I don't think this is the record for straight up trades, (he was only actually traded 5 times) but between trades, and being released repeatedly, Bobo Newsom has quite a rap sheet, with 23 transactions over the course of his 20-season career.

Harry Chiti. In 1962, Harry Chiti was traded from the Cleveland Indians to the New York Mets for the proverbial 'player to be named later'. In 15 games for the Mets, Chiti batted .195. He was sent back to the Indians two months after the trade as the 'player to be named later'. He didn't play another game in the majors after being returned to the Indians.
In MLB, that would depend on the player's contract, how long the player has been in the league and how long the player has played with the team that is trying to trade him. A player can negotiate a no trade clause in his contract which would not allow the team to trade him. Of course, the player could choose to waive the no trade clause, usually for compensation from his team, which would allow him to be traded. Any player who has been in MLB for ten full seasons and played with his current team for five full seasons may not be traded without his consent. You might hear these players being referred to as 'ten five' players. If a player does not have a no trade clause in his contract or is not a 'ten five' player, he made be traded without his permission.
No player with the most hits in MLB was traded to the Yankees. Pete Rose has the most hits in baseball history and he was never a Yankee. The old record was held by Ty Cobb and he also was not a Yankee.

Many major league players played their entire careers with only one team and were never traded.
If a baseball contract is sold to someone else, it usually means that they wanted to be traded. Not always though.
MLB, Major League Baseball, rumors abound and there are about as many websites to discuss them as there are rumors. Rumors as to what a team is going to do, or who is going to be traded are prolific and ongoing.
Yes. To win a league batting title, a player must have a minimum of 502 plate appearances. If a player has 502 or more plate appearances when he is traded to the other league and winds up in 1st place in batting average for the league he was traded from, he is awarded the league title. To win an MLB (both leagues) batting title, a player must have a minimum of 502 plate appearances combined in both leagues.
That one player who years ago was traded to the Giants for some equipment
The color purple has been traded over history.
Sammy Sosa was traded three times during his career: 1) Traded by the Texas Rangers to the Chicago White Sox in 1989. 2) Traded by the White Sox to the Chicago Cubs in 1992. 3) Traded by the Cubs to the Baltimore Orioles in 2005.
The trades that were made in the Major League Baseball Offseason in 2003 were the Boston Red Sox trading Curt Schilling to the Arizona Diamondbacks for Brandon Lyon, Casey Fossum, Jorge da La Rosa and a player to be named later, the Chicago Cubs traded Hee Seop Choi to the Florida Marlins for Derrek Lee and a player to be named later, the Oakland Athletics traded Ramon Hernandez and Terrence Long to the San Diego Padres for Mark Kotsay.
The history of exchange traded option and over the counter option is that they were not traded in secondary markets.
Draft picks cannot be traded. In addition, a player once drafted cannot be traded until 1 year to the day after signing. This explains a lot of times when a player is traded for a player to be named later, (Jeremy Bonderman was a player to be named later in the Jeff Weaver trade in 2003 because Bonderman signed on August 2, 2002 but Weaver was traded on July 6, 2003 so Oakland had to wait until August 2, 2003 to trade him so he was called a player to be named later)
