I agree the CD player cannot alter the pitch of the sound AS RECORDED,
but it is possible that the recording process was defective when the
CD was produced (especially if it's a digital re-master of an analog
recording).  This could result in a slightly flat recording.  I've
had a few record albums (vinyl, analog) that had just a single track
that was "between" keys.
