Has there been another baseball player on the level of Gary Sheffield that has been traded so often?

Question

Sheff has had success with San Diego, Florida, LA, Atlanta, The Yankees and now Detroit. His day today (4-5, HR, 3B, 2 RBI 2R) just got me thinking. I can't think of a player on his level (.297 career average, outside shot at reaching 500 HRs this year) who has been with so many different teams while maintaining his level of success.

Answer 1

Roberto Alomar, though he was traded "only" four times to Sheff's five. Robbie changed teams four times as a free agent, though he never played for his last team, Tampa Bay.

Answer 2

Reggie Jackson was a bona fide superstar, bounced around quite a bit back in the day and was equally controversial......probably more than Sheffield. He played in Oakland, Baltimore, the Yankees, the Angels, and then traded back to Oakland. He might not have had the batting average Sheff has had over his career but definitely had the power numbers. He's the 1st player that came to mind.

Answer 3

Fred McGriff. 19 seasons with 6 different teams. .284 Career average and 493 HR

Answer 4

Throught baseball history, there have been many superstar-level players who constantly changed teams. Included are Hall of Famers like Gaylord Perry, and the greatest right-handed hitter ever, Rogers Hornsby

Answer 5

Traded yes but as often cant really recallone. He has one of the best bats of are era, but he does it to his self. He had the nerve to say quate for quate "The yankees are too business like" Excuse me ther is no one in recent memory who is more business like he has been chasing a pay check for years and his attitude hasnt helped either

Answer 6

i am not sure but i am a yankees fan and he was my favorite player on the team. now that he is gone derek jeter is my favorite.
