Josh Horton Traded To Baltimore

Posted May 23, 2013
The Oakland A's have traded infielder Josh Horton to the Baltimore Orioles. The A's 2007 second-round pick was in a part-time role with the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats and should see more playing time in the Orioles system. The trade was for a player to be named later or cash considerations. A UNC alum, Horton spent six-plus seasons in the A's chain. (Oakland Clubhouse)
