Jackie Tyrrell to the Miami Marlins, David Bentley to Crossmaglen, Aaron Kernan to Sunderland. What the hell is going on?
It's all part of an AIB documentary called 'The Toughest Trade' which will compare how the GAA Club Championships match up in terms of toughness against other sports.
Kilkenny's Tyrrell is heading to the Miami Marlins baseball team for spring training, while ex-MLB player Brian Schneider will be joining up with James Stephens GAA club. The other two to swap codes as part of the documentary will be ex-Premier League player David Bentley and Crossmaglen's Aaron Kernan.
The four will also swap jobs as part of the documentary.
Crossmaglen's Aaron Cunningham tweeted a picture of himself and Bentley at training last night.
