The Baltimore Orioles reportedly added yet another left-hander to their bullpen Tuesday evening by agreeing to a one-year deal with Wesley Wright, according to MASN's Roch Kubatko.

Wright, a seven-year veteran, fashioned a 3.17 ERA with a 1.39 WHIP over 58 appearances for the Chicago Cubs last season, though he managed a career-worst 17.7 percent strikeout rate. He did, however, limit left-handed hitters to a .594 OPS and didn't surrender a single extra-base hit in 85 plate appearances.

Despite losing Andrew Miller to free agency, the Orioles currently have four left-handers poised to receive spots in the bullpen next season, and the addition of Wright will likely fuel trade speculation surrounding Brian Matusz and T.J. McFarland.
