Extend Mike Wright?

[atomic]

Actually his contract is $1.5 million this year. Almost 3 times what Wright is making.  No wonder he left.  Wright probably should go as well.

Looks like he is getting paid $900k a year and pitching well in Korea.  So making significantly more than Wright and winning games.  

Like the song says,”nice work if you can get it”

Yup, I thought he would do well in Korea. Wilson knows how to pitch, he just lacks the velocity to get out MLB hitters. Give him Wright's arm and he would be the Orioles best pitcher.

I always liked Tyler.   I bet he’s the kind of guy who will learn to speak Korean and fit in well during his time there.

Yeah I thought he would be a #5, knew how to pitch just stuff wasn’t there. Def a fan as well. Clemson I believe.

Definitely can't get MLB hitters out though.

That’s how you create a black hole.

Mike Wright would absolutely strike out Davis. 9 out of 10 times he would get him out some way.

I'll gladly offer an extension...I'll extend my arm to open the door to show him out the door to the waiver wire.

I'm not gonna lie, I kind of loved Sucre's reaction after Wright completely missed his spot on the 3 run HR by Torres. Literally rose to his feet, turned away and I'm sure said some stuff NSFW.  I don't think I've seen that much from a catcher.

B-Rob was in the Radio booth.

He said pitchers really need to know how to not lose focus when the ump clearly blows a call behind the plate.

Lol, Severino did something similar just last night. I am OK with emotion as long as it is directed more to the outcome than blaming the pitcher. https://www.mlb.com/cut4/yankees-orioles-react-to-homer-in-contrast

I cannot believe we gave up Jackson for this guy. Please, Mike, make it end.

Hyde in postgame when asked if they would need a fresh arm for tomorrow: “Hanser picked us up big time.” Said it 3 times, actually. 

Translation: “Mike Wright ain’t going anywhere.”

Does Wright have “something” on high level people in this organization?  Do people actually fear Arrieta 2.0?  There can’t possibly be any other reason for keeping him at this point.  He can’t get major league hitters out.  He has been awful every year and he is 29.  It is okaaaaaaay to give up on a player.
