Sure. There was even a four-team deal a few years ago. Lemme see if I can dig it up....
Source(s): Ah, here we go... it was a non-waiver deadline (31-July) deal in 2004, and Nomar Garciaparra was the big name involved. Boston relinquished: Garciaparra, Matt Murton Boston received: Doug Mientkiewicz, Orlando Cabrera Minnesota relinquished: Mientkiewicz Minnesota received: Justin Jones Montreal relinquished: Cabrera Montreal received: Brendan Harris, Alex Gonzalez, Francis Beltran Chicago Cubs relinquished: Jones, Harris, Gonzalez, Beltran Cubs received: Garciaparra, Murton Whew -- working that one out with the deadline approaching is either impressive or reckless. Probably a bit of both. - 1 decade ago
You are probably thinking of basketball, which has more three way deals nowadays than other professional sports because of all their salary cap crap (matching, dumping, etc). So there is a reason that it is done so often in the NBA.
It is done in baseball and other sports too, but not to the same degree since there isn't the same type of motivations.
There have been many notable three (or more) team trades in MLB over the years though! Often it is used in baseball when certain prospects are wanted in trades that also involve veteran players. It all depends on what teams want/need of course.

yes say the angels indians and rangers were in a deal and for example it went
Indians Receive-Chone Figgins
Rangers Receive- Fausto Carmona
Angels receive- Mark Teixeira that would be a three way deal and you can do it in any sport but your probably thinking of basketball

Three-way deals are possible and not uncommon in all major professional sports.
