Chapter 700 – Episode 687. To America. (1)

-Oh no, Ji Maeng-ho doesn’t know English, so he signed with the New York Knicks instead of the New York Yankees.

Is there anything like this? Why isn’t there any news about the Fierce Protector contract?

┗I heard that you are in Korea because your wife is due to give birth?

┗┗How many wives?

┗┗How many times did I know?

┗Fuck, you were fooled haha

┗┗But if you’re a fierce warrior, isn’t it really possible to go to strange places because you don’t know English?

┗┗Surprisingly, Meng Hosin’s English is said to be at the level of a local’s.

┗┗ㄹㅇ?

┗┗ㅇㅇ Free talk with the mercenary without an interpreter and then

┗┗ㅋㅋㅋ I guess you didn’t know that this guy was hanging around Itaewon with Crongs and Maeng Ho-shin

-Breaking News) Contract with the fierce god of defense, Chewwak!

This guy has some credibility in the major leagues, but he’s on the verge of concluding a contract?

┗The link doesn’t work?

┗┗ㅋㅋㅋ If you press that button, no matter who sees it, you’re hooked

┗ㄹㅇ? It was really deleted

-So where do you think Meng Ho-shin will go?

┗I will go to a place that pays a lot of money

┗I heard from someone I know that it looks like he will receive more than 200 million won?

┗ㅋㅋㅋ It’s not even 200 million won, they gave you 200 million dollarsㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is it even a 10-year contract?

┗┗This bastard doesn’t know what’s going on in the world haha

┗I think I will go to the Dodgers. First, they are a winning team for two years in a row and aren’t you close with Joo Seung-cheol?

┗┗Maybe?

-The article has appeared! They say they are ultimately negotiating with 7 teams?

┗Link

┗ㄹㅇine

-Ji Maeng-ho enters final negotiations with 7 teams! 4-year, $250 million jackpot!

… The teams targeting Ji Maeng-ho include the LA Dodgers, the World Series champions for two consecutive years… … Meanwhile, according to officials, Ji Maeng-ho’s contract size is expected to be in the range of 250-60 million dollars (about 338.5 billion won)…

┗Isn’t it too expensive?

┗┗Isn’t 4 years reasonable? Since I’m in my prime, I don’t have to worry about getting scammed

┗Wow Jiri kkkk 330 billion kkkk

┗No matter how you look at it, it’s a scam, right? Wouldn’t that be more than a jersey in 4 years?

┗Ji Maeng-ho fighting! Show the spirit of Koreans.

-MGE, what do you think of Ji Maeng-ho’s contract?

The article says it’s around 250 million. What do MG people think? Personally, I think it is an overpayment.

┗Hmm… Thinking about Joo Seung-cheol, wouldn’t Ji Maeng-ho adapt well?

┗I think it’s appropriate?

┗There is a high possibility that it will become a scam. Ji Maeng-ho’s batting average/on-base percentage was high because pitchers filtered him out simply because of his strength, but it won’t be easy for him to win in the major leagues with strength.

┗┗ㅋㅋㅋ Didn’t this person watch the Olympics or the WBC?

┗┗Isn’t it weirder to evaluate it based on short-term warfare? If we only look at short-term matches, Arozarena is the best player of all time, right?

-Do you know where Shin Su-ho or Kim Won-ho are going?

┗There are reports that negotiations are continuing, so I think I will go.

┗LOL Honestly, there are three people advancing, but Ji Maeng-ho’s name is so huge that I’m not really interested. LOL

┗I wish I could get past the fierce guardian’s destination quickly…

“So, you can’t do number 4?”

“Because my number is permanently retired…”

“Can’t we cancel that? “I want to wear number 4.”

“Mr. Ji. I know how you feel, but Lou Gehrig, who was number 4, is a truly legendary player in the major leagues…”

“Under… I understand first. Then what about number 7?”

“Number 7 is also the number that Mickey Mantle wore…”

“Under. “What numbers are all permanently retired?”

“Wouldn’t that also represent the history of the Yankees? Are there any other numbers you like? In fact, all single-digit numbers are permanently retired.”

Fuck, should I sign a contract?

Negotiations with the Yankees were going smoothly. With an annual salary of $55 million and a signing bonus of $40 million, the total is a clean 260 million. Would this be a clean deal with no opt-outs or options other than the right to veto trade against the former club and the right to veto the minor league?

But the problem was with the uniform number. Starting with number 4, all the numbers I wanted to wear had an owner.

To be honest, I had a single-digit number, but since all single-digit numbers were permanently retired, I felt like I wanted to sign with Atlanta right away if I could.

“What about number 23? Michael Jordan.”

Number 23. It was the perfect number for me, who would become the GOAT of baseball.

“Number 23 is also permanently retired…”

“… “Who are you?”

“Don Mattingly is a famous captain who single-handedly survived the dark ages of the Yankees in the 1980s.”

“What the fuck…”

Why are all the numbers permanently retired?

“What about number 10?”

