The Orioles have agreed to a one-year contract with free-agent left-hander Wesley Wright, according to MASNsports.com. The Baltimore Sun reported that the deal is pending a physical. The club has not confirmed the deal.
Wright spent last season with the Cubs, pitching 48 1/3 innings across 58 appearances and posting a 3.17 ERA, 19 walks and 37 strikeouts. He held left-handed batters to zero extra-base hits and a .594 OPS.

A seven-year veteran, Wright also has spent time with the Astros and Rays. He enters his age-30 season with a 3.25 ERA over 166 1/3 innings since 2011, with 8.5 strikeouts per nine innings and 3.2 walks per nine innings. Lefties have hit only .238/.315/.331 against Wright in his career.
Baltimore potentially had three southpaws in its bullpen already, with closer Zach Britton joined by Brian Matusz and T.J. McFarland.
