Fair Play Award...
will be donated to people who live in poor housing conditions.
Did he get an award for fair play?
That's how good Dong Gyu is.
About trading him out...
Here's your award winner, Lim Dong Gyu.
Gosh, Dong Gyu.
Are you prepared for your interviews?
Why do you always give me so much work to do?
You wouldn't have any work if it wasn't for me.
I still get paid even if there's no work.
All right, everyone.
Dong Gyu will be treating the team...
to a dinner tonight.
Really?
Mr. Baek.
Do you like lamb meat?
I don't.
Yes.
I have a question, Mr. Baek.
Is it about Dong Gyu?
Do you know a lot about Dong Gyu?
I don't know him personally.
I don't know him personally either.
Mr. Baek, do you know what WAR is?
Wins Above Replacement, isn't it?
Yes.
Dong Gyu is among the top five players,
including pitchers in the league,
who contributed to wins.
Yes indeed. He's an amazing player.
I'm talking about Dreams' franchise star,
Lim Dong Gyu, to the new general manager of the team.
Did you watch his speech when he won the award yesterday?
Yes. That he wants to retire from Dreams when the time comes,
and that his goal is to get a retired number.
If he stays on the team for a couple more years,
he'll become eligible for a retired number.
Also,
the sales of his uniform is 70 percent of all uniform sales.
That means 70 percent of the fans wearing uniforms at the game...
will have his name on their backs.
Do you understand the depth of this situation while doing this?
I'm really curious to know how much you really know...
about Dreams.
I'm doing my best to learn more,
and I probably know much more than what you think.
- By the way, Ms. Lee. - Yes?
Did the previous general manager...
also report to you before making decisions?
No.
Does this mean I have to persuade you when I work?
This is something really important.
If it's so important,
does that mean that I have to...
wait for your permission before I make a decision?
Are you telling me that I need your permission...
because I'm not as experienced as the previous general manager?
Are you going to stand there all day?
I'll get going now.
Lim Dong Gyu.
What?
You can talk informally to me.
This is my home.
The Dreams is my home.
I've accomplished an awful lot here in the past 11 years.
But one day, some clueless kid that knows nothing about baseball...
came in and is trying to take my home away from me.
I guess people calling you General Manager...
made you forget how inexperienced you are.
Would you leave your house when your housemaid tells you to?
I don't have a housemaid.
I've hit 270 home runs in my 11 years of being here.
How many safe hits do you think I've made?
How many games did Dreams win thanks to me?
Do you understand...
how ridiculous your so-called plans are?
Lim Dong Gyu.
Dong Gyu, the baseball player hits home runs and safe hits.
I'm someone who reorganizes the team...
and makes tradeoffs. It's my job.
Are we just on different levels?
No, we just have different positions to begin with.
Shut up and let me just show you.
I'll show you how much power...
a star player who spent last 11 years in the same region has...
on the team.
Are you training at this late hour?
How's work treating you?
Sorry I made the decision without consulting you first.
Are you really going to go ahead?
Are you going to go against it?
It's not going to be easy.
You know that it's the right thing to do.
I'll get going now.
What's your problem?
I'm sorry.
You just rolled in out of nowhere,
how dare you be so arrogant?
Huh?
What are you doing?
- What would you like? - Hello.
Two beef ribs, please.
No, we'll just take two pork necks,
one bottle of soju and one bottle of beer, please.
Okay.
Let's just get beef.
It's on me.
- I'm not there yet. - What now?
I'm not that desperate for beef...
that I'll let some inexperienced newbie...
treat me to a meal.
I want beef.
I'll be the nobleman that does good to the poor.
You should've gone home if you wanted beef,
you bourgeoisie.
Don't you dare try to change the commoner's preferences.
I'm better off not remembering how good beef tastes.
Commoners deserve to be treated at times too.
Look.
Isn't that Lim Dong Gyu?
You're right. Let's just pretend that we didn't see him.
It's not like we're the ones trading him off.
He's coming.
Turn your head away.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello, what brings you here?
They're some friends I know.
Hello.
I should treat you.
