Mariners Casey Lawrence Agree To Minor League Deal Agai
Right-hander is back with the Mariners again. The two sides have agreed to yet another minor league pact, . Lawrence is represented by Big League Management. If and when the 37-year-old veteran makes his way back to the major league roster, itll be his fourth stint with Seattle in 2025 alone. Its been a wild year for Lawrence, who re-signed with the Mariners as a minor league free agent over the winter. This is the third season in which hes logged big league time with the Ms, though his prior stints havent involved such frequent rides on the DFA carousel. Lawrence was on the heels of his most recent Mariners DFA, also marking the third season in which hes suited up for Toronto. The Jays designated
Ron Kittle Jersey him after one long relief outing (2 2/3 innings, three runs allowed). He elected free agency after pa sing through waivers and is now back in the Pacific Northwest. Acro s his three stints with Seattle this season, Lawrence has pitched 10 innings and allowed four earned runs (3.60 ERA) on 14 hits and a walk with four strikeouts. Coupled with his lone appearance in Toronto, Lawrence has a 4.97 ERA on the season. Hes fanned just 8.3% of the hitters hes faced but also has just a 1.7% walk rate. Hes also made a pair of starts with the Mariners Triple-A affiliate, totaling 10 1/3 innings and holding opponents to five runs on 13 hits with an 8-to-3 K/BB ratio (18.2 K%, 6.8 BB%). Lawrence spent the entire 2024 season in the rotation for the Mariners Tacoma affiliate as well, so despite the frequent DFAs four times already in a six-week-old season theres probably some stability with regard to his living situation. It may seem inconvenient to the player or even callous on the surface, but Lawrence seems comfortable with an arrangement that effectively renders him the 41st man on Seattles 40-man roster. Teams and players are typically up-front with one another in situations like this one; its not as though Lawrence is being blindsided by the frequent removal from the roster. The Mariners will likely continue to shuttle him on and off the 40-man roster when they need length in the bullpen or a spot start.
