The Toronto Blue Jays are bringing back a familiar face, announcing today that they have reached a mutual agreement with 37-year-old veteran right-hander Casey Lawrence in a move aimed at strengthening the organization’s pitching depth as the 2025 campaign approaches.
Lawrence, a well-respected figure within the Blue Jays system, rejoins the club following multiple stints with Toronto dating back to his MLB debut in 2017. Known for his durability, leadership, and versatility, Lawrence’s return represents a smart, steady addition as the team prepares for the long grind of the season.
“Casey has always been a competitor and a consummate professional,” a team insider noted. “His familiarity with our system and his ability to step in and contribute at any level make this a no-brainer.”
While not considered a headline-making acquisition, this reunion has quietly generated buzz behind the scenes — especially given the trust and track record Lawrence has built with the organization. The veteran pitcher brings years of experience across MLB, Triple-A, and international play, offering a reliable option for spot starts, bullpen innings, or mentoring younger talent.
In his MLB career, Lawrence has logged nearly 100 innings, collecting valuable experience and demonstrating his capability as a flexible, fill-in arm. Most recently, he contributed at the Triple-A level, continuing to showcase his command and stamina.
The Blue Jays are expected to assign Lawrence to Triple-A Buffalo to start the season, but he remains firmly on the radar for a mid-season call-up should the need arise. His return adds another layer of depth to Toronto’s pitching strategy — the kind of low-risk, high-character signing that can quietly pay dividends over the course of a demanding schedule.
For fans who value experience, grit, and a steady presence on the mound, Casey Lawrence is back — and ready to get to work.
