In 1982, Wayne Nordhagen did a ten day Blue Jays->Phillies->Pirates-> back to the Jays circuit.
From Wikipedia: In an oddity, Nordhagen was traded twice in ten days for the same player, outfielder Dick Davis. On June 15, 1982, Nordhagen was traded by the Blue Jays to the Philadelphia Phillies for Davis. Later that day, without having played for the Phillies, he was traded again, this time to the Pirates for outfielder Bill Robinson. On June 25, after playing in just one game for the Pirates (going 2-for-4 with 2 RBI), Nordhagen was traded back to the Blue Jays as the player to be named later in a trade that occurred on June 22, in which the Pirates had acquired the very same Dick Davis.
The Pirates voided the deal due to their discovery of a pre-existing back injury on Nordhagen. The Bucs kept the 2 RBIs though...

I had heard of this before, but had simply forgotten he did it…
