6/19 22:44: Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun says the Orioles continue to have conversation with the Oakland A’s about Fox.

The A’s have 10 days to either trade him, push him through waivers and assign him to the Minor Leagues or give him his outright release. Because he is unlikely to clear waivers, Oakland will be better to make a deal for Fox.

6/16 16:11: Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun says the Orioles have discussed acquiring catcher-first baseman Jake Fox from the Oakland Athlatics. Fox was designated for assignment by the A’s on Sunday.

Zrebiec says that if the Orioles add Fox, it probably means the end for Garrett Atkins in Baltimore.

Fox was hitting .264/.237/.591 with two home runs and 12 RBIs in 38 games for the Athletics in 2010.
