The Blue Jays claimed Lawrence off waivers earlier this season but after a tough stretch, they end up letting him go as the Mariners claimed him off waivers.
His time in Seattle went a lot better than in Toronto as he finished with a 3.00 ERA in 15 innings pitched to go along with 6 strike outs in 5 games.
This seems to be a solid depth signing for the Mariners.
