Good call, Tony.

Ynoa Gomez has been called up from AAA-Norfolk, and Wright has been DFA'd.

MMMM! Marinate!

Nice, efficient outing for Ynoa last night, pitching with a 9-1 lead.   He allowed a ground single between short and third, but got a pop fly and a DP grounder to end it.   9 pitches, no fuss, no muss.

It's almost a little maddening how easy of a decision it was to replace Mike Wright with a younger, better, more efficient, more level-headed pitcher who also happens to have a good amount of ML experience.

The madness isn’t how easy it was to do, but how long it took to do it.

Utterly amazed how long Wright has been able to keep a roster spot.

5 years of not a sliver of success from a once fringe prospect. And he's kept his roster spot.

It's amazing.  He has a -1.2 WAR over 5 years.  All I can say is he must be one hell of a clubhouse presence to have kept his roster spot for this long.

That’s great.

Wright traded to the Mariners.

#orioles have acquired INF Ryne Ogren from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for RHP Mike Wright. Ogren will be assigned to Class-A Delmarva.

Seattle has been pretty good at developing relievers. I'm interested in seeing how this turns out. 

[scbalt52]

Ogren is actually kind of interesting.

So Wright was worth a Low Class-A no-hit utility guy. They might as well have gotten future considerations!

Now I don't this guy from Adam other than his stats in the pros and at Elon, but what makes him interesting? Is it his lack or power and speed? Is it his .250/.344/.356/.700 slash line in rookie ball as a 21-year old last year or his .159/.229/.318/.547 slash line this year so far?

It's not like the guy is a defensive whiz at SS, because he's been playing all over the infield. So what makes him interesting? What am I missing?

He appears to be the exact kind of guy you give up just to make it a trade rather than a release. Remember, the Orioles now are off the hook for most of his $568K salary.

Wright has to go on their 25 man roster now?
