Absolute on the Mound

1.

Major leagues are often referred to as baseball captains.

The Major League is where the master plays baseball.

I never used that expression just because the director's authority was strong.

Like Starcraft, a player and a coaching staff are a unit, and a captain is a gamer. No, we're closer to SimCity than Starcraft. Instead of just picking a unit, the Master can build and bring in any unit he wants.

The major league table is set for everything from one to ten, as the director wishes.

How great is this, because the Major League usually spends over $100 million on building their own fleet? A table with a little money costs 200 million dollars a year for a player. It costs money to run, and it's purely a player's ransom.

That was huge.

That's a lot of money the director can make on his own. There are times when it costs more than 200 million dollars to recruit one player.

An extraordinary thing that ordinary people would not dare to understand.

Do you know what it's like to yell at someone for $200 million and not your own money? At least it's not in your right mind. That's not even why it's special. I just need him for the baseball I'm after, and that's the only reason I'm buying him.

A place that breathes for such nonsense, naturally.

Master Alderson is the thickest man in the world.

The person Lee Jin-yong met was the one who sat in that position.

I was famous, too. Of course, it was famous. Billy Bean's moneyball was not done in a wasteland with nothing. The man who was head of Oakland before Billy Bin had a certain amount of ground under control, and that was possible. And that was Captain Alderson.

Sandy Alderson.

The director of New York Mets, he was an elderly man who had spent a lot longer than any of the twisted athletes in the world of this dreadful Major League.

That's why Kim Jin-ho said.

So don't try any tricks. Jin-yeong, have you ever done such a lifetime negotiation? With a major league director from Harvard Law School who's been negotiating with kids like you for decades with translations due to lack of English?

There is no negotiation.

You have nothing to lose, Jin-yong. There are plenty of places to go in this contract. So, what do we do? Yeah, we should blackmail him. Ignorant as a bulldozer, unilaterally.

It's just a threat!

That's why Lee Jin-yong was willing.

“What do you want? ”

Chief Salderson, in his first meeting with him, Lee Jin-yong answered his question, regardless of his manners.

“I can't give you what I want anyway. ”

You can't give me anything!

Moreover, the words were not spoken by Jin Yong himself.

“Mets can't give a binary player what he wants. ”

Lee Young-ye, who attended as an agent, came out through his mouth.

Of course, Lee Young-yeon's expression, which translates, was also very well, firmly, and viciously stiff. I knew that Lee Jin-yong was not making fun of me.

Phew. It's a ghost, but it's creepy.

There's no more perfect threat in the world.

“What do you mean? ”

However, Leader Alderson did not appear to be particularly embarrassed or nervous.

Lee Jin-yong said again, Lee Young-ye translated.

“$300 million, interviews, league MVP and World Series winning ring. Is there anything that Mets can give me right now? ”

This time, the level was not low.

I don't know what else, but I can't give the World Series winner ring to Jin Yong because he can't win the World Series in the future.

It was like saying no to Captain Alderson's baseball for winning the World Series.

Throwing a glass baseball at your pride.

“What an ambition. I'm satisfied.”

However, even in front of that powerful horse, the quiet smile on Alderson's mouth did not change a bit.

Kim Jin-ho, who was behind Master Alderson, shrugged his shoulders.

You see? You're not a regular guy, are you? If you're like anyone else, you're not a jerk, and you don't even have a rhythm in your mouth when the same thing comes out.

Like Kim Jinho said, Captain Alderson's Pokerface was perfect.

Lee Jin-yong is suddenly howling here! I felt like I wouldn't shake even if I shouted.

“You say that ambition is great. Do you have any differences? ”

At that time, Lee Young-yee looked at Lee Jin-yong, and Lee Jin-yeon told Lee Young-yee.

“Now tell Mets what I want. ”

Lee Young-yeon nodded immediately to Leader Alderson.

“Minor League Right to reject trades, 4-year opt-out · · · · ·. ”

Gradually, Alderson nodded his head as soon as he came out of Lee Young-ye's mouth.

“And a dedicated catcher, Joe Jones. ”

Joe Jones.

As soon as the name was mentioned, for the first time, Captain Alderson's poker face was broken.