No, it's fine.
Barbeque is the best when paid on my own.
Have a great night.
You're being too distant.
Enjoy your dinner then.
Thank you.
Hello?
Who?
(Emergency Center)
Hello,
I received a call from you regarding the patient Baek Seung Soo.
You mean the one who got assaulted?
Yes. How is he?
He's getting some rest.
How do you know him?
I'm his colleague.
Why did you contact me?
He has no numbers saved on his contacts,
so I called the most recent number on his call history.
What?
- Why? - We don't know why.
Why doesn't he save numbers on his phone?
Seems like he got beaten up in a fight.
He's too old for fights.
Don't stay immature like him when you grow old.
Please don't talk behind my back.
I'm hanging up now.
And who's old?
You can go home.
Don't move yet.
I'm fine alone,
just get out of my way.
We received a call.
You got unilaterally beaten up?
Can you describe the people who attacked you?
They were big,
wearing baggy pants...
and shirts with fancy patterns.
You'll be able to spot them...
on the surveillance camera installed on the food alley.
It was Dong Gyu, wasn't it?
What are you talking about?
I ran into Dong Gyu...
at a restaurant right before coming here,
and he was with two guys.
Two guys who looked exactly like the guys you described.
Don't you think you're jumping to conclusions?
I had no idea how scary of a person Dong Gyu is.
Is he doing this because he's being traded off?
What Dong Gyu is thinking isn't that important.
I'll head in now.
Okay.
About Dong Gyu,
I'm not asking you this because you need my approval,
but do you really have to trade him off?
What if he beats you up again?
That's my job.
I'm going to call the police for you,
so that he gets arrested for paying someone to beat you up.
Don't you ever do that.
Why not?
What general manager hands off his best player to the police?
I have to raise him well...
and sell him off for a good price.
Is that really what's important?
I guess it is.
But still...
Seriously?
Are you home?
Who did that to you?
I'll give you more allowance if you pretend you didn't see it.
Tell me.
I'm not the type of person who lets someone just beat me up.
Then?
Don't you remember?
I put up with things even in a ssireum team.
This is a joke compared to then.
- Are you really okay? - Yes.
These kinds of guys are easier to deal with.
We're getting used to each other.
(Batting Average)
(Positions)
(Swing Rate)
Hi, Hong Man. It's me.
Here's your Byun coffee.
Is it because he's young? He's so dynamic.
He should've just gone with mixed martial arts.
I would've taken my day off and rested at home if I were him.
What's that? He's letting everyone know that he got beaten up.
He used to work in a small field,
so he doesn't know the importance of authority.
He might not last for a long time anyway.
Trading Lim Dong Gyu won't even be approved.
- Right? - Right.
- Byun coffee is the best indeed. - Thanks.
About the guy you met yesterday,
he didn't seem badly injured. Good work.
- Should we beat him again? - No, no.
I know you guys are tired.
Your punches weren't strong because you were tired, no?
I'll call you again, after getting it done properly.
Did he go somewhere?
(Kim Kwan Sik)
It's Kim Kwan Sik.
(Kim Kwan Sik)
What is it?
I'll escort you to your house today.
Don't make a fuss. I don't want my way home to be awkward.
Did you think of topics to talk about for the 20 minutes?
- No. - Then I'll just go.
Twenty minutes are too long.
I have so many topics that I need to choose from them.
Oh, don't feel uncomfortable. They're all work-related.
Are you still choosing a topic?
Pardon?
Did you want to trade Lim Dong Gyu because of his personality?
I didn't know he was this low.
It's not that I'm still against it,
knowing this situation.
But...
to think if anyone could replace him,
it makes me frustrated.
Right, I'm working on that.
Can't you work on it with us, the Operations Department?
This is part of our duty, you know.
- Do you know that car? - What?
It's been following us for some time.
(Hong Man)
Get off.
- Darn. - I said, get off.
I don't have a good feeling about this.
- Get off the car. - Darn it.
- Get off. - Get off already!
Goodness. The police... The police.
- The police. - No.
Not the police.
- What are you doing? - Get off.