Numbers of soccer GOATs such as Maradona, Messi, and Pele…

“Number 10 is the number used by Phil Rizzuto, who won seven championships with the Yankees…”

“Wow, I really want to kill you…” .”

“Yes?”

Without realizing it, my true feelings came out in Korean. Fortunately, the Yankees’ general manager could not understand what I was saying, perhaps because it was Korean.

‘Ha, are all the fucking numbers permanently retired?’

I thought about the numbers 11 and 16 that Mr. Rossby wore during his time as manager, but honestly, I didn’t like the numbers that much.

“I’ll think about the number first.”

“Oh, then when is your birthday? “I usually make it by combining birthdays.”

“It’s the 4th of July.”

“Oh, then how about number 74?”

Number 74? Fuck. It was obvious that if I dialed that number, I would immediately start a fight in Korea. To be honest, I wanted to wear a cool number because it was a player’s dream.

“The most home runs in a season in the major leagues is 73, so I think it would be okay to wear the number 74 to mean that I will hit 74 home runs beyond 73. There’s Mr. Lucky Seven. Number 74, adding the number 4 that Ji wore. Number 74, July 4th. “I think it’s really okay?”

… Is that so? After listening to the leader’s words, it seemed okay.

‘Well, even in America, 74 doesn’t mean vaginal cum.’

To be honest, I didn’t think it would be cool to use a two-digit number, but since all cool numbers were retired anyway, I had no choice.

“Is it really okay?”

“Of course. And Mr. If Ji hits 74 home runs next season, that number will forever be remembered in history.”

After listening to it, I thought it was perfect. 74. It seemed like a perfect match for me, as I would surpass Bonds’ most home runs in a season. Moreover, my birthday was also July 4th.

“I am sure you will be satisfied. Well then, I guess the article will be published tomorrow. “It’ll be okay, right?”

“Yes. “I will be leaving for the United States in a week or two because my wife is giving birth.”

“Then I understand. We will prepare an induction ceremony and uniform for that time.”

And so the final negotiations with the Yankees ended with the discussion about the uniforms.

‘Tsk, it’s double digits, so it’s not cool, but… Well, after the four-year contract ends, I just have to go to the vacant number 4.’

There is now less than a week left until Soyoung is due to give birth. The Major League was approaching before our eyes.

-Ji Maeng-ho signs a 4-year, $260 million contract with the New York Yankees!

… According to the New York daily newspaper ‘The New York’, Ji Maeng-ho is reportedly about to sign a four-year contract worth $260 million (about KRW 353.6 billion). Ji Maeng-ho’s annual salary is $55 million (about KRW 74.8 billion), which is currently known as the highest salary in the major leagues.

The New York Yankees have finalized the contract with Ji Maeng-ho, and now only the medical test remains. Ji Maeng-ho revealed that he plans to conduct a medical test and induction ceremony as soon as he arrives in the United States…

Meanwhile, if the contract is concluded as is, the AT Thunders will receive $9.375 million plus $31.5 million, or 15% of the $200 million excess of $50 million, for a total of $48.75 million (KRW 55.59 billion). Is scheduled to receive 10 million won.

…

┗260 million? I’m not crazy lol

┗Wow, your annual salary is 5,500 ㄷㄷ

┗┗I also have 5,500 haha

┗┗You have won, and he has dollars

┗ㅋㅋㅋㅋ What are you going to do if you get scammed?

┗Surprising fact) Even after Meng Ho-sin conquered Korea and moved to the United States, Taeun-sin still protects New York.

┗┗ㅇㅅㅌㅌㅅ

┗┗ㅇㅅㅌㅌㅅ

┗Wow, then the Yankees lineup will be bad, Soto, Judge, Stanton. How do I stop Ji Maeng-ho from doing this?

┗┗There’s a strange guy in the middle?

┗┗Ignoring last year’s 19 home runs and tanton shoes?

┗┗So what is the batting average?

┗┗I hate to tell you that, but…

┗Thank you, thank you for helping me win 4 years in a row and giving me 50 billion won.

┗This year, all free agents are behind haha

-Wow, you finally got the biggest contract.

-I don’t know because I don’t watch Fuck Bar, but is Ji Maeng-ho like that?

┗ㅇㅇ That’s about it

┗He’s just a devil

┗LOL Didn’t this guy even watch the international competition?

┗┗I only looked at the major haha

-Ji Maeng-ho Isn’t this overpays?

┗Absolutely not. First, Ji Maeng-ho is a strong fastball pitcher, so his performance is unlikely to drop if he goes to the majors.

┗┗ㅋㅋ You’re talking as if you’re only strong against fastball pitchers

┗┗Actually, there are no weak pitchers haha

-Fuck it, if this bastard survives, we can win, right?

Damn, this bitch hit 40 home runs for .288 and gave me a 12-year contract, and this season, he hit 23 home runs for .244.