And there was a smile on the mouth of Kim Jin-ho in the back of such a captain Alderson.

If you want to hear it, you have to be prepared to spend 100 million dollars, okay?

2.

Joe Jones.

He was once a catcher representing the Major League.

He was only 20 years old when he became the first major league collector to wear the Red Sox uniform in September 2006 with the expansion roaster in place.

However, he announced the creation of a new star in the Major League by beating out 9 home runs and a odds of 3 coins for a month when he became a call-up.

What made him even more famous was the pitcher who first breathed with him on September 14, 2006 achieved Nothit Noron.

The pitcher who achieved a fairly monumental record returned the ball to the catcher, Joe Jones.

“Joe is a great catcher. I assure you, he and the pitcher have the same chance of playing the perfect game. ”

That pitcher is no different than Kim Jin-ho, ruler of the Major League!

He was more famous for his athlete's assessment than any other athlete, and did not spare much praise for Joe Jones.

Joe Jones, of course, immediately became the center of the Red Sox since 2007, and then changed his career into a glorious day, contributing to winning the 2007 and 2013 team World Series.

Great grades too.

He scored 191 home runs with an average odds of 3 coins over seven seasons, and the circulating OPS reached 0.910.

He was the best batsman and the best catcher at the same time.

However, his glorious day changed from one moment to the blue day.

The start was when he became a freelancer signed a $170 million contract with Yankees for 10 years.

The problem was that I went to the Red Sox to get Yankees.

Red Sox fans were outraged at traitor Joe Jones, and it was uncalled for the fact that Yankees fans were also at the center of the Yankee Stadium, who had given the Red Sox two victories.

The bigger problems were the days of misfortune and injury that began at the same time as the miraculous signs.

In any season, Joe Jones, who expected to hit three halves and 30 home runs, scored three points for two and nine home runs for the first year of FA.

Next season comes out with knee injuries.

After returning from the injury, Joe Jones did not do the right thing and eventually suffered a humiliation going down to the minor league.

Days of nightmares.

Moreover, Joe Jones signed a contract that increased annually with the year's pay reduction policy, which Yankees then pursued.

For the first five years, he received a total of $55 million, but for the remaining five years, he received a total of $115 million.

Of course, it was impossible to trade.

Sometimes Joe Jones shows signs of recovery, but there can't be a club that wants to recruit more than 100 million dollars in the next five years.

No matter how much Yankees offered to subsidize the salary, no one cared about Joe Jones.

However, Lee Jin-yong demanded Joe Jones as his dedicated catcher.

Joe Jones is the best marksman. I'm sorry for Lee Ho-chan, but I can't compare to him. If Lee Ho-chan is for Lee Jin Yong, should Joe Jones be Kim Jin-ho? There's a difference between a newborn and a college student. And I still see no problem with Joe Jones' abilities.

The only reason is that Kim Jin-ho still doesn't care about his praise.

The only problem with him is that there's nothing left to make his heart beat. He was always like that. I still remember when I gave him the ball net in Nothit Noron, and he came up to the mount and said, "Perfect Game Face." Let's not add a stupid nothitnoron to our careers, let's just give it a whirl and go for the perfect game next time. Of course I told him. Don't be a dick and just go get the ball.

That's why Kim Jin-ho told Lee Jin-yong.

Joe's gonna be the best battery ever. So talk to Chief Mets. Bring him in as a dedicated catcher.

Ask for Joe Jones.

Moreover, it was not just a request to get a good catcher.

And ignore a team that won't spend $100 million on you. The Major League is the best and worst stage of business. Where you can't love something you haven't spent any money on.

Lee Jin-yong had to make the club spend money somehow in order to be treated properly, and to do that, it was a very good choice to use Joe Jones as a material for threats.

Lee Young-yeo was also impressed when she heard Lee Jin-yong's plan.

“If you recruit Joe Jones as a dedicated gunfighter, a $1 million contract is enough for binary players. ”

Lee Young-yeo knew that it meant something to a player who somehow spent money in the Major League.

Of course, it was Master Alderson who knew it best.

Captain Alderson could clearly see what Lee Jin-yong was after.

