According to Dickie Noles' Wikipedia page: "In 1987, Noles earned a dubious distinction in Major League Baseball history, along with Harry Chiti and Brad Gulden among others, of having been traded for himself. Noles was traded from the Cubs to the Detroit Tigers for a player to be named later. Several months later, the teams were unable to agree on what player Chicago would receive, and so Noles was shipped back to the Cubs, completing a deal in which he was traded for himself." Chiti and Gulden's pages describe their deals, though they are pretty similar to his. There were a few other instances in which players were traded for themselves, rather than in separate deals.
