Tom Shearn is pitching in rookie ball
Good for both of those guys. They're probably both aware that their future wasn't in the majors anymore. At 30, why the heck wouldn't you want to go see another part of the world and more or less, get a fresh start?? Seems like a no-brainer to me. I'm guessing the pay is a little bit better than the AAA salary...

Today the Reds sold the contract of minor league RHP Tom Shearn to the Samsung Lions of the Korean Professional League and traded to the Cubs minor league RHP Jim Brower in exchange for cash considerations. Both were non-roster invitees to Major League spring training camp.
Shearn went 6-2, 4.53 in 10 starts for Class AAA Louisville (57.2ip, 60h, 15bb, 31k, 8hr).
Brower went 0-1, 2.88 with 2 saves in 17 relief apps for Louisville (25ip, 27h, 11bb, 28k, 1hr).
