According to Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun, the Orioles have been trying to trade Jake Fox since he was designated for assignment, but they have been unsuccessful.

The 10-day mark for them to make a decision on Fox is Saturday and they will probably have to pass him through outright waivers. Although teams are not allowed to comment on the waiver process, their doesn’t appear to be a trade involving him at this point adds Zrebiec.

The team could lose Fox on the waiver process, but their failure to trade him is an indication that they didn’t receive much interest in him. It’s obviously they wouldn’t have asked for much in return.

Fox was hitting .188/.250/.396 with 2 HR’s and 4 RBI’s in 48 AB’s for the Orioles this season.
