Wright had started a rehab assignment in September and after 3 games he decided to go home ending the rest of the season and maybe his career. On October 1, 2007, the Orioles released Wright. On January 23, 2008, Wright signed a minor league contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates, which included an invitation to spring training.
