Well, I have to give myself a thumbsdown because the answer I had was Perry and Wilhelm with 5 trades each. Craig S is correct with Grimes and 6. Can anyone come up with more?

EDIT: OK, found a different site that has specifics. Score one for the other guy, Burleigh Grimes was traded 6 times.

Kiner was only traded twice: Pirates to Cubs in '52, Cubs to Indians in '55. However, a bad back knocked him out at age 33, which is why he "only" had 369 home runs -- that and he played most of his career in Pittsburgh's Forbes Field, a pitcher's park. Had he been able to play until he was 40, he would have had well over 500, maybe even 600. He got into the Hall of Fame on his 15th and final try, which is unfair.
Frank Robinson got traded four times: Reds to Orioles in '66, to the Dodgers in '72, to the Angels in '73 and to the Indians in '74.
As for Brouthers, that was a different era, the time of "syndicate baseball." But if there's a Hall-of-Famer in any era that's been traded that much, it's news to me.
Could this be connected to whether Gary Sheffield gets in?

Bobo Newsome isn't in the Hall of Fame.
Gaylord Perry (5) and Ferguson Jenkins (4) would be my guess.
EDIT: My guess was wrong, as Wilhelm was traded 1 time more.
Perry was only traded 5 times, the other 3 changes of them were free agent moves.
Wilhelm was also traded 5 times, he was selected off waivers 3 times, drafted in an expansion draft one, and as a free agent once.

Gaylord Perry was traded five times, so I'm guessing he's one of them. Still thinking on the other(s).
Okay - How about Burleigh Grimes? Looks like he was dealt six times in his HOF career.
Rudy - Perry and Wilhelm were only traded five times. Check the transactions - those others were just signings, not trades. Here's his record - check out all the times he was chosen off waivers. It's only five trades:

Besides Gaylord Perry, Dan Brouthers also played for 9 different major league baseball teams.

Clemente replaced into one, he died on New Years Eve 1972, and that they inducted him right here summer season (1973) and, Lou Gehrig, the 300 and sixty 5 days the HOF opened in 1939. that's interior the HOF instruction manual that I have been given while i replaced into there final iciness.

I know Ralph Kiner and Frank Robinson were traded frequently.

Hornsby is close, too. He was traded three times and released outright twice.