I said, get off!
- Hey. - Yes, Hong Man.
- Okay. - Who's Hong Man?
You need to call the police!
Not the police, I said.
- Get off. - Get off already!
- Come out, you punk! - Hey!
- Darn it. - Open the doors.
That's my car.
No, no.
You just rammed into our car.
You little...
Why aren't they smashing my car?
Who are you?
I'm ssireum player Cheon Hong Man.
Who's that?
I can't believe they don't know me, the ssireum champion.
Is he on our side?
Forget it. I also have many friends in this area.
I might know a lot of your acquaintances.
It could be embarrassing to see each other later on a drinking occasion.
I'll give you a chance to go back quietly.
You son of a...
You little...
Gosh, you punks.
Why did you do it?
While we were driving... We do this from time to time.
People call it a payback driving, you know.
Hey.
I was busy training myself that I never broke any laws.
And you see me as a good civilian?
Revenge driving is the right term.
Right, I know.
Are you sure no one's behind you?
What?
Well, yes.
If someone made you do this,
do tell him. This is the last time I let it slide.
Okay.
Well, then.
You're badly hurt.
Is that from yesterday?
Well, I'm okay now. Thank you.
That piece of trash.
Should I go talk to him?
No, he takes up 70 percent of the uniform sales.
- Pardon? - What?
It means he's someone very important. Well, thanks.
This is why I told you that I'd go alone.
And this is why I offered you a ride.
They wouldn't have done this if I've taken public transportation.
By the way, who was that earlier?
He was the captain when I worked as a general manager a ssireum team.
He came just in time.
Right.
I'll be at work late in the afternoon tomorrow.
Okay.
But why?
How frustrating.
(Seo Yeong Ho)
Here!
Safe.
You've come far on a cold day like today.
- Who are you? - Hello.
I'm Baek Seung Soo, the general manager of the Dreams.
You're General Manager Kim Jong Mu of the Vikings, aren't you?
That's me.
(General Manager Kim Jong Mu of the Vikings)
You got the wrong person.
Fine. Yes, I am.
What is it?
Are you here to see this school's third baseman,
Son Seung Min?
He's a rising star in our district.
Gosh.
This isn't a tampering or anything.
It's not.
I just came to see his face, that's all.
I see.
Have you heard the news about us?
What news?
You did, didn't you?
You're quick with getting news, aren't you?
By the way,
why do you want to sell him?
Lim Dong Gyu is such a strong hitter.
We're not selling him. I'm not trying to sell him.
I'm just saying we might offer him up...
for a possible deal with the Vikings.
Gosh.
I ran away from Seoul since it's so noisy there.
Now you're the one giving me a headache.
Even if it gives you a headache, why don't we talk...
to make a deal where we both win?
Nice.
- Hey! - Yes.
Good!
Is he here?
- He's not. - What?
What kind of person is he?
He suddenly wants to trade Lim Dong Gyu.
If Dong Gyu leaves right now, it'll be chaos.
Dong Gyu is in every picture of our team.
Dong Gyu must be so speechless.
Gosh.
It makes more sense for Dong Gyu to trade off our general manager.
I don't know.
The older I get, things like passion make me...
feel pressured thanks to people like him.
It's because he doesn't come from a baseball background.
Do you think he'll really send Dong Gyu away?
That's what he's saying.
"I mean it."
Didn't you hear him say that?
If he sends Dong Gyu away, we should see who he brings.
Whoever he brings, Dong Gyu...
is still the top player in this region.
It's not something he has to get our approval for.
But do you agree that he is being reckless...
as soon as he started his job?
Is a general manager not a general manager if he's new?
Kwan Sik.
You should play in a team that needs you more desperately.
I'm ranked ninth on holds this season.
You'll regret this decision.
I still performed well even after getting an injury during training.
I'm confident I can get at least 20 holds.
Yes, I know that.
But it's better than being suddenly traded.
I'm saying this to help you.
Gosh.
- Kwan Sik! - What is this?
Why Dreams?
Hey. How does this make sense?
They're ignoring all of my contributions this season.
Everyone's short on hitters.
