Absolute on the Mound

5.

“It's over!”

Dog out of Cat Stars, starting with the shout of someone exploding from there, begins lifting their fists overhead with the players of Cat Stars on fire.

“Ahhhh!”

At the same time, I shouted for joy.

“First win! ”

First win.

In front of that precious victory against the Pro Group 2 team, the Cat Stars players did not hide their joy, nor did they have to hide it, nor did they have any obligation to hide it.

It was only the winner who deserved to enjoy the joy.

Of course, I gladly cheered for binary use.

“Hoooo!”

[Victory pitcher. Bonus Points awarded.]

[You have won a streak. Get a Bronze Wheel Pass.]

[You did a five-inning flawless pitch. Bonus points will be awarded.]

[Accumulated points are 4,150 points.]

At the same time as the Baseball Manager's announcement of the end of the game, Lee Jin-yong cheered loudly towards Kim Jin-ho's face, which only he could see.

Kim Jin-ho kicked the candle with his tongue.

Shit, don't like it. There's a word called hosada.

“Hooray!”

You son of a bitch!

“Hooray!”

Of course, Kim Jin-ho's beginnings did not work.

He's got a kid over there. Catch him. Oh, I have to catch Lee Jin-yong like that · · · · · · · ·.

Meanwhile, if there is joy for the winner, there is sadness for the loser.

“You lose to an amateur, you lose to one, you lose to one! You want to be a professional? ”

The Shakespearean runners of the Shakespeare II, who were defeated by the Independence, and not by any other team today, are paying the price for their defeat.

“If this is the fucking way, hit the baseball! I'm not a pro when I lose to juniors! ”

Even now, the insults they heard were just the beginning.

Now, as soon as the Cat Star players leave Tune-Up, the lights on the Shakespeare II field will begin to shine, and they will train under those lights until their mouths are dry.

So far, so good.

The worst part is that for today's badly rated athletes, the struggle begins at the beginning of the season.

Less chances of running in the Futures League, and less chances of making Group 1 calls naturally.

Some may be expelled from the program because of today's events, or return to the Group 3 contract instead of the Group 2 contract.

It was obvious enough that Lee Jin-yong stopped cheering and looked at the scene without saying a word.

Sympathy?

Kim Jinho asked for his gaze.

Lee Jin-yong shook her head after smiling slightly at the question.

Yeah, no pity. They're not running desperately to get sympathy from you.

‘Absolutely.'

None of the fans, their families, or any of the players deserved to pity them.

The next time I see you, I'll take care of it more quickly than I did today. If you score one today, you'll get a perfect score the next time you meet. The next time we meet, we achieve a nohitnorun.

On the contrary, the next time we meet, Jin Yong will rather press them harder and grimace.

"Yes."

Because of this, Lee Jin-yong gladly nodded at Kim Jin-ho's words.

“Jin Yong Lee!”

At that time, Coach Kim Jeong-ho called Lee Jin-yong.

“We need to talk. ”

In saying that, Lee Jin-yong looked at Kim Jin-ho, and Kim Jin-ho also looked at Lee Jin-yong as not understanding of English.

Don't tell me you don't have anything to teach me anymore, so go pro. You're not going to do this, are you?

“No way.”

Lee Jin-yong waved her head as if it was absurd. Kim Jin-ho also smiled.

Yeah, I said smile, too. I tested out the triage last month, and I'm already a pro, so if that's true, I'll lose my hand.

6.

“It's called a metamorphosis. Angels currently oversees scouts and power analysis. ”

Lee Jin-yong, who held the hand of the meta-human out with the horse, glanced around with a blank expression.

I saw Kim Jin-ho's face, who was making a similar look to him, past Kim Jong-ho, Jeong Beom-seok's director, and Park Jun-hyung.

It is referred to as · · · · · · · · · · binary. ”

Lee Jin-yong, who spit out between his blank expression, immediately asked the question.

“Look, I'm a misguided person, but you're not here to recruit me from Angels, are you? ”

Jin Yong, don't drink Kim Chi Guk. I think we need to recruit 100 points and have a group of directors, coaches, scouts, and athletes take pictures, but I'm pretty sure they didn't have a photographer to take them with. It's not common sense to call you that, is it? Just give me the camera.

‘Yes, Kim Jin-ho is right. ’

Of course, Lee Jin-yong did not see the slightest likelihood of joining the program at this moment.

He is definitely a great achiever, but he is still just a pitcher who can throw a fastball in his small size in his mid-120s.

Even today, he showed a helpless collapse after five innings.

One of the other virtues of pitchers, the Inning Eater, was not shown properly.

And you're proposing that he be recruited from Angels and nowhere else?

“I'm joking, I'm joking. You really couldn't have come to recruit me. ”

Jin Yong finished the situation on his own even before the answer of the deformation.

In his appearance, the transformer smiled and held Lee Jin-yong's hand tighter.

“I have a good feeling about this. ”

“Yes?”

“I think it would be best if Director Chung told you a detailed story. ”

Immediately, the meta-human who handed the barrel over to the overseer was sitting on the couch, and the overseer nodded and opened his mouth.

“Angels has offered to take two players to our Starz, and they have reserved this spot in accordance with the terms of the contract. ”

Contract? ’

Then, Jin Yong remembered one of the terms he saw when he wrote the contract for joining Cat Stars.

Goyang Starz grants a sign to the club under the Korean Professional Baseball Committee if the player wishes.

· · · · · · · · Contents of the provisions.

“The two of them are you, and we've reserved a position for a more resourceful conversation. ”

After the foreman finishes speaking, he looks at the metamorphosis and nods.

