When looking at the career numbers of Curt Flood at http://www.baseball-reference.com/f/floodcu01.shtml I saw this entry, explaining how Flood came to finish his career with the Senators:

"November 3, 1970: Traded by the Philadelphia Phillies with a player to be named later to the Washington Senators for Greg Goossen, Jeff Terpko, and Gene Martin. The Philadelphia Phillies sent Jeff Terpko (April 10, 1971) to the Washington Senators to complete the trade."

So the Phillies got Terpko in November, and then he was the player named later to complete the trade?

Has anyone else ever been traded for themselves?

I don't go to bars, but I suspect you could win a few bar bets with this info.