Also, who'd go to Dreams? They're hardly a team.
The Dreams is a team too.
- Yes, sir. - I'm sorry.
Whether you play well here...
or there,
everyone will applaud you.
Right.
- I'll get going. - Bye.
He was kicked out of Dreams, right?
Yes, but no one would like it if you bad talk their old team.
- Yes. - Hey, are you joining our team?
Who said that?
Did they say it's your team?
Everyone's saying you'll be traded with Kwan Sik. He's angry about it.
What?
Is the general manager crazy?
All of this was to trade me off for just Kim Kwan Sik?
Hey, Kwan Sik is good too.
I'm hanging up.
Shoot.
- Good work. - Good work.
Dear reporters,
I might...
change teams.
Your golf team? Why? Did you get into a fight?
- Who did you fight with? - No.
- The baseball team. - What are you talking about?
Don't joke with us.
I lived my life only thinking about the Dreams,
but they say I'll be traded with Kim Kwan Sik.
I can't even cry.
Is your general manager out of his mind?
Why would he trade you?
It's not confirmed yet, so please keep it confidential.
Let's eat.
That's crazy.
Do you want any drinks?
Gosh, I'm full.
Drinks taste so sweet tonight.
- It was tasty. - I enjoyed it.
Okay. Thank you, everyone.
- Don't mention it. - Take care.
Drive safe.
Dong Gyu, let's grab one more drink.
I'm sorry, it's getting too late.
Come on.
I hope I can keep looking forward to hearing from you.
Sure, sure.
So...
- I got you a little something. - Hey, hey.
I shouldn't take this.
Okay. Just leave it to me. See you soon.
- Bye. - Bye.
Ms. Lee also took his side,
so I thought they made a deal...
to bring an amazing player to replace Dong Gyu.
But what is this?
I thought maybe Ms. Lee changed too...
Gosh, I have a call to make.
I have to make a call too.
What was that? What's with the strange air?
Ms. Lee, come here for a moment.
Come here. I have something to say to you.
What is it?
Did you and Mr. Baek get to know each other a bit?
- What? - You know, are you guys...
slowly learning about each other as a man and a woman...
Why did you hit me?
Yes, you lowly people!
As the operations manager, I tried to communicate...
with the general manager without any boundaries!
Good job. But what would you communicate with Mr. Baek?
Do you talk behind my back when I'm not around?
Stop hitting me.
He's trading Lim Dong Gyu for Kim Kwan Sik.
What?
Kwan Sik did well this season,
but he's still a middle relief pitcher.
We need a starter.
Come in.
You're onto something right now. Right?
I came because it interests me.
Interested in what?
Lim Dong Gyu.
I guess he's really important...
around here.
What do you mean?
Aren't you here to tell me to not trade him off?
General Manager, I chose you.
Don't I look like the type who'll responsibly support you?
Anyway, do you think it's possible?
Are you looking at me because you can't trust me?
I'm just asking you how you'll be practicing your authority.
All right, I'll exercise my authority properly.
I picked the right General Manager.
What kind of a crazy man...
comes to the Dreams and trades Dong Gyu off?
I'll get Mr. Ko to sign it off.
I have a feeling...
that I'll always take your side.
(CEO Office)
What's all this talk about Kim Kwan Sik?
That's still in discussions.
I'll look for other teams to trade Dong Gyu off to.
How can you think of trading in Kwan Sik for Dong Gyu?
Who did you hear that from?
Is who I heard it from really what's important here?
Everyone knows.
Why should I explain myself when you've approached me...
with some rumor that you don't even know where it began?
Because I've heard nothing from you so far.
That's because nothing is decided yet.
Is it so hard for you to share what's in discussions?
Do you not trust me?
I don't work on a trust basis.
Let's just focus on our roles.
(Rumors say that the Dreams' star player may be traded off.)
(It was mainly General Manager Baek's idea.)
(The article has been sent.)
(Is the Dreams' Biggest Star Moving to Another Team?)
(Rumors say that Dreams' star player may be traded off.)
(It was mainly General Manager Baek's idea.)
