His Baseball Reference page lists this transaction link:

"PORTLAND (AP) The Portland Beavers, currently resting in
seventh place in the Pacific Coast League, Monday received outfielder Dave
Melton from the Kansas City Athletics in return for pitcher Fernando
Rodriguez. Melton was sent to Portland on option and Rodriguez was optioned
to Kansas City's Intenational League farm club, Buffalo."
Melton evidently stayed under A's control, but Freddy was under BUFFALO control, albeit in the A's system. The next season, Buffalo became a Philadelphia affiliate, and Rodriguez went along with the ride.
Melton returned to the A's in 1959.
