How long before a player switches locker rooms at the half

and plays one half with one team and the second half with the other? I think I'm kidding, but I believe this will happen just like the wife swap with the yankees in the 70s. In this case, when a player runs out of bounds on the other side of the field you have to watch for tampering that could lead to the kid jumping ship in the middle of the game depending on the money offered in briefcases sitting on the side line.

That may not happen but I could see a team literally paying someone on the other team not to show up for their game that weekend. Sounds ridiculous but it really isn't compared to everything else going on.

this is probably been happening for years. I still firmly believe the Mannings paid Cam Newton to throw the Superbowl so Peyton could go out on top.

This reminds me of a joke a comedian once told

in which he talked about a trade announced by a pro team during a game - and that a player was being traded to the team they were playing. The comedian’s punch line was: “So, essentially the team is telling that player: we think our chances of beating this team are better if you’re on their team”
One of the funniest lines I’ve ever heard!

Joe Garagiola, who was the role model from which Bob Ueker got his self-deprecating sense of humor, once said this:
Once, when I was traded, the General Manager said, "We expect this trade to hurt both teams."

Not exactly the same, but still unusual.
On August 4, 1982, Joel Youngblood became the only player in history to get hits for two different teams in two different cities on the same day.[5] Youngblood started the day as the starting centerfielder for the Mets on the road in Chicago against the Cubs, who played all their home games in the afternoon at the time due to Wrigley Field having yet to install lights. In the third inning, hitting off of future Hall of Famer Ferguson Jenkins, Youngblood drove in two runs with a single.[6] He was on deck in the next inning when he was called back to the dugout, where he was informed that he had been traded to the Montreal Expos. Not only had he been traded, but the Expos had requested that Youngblood make himself available for their game later that evening in Philadelphia as they were particularly short handed on players. After saying goodbye to his Mets teammates, checking out of his hotel room in Chicago, and then having to return to Wrigley Field to retrieve his fielding glove, Youngblood boarded a 6:05 PM flight from O’Hare International Airport and landed in Philadelphia approximately ninety minutes later. He reached Veterans Stadium, where the Expos were playing the Phillies, during the sixth inning and Expos manager Jim Fanning called on Youngblood to pinch hit shortly after his arrival. Facing another future Hall of Famer in Steve Carlton, Youngblood reached on an infield single when Manny Trillo could not field the ball cleanly. No one has accomplished this feat since.