Is he insane?
There's no other players worthy to be called a star other than Lim.
What is this General Manager doing?
What a sick man.
(We want Baek Seung Soo out! How did Baek become the manager?)
(Dreams' related keywords are 53 percent. negative.)
(Dreams' related keywords: shocked, a fail, giving up)
(What is Dreams without Lim Dong Gyu?)
(We want General Manager Baek OUT!)
(What are you thinking? Are you insane?)
Why would we trade Dong Gyu off?
Just disregard the article, it's a false rumor.
I'm telling you, it's not happening!
Seriously.
It's a false report.
How can the team trade him off when we don't even know?
- I've never heard of this. - Of course not.
We'll announce it as soon as anything is decided.
Where's General Manager Baek?
No idea. Where is he?
Why should we be the ones cleaning up after his mess?
I'm heading to the General Manager's office.
Really? Let me join you.
Go! Go.
- Are you really going? - You have to do what you have to.
Don't go.
All right, let's go.
Hey.
Where is everyone going?
- To Mr. Baek's office. - Why?
To tell him that bringing Kim Kwan Sik in is a bad decision.
We have to let him know that our team is already screwed.
Why didn't you come to me first?
You have no power.
I argued with him so much...
that he hates me now.
Why are you trying to intercept all my efforts?
Gosh.
Where are you going?
I'll go with you.
Mr. Baek, we want an explanation.
Why should Lim Dong Gyu be traded off...
for Kim Kwan Sik?
Did Dong Gyu make you do this?
Mr. Baek.
Let's have a meeting with everyone in an hour.
- Is this all? - That's it?
Everyone,
let's head back to the office for now...
and meet in an hour.
Let's go back.
All back to the office.
How is he going to convince all of us?
It's not like Dong Gyu is injured or anything.
I don't know if I can be convinced, let alone the rest of us.
We'll start the meeting now.
(Why should Dong Gyu be out of the Dreams?)
Seriously?
What does he think he's doing?
(First, he's a chicken.)
He's a chicken.
You're all familiar with Dong Gyu's home runs and batting average.
Makes him seem like a worthy player, don't you think?
Dong Gyu's BA scoring position is 0.307.
Sure it's lower than his batting average,
but how can that make him a chicken?
But...
he's third on our team for the game-winning hits.
The top player is Park Jung Chan.
He's a good player too. The second on the list...
is Jang Dong Su, who has a 0.270 batting average.
Someone with a 0.330 batting average has fewer game-winners...
than someone with a 0.270 average?
Dong Gyu is surprisingly not the star player here.
I thought he didn't know a lot about baseball.
Let's hear him first.
People say that Dong Gyu has one critical weakness...
and that is heat.
But in professional baseball league,
(Second, Pure Stat Padding)
summer is the key season.
So he's not a player who's weak when it comes to heat,
but rather a player who can't contribute to the ranking
during the most important season.
Why are we so desperate for a player...
who can hit lots of home runs...
after it's decided that we're last on the list?
It seems like he did a lot of studying.
(Third, Changes to Stadium)
Let's see which team has the most home runs allowed.
We've been hit by home runs by other teams the most...
and hit the least number of home runs.
The advantage from a small stadium was taken only by...
players from other teams and Lim Dong Gyu.
So we're currently raising our fences to be 7m higher,
which has been agreed upon between the head coach and me.
Taking this into consideration,
Dong Gyu would have...
12 fewer home runs.
Dong Gyu...
isn't a slugger, but is a mid-to-long distance batter.
Our team has a small number of precise batters...
and a couple of sluggers,
The most inefficient batter after heightening the fences...
is Dong Gyu.
Fourth,
this is the most important part.
It's...
his bad character.
Pitchers, come here.
I told you that we need a miracle, why didn't that happen?
Baseball is a team sport.
Be courteous.
Who do you think you are?
Stop!
Stop it!
What did you just say?
You all remember Kang Doo Ki, who left our team two years ago?
He was a 10-win pitcher.
but had issues with Dong Gyu...
and left...
because of the pressure from Dong Gyu.
