Wright On Out

Jaret Wright is shufflin' off to Baltimore. The Yankees traded him to Baltimore in exchange for young RP Chris Britton, who will likely be a key component of the future Yankee bullpen. I don't know much about Britton or how much of an impact he'll have in 2007, but at 24 years old, we could see him in Pinstripes for several years.
This is another brilliant move by Brian Cashman. It was widely expected that that the Yankees were going to buyout Wright's contract for $4 million as opposed to exercising his option and paying him $7 million. By trading them, the Yankees now get something in return for the $4 million. Wright's gone, so is the $4 mill and we've got a solid young RP for our troubles. Nice move Cash! This all but guarantees the return of Mike Mussina.
So long Jaret. I'll miss your ability to not pitch more than 5 innings. Thanks for the memories, or better yet, lack of them.
