The most I could find stumbling through Baseball Reference was when 3 HOF'ers Mathewson, McKechnie and Ed Rousch were traded from the Giants to the Reds for a couple non-HOF'ers.
Came across a bunch with 2 HOF'ers.
Hoyt Wilhelm for Luis Aparicio
Manush for Goslin
Grimes for Stengel
Frankie Frisch for Hornsby (probably the most significant)
It just doesn't seem to happen very often when future HOF'ers trade teams.
Lots of Blockbuster trades with eye-candy prospects who never really panned out or didn't reach the HOF level.