┗Dominican players have been lying about their age for a day or two hahaNow it’s an aging curve haha

┗But in the first year of the contract, you bought 32 pieces for 20%. It will rebound haha

-Let’s take a look at Chewwak’s power in commemoration of Ji Maeng-ho’s transfer.

Ji Maeng-ho won a 4-year, 260 million won jackpots and transferred to the Yankees, the most prestigious team in the Major League. The Yankees’ performance over the past three years has been poor in ’24, bad in ’25, and bad in ’26, and they are continuing their miserable streak of failing to even reach the championship series for three consecutive years.

By recruiting Ji Maeng-ho, will the Yankees be able to get closer to their long-awaited championship?

Let’s analyze power.

First, it’s a batting lineup.

We will look at Torres, who was selected as an All-Star by hitting .209, 5 ERA, 27 home runs, and 3.5 WAR while playing second base until last year, assuming that he does not reach free agency because his position overlaps with Ji Maeng-ho.

First, there is a high probability that Ji Maeng-ho will be the number one hitter. Because he is a hitter with guaranteed on-base percentage and legs.

If so, the Yankees’ batting lineup will probably be structured like this.

Ji Maeng-ho (2B) – Judge (DH) – Soto (RF) – Vientos (3B) – Logan (C) – Hall (1B) – Volpi (SS) – Kelenic (CF) – Verdugo (LF)

Then, there is a high probability that the number 2 hitter will be the best hitter in the major league and the winner of MVP for 25 years, 26 years, and 2 years in a row.

Judge’s performance this season (2026) is 0.284/0.387/0.630/1.017 with 53 home runs and 153 RBIs. If he performs the same way next season as this season…

Sotoro’s terrible results this year are 0.247/0.383/0.418/0.801, 23 home runs, and 83 RBIs. It’s hard to believe that this is the performance of a kid who signed a 12-year, $500 million contract… Is Soto already showing an aging curve at the age of 27, or is he lying about his age like Joseon? …

Third baseman Vientos hit .255/0.326/0.476/0.802 this year with 34 home runs and 99 RBIs, and succeeded in signing a contract worth $9 million this year, following last year. He surpassed 30 home runs for the first time in his career and is 27 years old next year, so his future looks promising. Felled…

Catcher Logan hit 0.255/0.335/0.473/0.808 this year with 32 home runs and 94 RBIs, showing the potential of a slugger at the young age of 26…

First baseman Hall recorded quite poor results this year, hitting 0.224/0.295/0.427/0.722 and hitting 30 home runs… Who hits 30 home runs, but there’s a dog who’s only 1.8? Pushyungpashyung

Schwarber’s hitting gap is even 10% off, but this guy is just…

Shortstop Volpi… It is a name that is loved and hated by those who love it. Volpi, who debuted like a comet, recording a 20-20 record in his debut season, was pampered by the Yankees and fed them with experience for four years, but with a career batting average of .202.5 and a career OPS of 0.693, he is nowhere near Diddy’s level, let alone Jeter. It’s just funny that they trusted this bastard and moved Torres to second base and ended up leaving him. It would have been better if Torres had been given shortstop experience…

But in fact, Torres is a failure at shortstop and Volpi is good at defense, so it’s not that I don’t understand. Please just hit me a little…

Anyway, Volpi set career highs this season by hitting .204.7 with a batting average of 19 home runs and 30 stolen bases, and since his performance is getting better, I have no choice but to trust him… Just raise his OPS to 0.8…

Center fielder Kelenic. Last year, he came to the Yankees through a trade and hit 0.279/0.356/0.577/0.933, hitting 30 home runs including one he hit in Atlanta, which raised expectations, but this season he hit only 20 home runs with a batting average of 0.285, which was disappointing compared to expectations. Reaped.

Leave the left fielder. This bastard is coming out for a month and not in the game. No, he must. If this cub doesn’t come out, we’ll have to see that ape cub.

That’s right. As the youngster was injured, Stanton played as the starting pitcher, and this year, Stanton, who sent Judge to left field and played as a designated hitter, recorded a shocking 0.205/0.248/0.370/0.618 with 19 home runs… Why the fuck is this guy still around? Still, I take comfort in the fact that next year is the last year of my contract….

ㅅㅂ As I was writing this, my hatred for those bastards grew, so I’ll find out about the pitcher later.

┗Seongchu Jeongㅋㅋㅋ

┗Winning power right? I don’t think I’ll win for the first time since my professional debut…?

┗Apart from Jersey, there were no human babies this season?

┗┗But the fact that he made it to the division is legendary haha

┗┗As expected, Jersey shoes

┗Wow, the tanton shoes are still runningㄷㄷ

┗┗It’s a legend that there’s still one year left on the contract haha

┗There’s still a year left until Teunbokjeol ㅅㅂ

┗So what is the level of the batting line?

┗┗If Ji Maeng-ho is included, the batting line will be comparable to the best in the league. They are all players who will hit 20 or more home runs, so Judge is also the MVP

┗┗So you can win?

┗┗ㅋㅋㅋ The Yankees have such a strong dark energy that I don’t really know.
