The A's are in the market for a shortstop, and their top two choices are still seen as Stephen Drew and Yunel Escobar.
The now high-flying A's remain interested in the Chase Headley market, but a match isn't seen as likely for them.
The Rays could use a shortstop, but Drew is viewed as a better possibility for Oakland. The Mariners might have an interest in Escobar, if they mover Brendan Ryan, who along with the Twins' Jamey Carroll may also be traded.
The Giants are likely out of the infield mix after picking up Marco Scutaro.
