O's acquire Wright from yankees
O's trade Chris Britton for Jaret Wright and cash.
Good move if you ask me, Britton is a marginal major league reliever, Wright hasnt been great but its worth a shot when we are gviing up virtually nothing, and will only be paying him about 3-4 million. If he does well we look like geniuses if he struggles we arent paying him much and we can cut him or trade him easily.

What a shrewd move by the Orioles. Wright was the Braves' ace under Mazzone, and reuniting them was very smart by the Orioles. Look for a good year from Wright in '07.

Actually, I completely expect him to suck, I just think its worth taking a shot just in case Mazonne can light a fire under him and he is actually good, but I definitley expect him to be a number 5 starter best case scenario.
