What baseball players have been traded for themselves?

Hello 4103-ga,

It appears that as many as six players have been traded for themselves
(though at least one has disputed that characterization):  Harry
Chiti, Rob Ducey, Archie Corbin, Dickie Noles, Mark Ross, and Clint
Courtney.

I'll pass it along to Mr. Steinbrenner.

Thank you.

You're welcome.  (Perhaps a good follow-up question would be whether
Mr. Steinbrenner's trade of George Costanza to Tyson Chicken has any
parallels in baseball history.  The trade of Babe Ruth for the money
for No-No-Nanette is close, but I'm sure there are stranger trades
than that!)