‘Joe Jones's 2018 annual salary is $12 million. $115 million in the next five years. Yankees has already pledged $30 million in annual subsidies, so that's less than $100 million in six years. ’

Right now, Jin Yong is testing how much money the team that wants him can spend.

‘Add the $1 million and annual salary that Lee Jin-yong mentioned here, and you'll get $100 million. ’

That's why Captain Alderson has just got to the point.

‘100 million dollars to recruit Jin Yong. ’

Is it really worth paying $100 million to binary?

Master Alderson felt something when he reached that simple point.

Something I felt a long time ago, like an Aura from a great player.

‘It reminds me of Jin Ho Kim. ’

It feels similar to what I felt when I met Kim Jin-ho a long time ago.

The moment I felt that, a smile was drawn on Captain Alderson's mouth.

“Joe Jones is a good bulldozer. Even the ruler of the Major League didn't care for flattery. Good. I'll get him. ”

Deal's done.

3.

The most important thing for a major league leader is courageous movement.

When you come to a conclusion, you should act immediately.

If you suspect the conclusion after concluding it, moxibustion can be noticed by the other person and shake the weakness.

Master Alderson knew that.

As soon as he promised to meet Lee Jin-yong, he immediately called Director Yankees who was attending the Winter meeting, and told him.

“I'd like to bring Joe Jones to Trade, but how much salary do I have? ”

Direct cut.

The user hurls a boulder at the target, rather than shaking the target's vision.

Joe Jones?

And Director Yankees acted boldly in the stone cold.

I was satisfied with the fact that I was able to remove the problem rather than taking moxibustion to understand the importance of Mets, the biggest problem for the team.

30 million dollars.

I answered without hesitation.

“Okay, we'll get him. ”

As soon as the story ended, Mets' front started to move.

Reporters began to vomit.

[Contract with Jin Yong Lee, Mets!]

[Contract is $1 million!]

It was at last the moment of a very hot stove worthy of the name Stobrig.

Of course, baseball fans who were cold during the winter cling to the hot stove.

Did Lee Hou go to Mets? My Hou?

Why is it Mets? You left a good team behind?

Are you Mets or not?

I'm screwed.

b. Is a wrecked team of almost Angels level.

Amazing Howne.

Moreover, it was no longer just Korean baseball fans moving.

Major league fans now cling to this hearth.

Who's Lee Jin-yong?

Zero defense rate on Korean pro baseball. Nicknamed Mr. Howe.

Not Mr. Zero?

b If the defensive rate is 0, is it a closure?

B No, 0 defensive rate by selection.

Does that make sense?

b. Perfect only twice. Once in Penn Trace, once in Post Season.

B Win or lose 3 rounds during the fourth round of the Korean Series.

What baseball isn't a game, and that's possible?

A game isn't just a game, it's a garbage game.

So a hurricane named Jinyong Lee started to emerge gradually in the Major League.

It was around that time.

How's that? Isn't it funny compared to a baseball game?

Lee Jin-yong has now appeared on Mets' home field, the city field, to be his home field.

This is Major League ground. The stage only the best in the world can walk on.

A huge baseball field that can hold over 40,000 people.

There's a Yankee Stadium just a few miles from here. Ten minutes by car. It's less than a mile from the Jamsil to the Old Dome. If two teams play in the World Series, the streets between them will be full of baseball fans.

In Kim Jin-ho's explanation of the big field, Lee Jin-yong nodded silently.

Later, Lee Jin-yong, who entered the ground with the manager's consideration, slowly climbed onto the mount.

‘Ah.'

Oh, my God!

Something that cannot be compared to a sleeping chamber.

In front of something, Kim Jin-ho paused.

I stopped and slowly looked at the battlefield with a mixture of emotions.

Lee Jin-yong did not ask Kim Jin-ho a bad question.

At that time, Lee Yeong-ye entered the ground. Lee Jin-yong gestured to Lee Young-ye to come up to the mount, and Lee Young-yeon soon said.

“I had forgotten for a moment there was one more thing I needed to negotiate with Metz. ”

“What is it?”

“How many times would you like your back number? ”

Lee Jin-yong smiled and said to the question.

“My back number is one. Even if you go to Yankees, that's not going to change. ”

Suck it.

That's how 2017 ended.

Then 2018 began.
