Yes. Red Kelley was traded from the Detroit Red Wings to the New York Rangers, he chose to retire rather than being traded. Eventually he was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and agreed with the trade.
Jackie Robinson chose retirement over being traded from the Dodgers to the Giants. He stayed retired.

Many, many times in every professional sport. The outcome was they sat unless the team made other arrangements. Ever hear of Curt Flood and Andy Messersmith?