Doo Ki couldn't provide evidence...
for what he was reported of saying in regard to the team when he left,
but he still left the team...
without an excuse.
Even now, Dong Gyu is...
trying to organize the team to his liking.
Scouting Manager, am I wrong?
I am listening.
Now.
Doo Ki...
currently has about 18 wins with ERA a little higher than 2,
and is a well-known starting pitcher in the league.
He's the ace of ace, beating other teams' aces.
Dong Gyu was the one that made Doo Ki leave.
Dong Gyu has hence ruined the team.
Fifth,
we need a shift in generations.
Dong Gyu is an old player who can't guarantee the next 10 years.
But it's a good thing...
that we have young players...
who are ready to take his place.
(Outfielders)
Don't you agree?
(Outfielders)
0.420 average, 14 home runs. That's the result for the minor league.
At the end of last year,
he played in 20 games in the major league,
recording 0.351 average and 4 home runs.
He even proved himself capable of defending the center field.
That's none other than Yeon Jung Seop.
It's time for him to grow...
through playing in the major league.
- Mr. Baek? - Yes.
But Dong Gyu is the team's franchise star player.
On behalf of the marketing department,
I'd like to point out that Dong Gyu's fans...
Forget the fact that he has the biggest number of fans.
What about the sales amount of uniforms and tickets?
It's a serious issue.
Besides, you want to kick out a player like him?
Have you ever thought of its impact...
on the image of our club?
Right, we do need a franchise star.
There's no player who can replace Lim Dong Gyu's presence...
within our team.
So we must recruit a franchise star.
I guess you don't know much about franchise stars.
How can we recruit what we don't have and where?
Last year, the Vikings was defeated by the Sabres...
even with the best line of pitchers due to their lack of batting.
- Negotiating with them... - We're telling you.
Not Kim Kwan Sik,
General Manager Baek.
Excuse me.
- Hello? - Say something.
Have you given it enough of thought before making this decision?
Okay, then. We'll proceed after getting the staff's agreement.
I hope it's a win-win for both of us. Bye.
What was that call about?
- What are you... - Let's continue.
We desperately need a starting pitcher.
We need a starter...
as competent as the other team, right?
But what if that someone says...
he can't return to our team...
if we keep Lim Dong Gyu?
He used to encourage and motivate his teammates.
He had the biggest number of fans in our team.
He joined our team as someone from our region.
He was the golden glove pitcher. Now, what do you say?
Don't tell me...
Okay. Nice throw.
Great.
What a shame.
Doo Ki.
It has been decided. I'm sorry.
Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you for sending me to the Dreams.
Ms. Lee.
Please have Kang Doo Ki's uniform ready.
Did you say Kang Doo Ki?
He's joining our team?
Yes, I just got a call.
He's become our team now.
It wasn't Kim Kwan Sik?
Oh, right. Have his uniform ready too.
Him too?
In return, we will hand them the draft right...
on high school player Son Seung Min, the most likely regional first pick.
That's a 2-to-2 trade.
About Son Seung Min's position, the third baseman,
Park An Gu is being discharged from the army...
in two months. That's why I made this decision.
I hear that Win Above Replacement is important these days.
In that sense,
Kang Doo Ki is the first in the league with 7.5.
Lim Dong Kyu, 6.2.
Our team is in the last place with 14 more losses,
so we'll still be last even with Kang Doo Ki.
Let's work harder.
Is anyone still against this trade?
Yes?
I get that the Vikings needs to strengthen their batting.
But Kang Doo Ki is the first on the list of national athletes.
Is this possible?
Yes, why?
Even if it's Lim Dong Kyu,
he can't be compared to Kang Doo Ki.
He's the ace player in the national team.
Against the Sabres,
his ERA records around four.
If then,
how about Lim Dong Kyu's results during summer?
It's the typical example of stat management.
He's good only in fall.
(Stat: Statistic on a player's ability)
Right, but we don't need that.
The Vikings needs it to escape from being the second place forever.
It's better to be constantly good.
Against the Sabres, Lim Dong Kyu's batting average is...
Right, right. It's 0.420.
