Stove League (스토브리그)

Who are you again? I think I've seen you before.

Get out of the way.

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

If you give me some time,

I'd like to...

sell the Dreams.

So you're the general manager.

You're very good at making an issue out of everything.

Yes.

The baseball team under Jaesong Group that you founded...

by working at a factory.

The team you found at the founding of the professional baseball league.

That team.

What is wrong with this punk?

I understand that you have zero interest in our team.

I also fully understand that you don't need a baseball team...

since Jaesong Group turned its focus on heavy industry.

All right, so what's your point?

Don't just back out of your investment.

At least make back the money that you invested in the team.

It's not like we haven't tried to sell the team.

I'll do it.

And time is more precious to those who are older...

than to those who are younger.

That's what a lot of you young people tend to forget.

I know you're Jaesong Group, but we're talking about millions.

Instead of getting rid of it, you could sell it...

Come look for me if you need a new job.

Yes?

Why are you disbanding the team all of a sudden?

The Dreams was the hot stove league team this season, after all.

We're taking responsibility for...

all the disappointment we've caused to the local fans...

by disbanding the team.

I believe...

we'll still be remembered fondly if we disband now.

The Dreams beat the Vikings in an practice game...

and signed Lim Dong Gyu after,

which gave baseball fans hope.

Maybe you don't know the Dreams well.

Weaker teams like ours...

unintentionally get people's hopes high...

during winter, then disappoint them.

Is it truly due to poor performance...

and not financial difficulties? - Is there something we don't know?

How will the team... - That's all.

I have a question!

Welcome.

I'll take one of whatever he's having.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

What? Do you own this place?

Bratty, as usual.

All right.

I'm not even your boss anymore.

You always act as if you're some royalty,

but you drink in a place like this.

What's wrong with this place?

I'd be quite disappointed if this is where you hang out...

after you sell your soul for work.

And you don't do that?

No. - That's what's wrong.

Every worker in this world...

sells their soul for work.

You got fired because you don't do the same,

putting your team in such a difficult position.

The team is now disbanding,

affecting every single person around you.

Had I heard that any earlier,

it would've worked, but not now.

Had I listened to you people any better,

it's not like you'd increase your investment into the team...

or would have been any nicer...

to my team.

If nothing is going to change, do what makes you happy.

That's the smart way to go.

What I can't change is that...

Jaesong Group doesn't want the Dreams.

So, why not Jaesong Group at least take some money for it?

You want to...

try selling the team?

You want to do something that I couldn't?

Everyone is good at different things.

Seung Soo,

in this area,

there's not a single person who can afford our team...

that hasn't rejected our team.

You already know well that I keep my words.

Instead of just disbanding the team,

wouldn't Chairman Kwon Il Do be happier...

if Jaesong Group can make 20 million dollars off the team?

Why is an unemployed-man-to-be worrying for me?

I heard that your father,

who founded the company and owned a baseball field,

and although he couldn't get his team to win,

he held the Dreams dearly in his heart.

You little prick!

There's almost nobody who still remembers...

that Chairman Kwon used to hold...

his son's hand and take him to baseball games all the time.

Stop it there.

I'll just ask for one thing.

Give me a week to sell the team.

Seung Soo,

20 million dollars?

We consider people like you as pests.

We've got projects worth a billion dollars,

so this 20-million-dollar business is nothing to us.

You want me to risk the chairman's trust for me...

for something as insignificant as a baseball team?

You know how trust works.

You do nine good things and mess up once,

then the trust is broken.

I hope you're eating a lot. It'll hurt tomorrow.

No chance.

The disbandment hasn't been confirmed,

the team is working on it.

Even if it's disbanded, I'm going to get drafted.

So please, stop calling me like this.

No. I'm hanging up now.

Coach,

our players are getting a lot of calls asking how they are.

Please take care of it.

All right.

Our team hasn't been disbanded yet.

I know it's hard to focus when all of this is happening,

but you'll all find a good team to go to.

So, just be patient and don't sign for another team yet.

Let's do...

what we always do. All right?

Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

All right? - Yes, sir!

We haven't chosen which company we'll negotiate with.

Mr. Baek wants to get Jaesong Group's approval first.

Since the company is currently taking on a big project...

worth a lot of money,

I think they consider selling the team financially insignificant.

I need to take this. - Don't head out during a meeting.

Excuse me.

Where are you going? - I'll be right back.

Why are you heading out during a meeting?

It must be the delivery man. - What?

Why am I getting a call from the Red Hawks?

Now I know why they had to take those calls.

You guys are so popular.

I'll be...

straight up and say no.

Sit back down. - Okay.

Why aren't I getting any calls?

What?

Why aren't I getting calls from other teams?

No, what I meant is that I ordered some games...

and the delivery is taking so long.

Sorry, where were we?

It's not...

what you think it is.

What's not what I think it is?

Yes, I'm forever the operations manager of the Dreams,

Lee Se Young.

Sabres?

Sabres?

The disbandment hasn't been confirmed yet,

so I don't think this is appropriate timing.

Bye.

Why did you just do that?

Why don't you just introduce me to them?

I can't introduce you to them,

but you may leave as you wish.

We're trying to get the Dreams running here.

SBS E37 'Hot Stove League' "Selling the Dreams" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

What's the money for?

I can't even send my father money for his operation?

Is that what you're saying?

And why are you nosing around in someone else's family business?

You think they'll thank you if you do that?

Father.

No, I'll hang up now.

What's this for?

I know you threw it away,

but I figured that you'd regret it later.

You're being unnecessarily kind.

Please assign me back to the Scouting Department.

Why?

I want to work...

and not on getting in other people's ways.

Chairman,

why don't you give the Dreams...

a week before disbandment?

Kyung Min.

Don't you see what's important here?

I think we'll be able to earn at least 20 million dollars from it.

With that funding, we can expand our company...

and focus on our new business,

getting a good start on it.

You can do this in a week when you couldn't for years?

I can't,

but Seung Soo can.

Are you saying,

that general manager can do what you couldn't do for years...

in just a week?
