FISHKILL, N.Y. (AP) – Two minor league teams, the Hudson Valley Renegades and Fort Myers Miracle, will trade general managers after the season.

Steve Gliner, GM of the Renegades in the Class-A New York-Penn League, will take over the Miracle, the Minnesota Twins’ Class-A affiliate in the Florida State League. Fort Myers general manager Dave Burke will take over in Hudson Valley, a Tampa Bay Devil Rays affiliate.

The deal will become official Oct. 1 – and it’s no gag.

“This is for real. It’s not April 1,” Gliner told the Poughkeepsie Journal. “It’s unique. You usually don’t see people swapping clubs like this.”

The decision was based more on family than baseball, the two GMs said Thursday. Gliner said the move allows his two sons, ages 6 and 2, to be closer to their grandparents, who live in Florida and Charleston, S.C. Burke said the move takes him just 60 miles from his hometown of Wayne, N.J., where his siblings still live.

Officials at Goldklang Group, which owns those and several other minor league teams, presented the idea about two months ago, Burke said.

“I had a chuckle at first, but then I knew the opportunity it presented,” Burke told the newspaper. “I jumped on the offer.”

Gliner began as the Renegades’ director of sales and marketing in December 1993. He became the team’s president and general manager in September 2001.

“It was a very easy decision and a very difficult decision,” he said. “I’ve been here since Day 1. It’s hard to walk away from that.”
