Desperately seeking Sadzeck: Mariners acquire embattled RHP Mike Wright Jr. in return for SS Ryne Ogren

The Mariners hear your concerns about the bullpen, and they have addressed those concerns by adding...Mike Wright Jr.?

The Orioles drafted Mike Wright in the third round in 2011 out of East Carolina; Baseball America identified him as a likely reliever and put a sixth-round projection on him, but Baltimore thought Wright had starter potential and took him much sooner. The Orioles were aggressive with Wright, sliding him all the way to A ball the summer after he was drafted, and moving him to AA in his first full year in the system.