Right.
Instead,
we want Son Seung Min too.
Sure, if you give us Kim Kwan Sik.
What? Goodness.
Yes. Well...
Do you feel bad that I did something impossible?
It just...
happened to be like this.
I can call the Vikings now, right?
If any of you are still against it,
call my name before I leave this room.
I will...
slowly walk out.
Goodness.
He got Kang Doo Ki?
When?
This doesn't make sense.
Is it true?
You'll approve, right?
Pack up.
Now.
And take this with you.
And about the car repair,
I just paid for it.
Hey.
That's nonsense.
Don't behave like this to the general manager of the Vikings.
You'll trade me with Kim Kwan Sik?
You think the fans will watch it happen?
I will be the only retired number in the history of the Dreams.
Do you want to see the club's bus on fire?
Why would they set the bus on fire?
Everyone was happy when they heard Kang Doo Ki is returning our team.
Kang Doo Ki?
A player like him deserves a retired number.
He's good at baseball,
and he's respected by his colleagues.
Of course, it was beautiful to see...
you donating equipment and paying for the get-together,
knowing that you'd be traded.
Thanks to it, the club doesn't know that we're on bad terms.
You did well until the end.
Thanks to you,
the ace player of the national team is joining our team.
Why would he...
You.
Do you think this is the end of my 11 years of career?
It's a piece of cake to kick someone like you out!
You can't even take a step from now on.
Hey, Lim Dong Kyu.
What, you punk?
Leave.
You approved of the trade.
Yes.
Why?
You know.
We need Kang Doo Ki a little more than you right now.
What can we do about it?
Make good results there.
This is nonsense.
Mr. Lim, let me tell you something.
No one is feeling bad about you leaving.
Do you know why?
Because the player coming to replace Dong Gyu...
is Doo Ki.
Just go up to anybody and ask who's better.
Dong Gyu himself...
would say Doo Ki.
Mr. Baek has all the reasons to proceed with the trade.
I'm a rational person, so I'm in support of this.
Dong Gyu should've...
come up with a good reason like that if you wanted to stay.
(A Legendary Tradeoff Signed, Doo Ki Returns Home.)
(The legendary pitcher, Doo Ki is returning home to the Dreams.)
I had fun supporting the Dreams for Dong Gyu.
Is Doo Ki really returning to the Dreams?
I'm excited to see Kim Kwan Sik play as well.
Dong Gyu worked hard.
I hope the best for him.
(Dreams Related keywords Excited, supporting, fan forever)
(I liked the new General Manager from the start.)
Dreams,
I'm back!
(Kang Doo Ki's Press Conference for joining the Dreams)
- Kang Doo Ki! - Kang Doo Ki!
Doo Ki and Dong Gyu looked quite different today.
We could tell that Dong Gyu felt emotional...
as he was leaving the team he's been playing for years.
Hey, isn't that where you work?
Mom,
I think our team might,
- What? - if we are really lucky,
Yes?
In case we are really lucky,
What?
we might not be the last next year.
What are you talking about?
Oh, for my dreams
- Cheer loud for your dreams - What are you doing?
Dreams will no longer be the last!
Dreams, stand up again!
I'm the one who approved...
of your decision.
- You know that, right? - Yes, sir.
You make it impossible...
to not support you...
as a man.
Mr. Baek,
in the past two years,
we had 43 wins...
and then 46 wins.
Yes.
We won too many times,
don't you agree?
Why do you think I chose you?
I told you,
I chose you because you have a very unique resume.
The championship,
then disbandment.
The championship,
then disbandment.
The championship,
then once again,
disbandment.
Please do as you've done.
I'm not asking for much.
Yes, sir.
(Hot Stove League)
What kind of a person do you think Mr. Baek is?
I don't work with humane people.
The worst team that has no future.
We need a change.
Who's responsible for recruiting new players?
I need to look into that more.
Has the scouting department brought in a decent player lately?
They say our team is the grave for newbies.
What do you do with the first draft pick anyway? Waste it?
I suspect that...
this is an unprecedented corruption in professional team scouting.