“Let's get a few things straight. We don't have a contract here right now. We'll talk about terms today, and we'll make a contract based on those conversations. Is this the kind of place where you talk about contracts? ”

Lee Jin-yong listened to that and sat down next to Park Jun-hyung.

“First, tell me the terms. ”

The first answer to that question was Park Jun-hyung.

“I want week before week. I want to be a qualified athlete after May 1st, and then I want to put my name on the Group 1 entry immediately. I want to be guaranteed entry and entry for at least 30 days. And if you put your name on Group 1 entries for more than 90 days, you want a 300-percent annual salary increase guarantee next year. ”

Lee Jin-yong looked frightened at Park Jun-hyung's suggestion.

"Isn't this man crazy? ’

A player who has never been named by Draft is no different and demands Group 1 entry coverage?

Even at the end of the season, 300 percent increase in salary?

A salary increase of that magnitude was possible among the newcomers who were leading the team.

Nonsense.

However, the variant who heard the story nodded rather than was surprised, but wrote it down on the iPad that had prepared what I had heard.

Wow, that's amazing. What the hell is that?

Kim Jinho was interested in such iPads and iPenes.

Of course, Lee Jin-yong ignored Kim Jin-ho's question.

“Hey.”

When Lee Jin-yong opened her mouth, the variant turned her head.

“Speak.”

“Are there really any conditions? ”

In response, the deformed shrug shrugs.

“Of course I can't give you any terms. It just covers up what we can and can't accept. Tell me something good first. That's how we make the contract by talking to each other. This is a major league style, too. ”

Major league style!

In that word, Lee Jin-yong only rolled his eyes toward Kim Jin-ho.

Kim Jinho replied.

It's not wrong. In the Major League, when you sign a deal with a gangster, you put in a real piece of shit. Depending on your weight, you may be offered the option to cut your annual salary if you get caught on a bike, and you may be asked to share in the business of table tennis holdings. I even asked for a bulldozer as an option to win the World Series. By the way, if I win the World Series, I will not schedule a meeting with a famous actress. No, it's nothing.

No one would tackle a deal that was good for the player, unless it was a bad deal for the player, and that was major league style.

Well, I didn't expect to wear that major league style in Korea.

Kim Jinho looked at the metamorphosis with the horse.

I think he's big and has a face, and he must be running from the major leagues. Did I hear that there was a Korean working in Transliteration · · · · · · · · Athletics?

Kim Jinho's words did not come into Lee Jin-yong's ears.

"No, I'm grateful to you for joining the profession. What are your terms?" How is that even possible? ’

Lee Jin-yong, his dream was to become a professional baseball player.

Will you let me play pro baseball in a situation like that?

It was an offer that was indispensable, one that I no longer needed to ask for.

Because of this moment, Jin Yong did not want to bet anything else on the condition.

‘Just say thank you,' and get it. Of course. '

I was afraid that my professional appointment would be canceled because of those conditions, and to be honest, I didn't think what to put on the terms.

Just yell.

Kim Jin-ho said with such ears.

Ask for what you really want. If you don't want to hear it, you don't have to sign it. Obviously, once a contract is made, the terms of that contract must be kept explicitly from then on. Even if you give up your dream because of that contract, you have to keep it. That's the deal.

That reminded me of Jin Yong.

“The conditions I want are · · · · · · · · ·. ”

7.

Tak!

The seated variant, with the sound of the door closing, immediately took out the earphone resting on the cup holder.

It was to talk, drive, and catch two rabbits.

Boom!

His intention was around the time the engine of his car gave out a powerful sound.

What happened to the contract?

The voice of the grill was clearly shaken in the ear of a deformed car.

“As long as you meet the conditions, you can contract right away. ”

What are Joon-hyung's requirements?

“Registration for Group 1 entries immediately following May 1, with a further 300 percent annual salary increase following the contract. ”

So what's your verdict?

“If you only put out 10 Futures League games that start in April, you'll be eager to get them out of Group 1. Except for the provision that a breeder can be enrolled in a Group 1 entry after May 1, a batsman is actually a good person to start with Group 1. ”

What about Lee Jin-yong?

As soon as the name Lee Jin-yong appeared, the deformation paused.

What conditions did he require?

“I couldn't tell you the truth because it was so sudden. If you're the old boss, you'll understand. If you offered a pro position to a player who participated in a Cat Star Trial a month ago, how much less a binary player? ”

Did he give you any pointless terms?

“I didn't say anything about the salary. I didn't ask you to put me on the First Group entry. ”

Oh, yeah?

Once again, the meta-human who stopped speaking thought about this moment.

Whether or not to say it.

After the worry, the meta-human opens his mouth.

“If he or she contributes greatly to winning Angels, he or she asks to release himself if he or she meets the conditions. ”

Release?

“Yes.”

What's that supposed to mean?

“We're going to run in Angels for a year, and we're going to leave Angels. I want to be a freelancer. ”

You're gonna walk out on your own?

“Usually in these cases, they are aimed at major leagues, but they are not. The Major League is no match for Jin Yong's fighter specs. And that's not the point. Do we accept the terms or not? ”

Is there a problem with your condition?

“If Lee Jin-yong had done a great job and released him right away, the Korea Professional Baseball Commission or the media wouldn't have reacted well. ”

What are the rules?

“There can be no rule to stop the club from releasing athletes and freeing them. ”

At that moment, I paused.

Even the spitful and the listener are blocked.

All right. Okay.

In that situation, the book opened its mouth.

It's not a guarantee of entry, it's not a salary negotiation, and as long as Angels win this year, it's none of my business whether or not you let him go. If he's thrown from a Korean series mount, that's enough to talk about.

“What does that mean? ”

Contract, both of you.

“I understand.”

The call was over.
