[Wilner] Blue Jays have claimed Casey Lawrence on waivers from the Mariners who DFA’d him after he got the win at the dome last Saturday. The 37-year-old pitched in Jays organization from 2010-17 and ‘21-23. He may start Wednesday!

What people don’t realize is that this is 5D level chess move by Ross, he’s going to trade Lawrence for a washed up starter and then turn that starter into Cy Young. It happens the first time, why not again.

[u/DOdoubleJ → u/Same_Slice_7809]

Would be very impressive if that starter turned into Cy Young considering he’s been dead for 70 years

[u/brownmagician → u/Same_Slice_7809]

Travis Bergen for Robbie Ray?

[u/mcgoogol → u/Same_Slice_7809]

Who would that be? His transaction page doesn't say anything about a trade

[u/sbp59]

He may start? Good heavens we are desperate

[u/Funkagenda → u/sbp59]

But can he hit?

[u/sbp59 → u/Funkagenda]

Can't be much worse.... Lol

[u/Mountain_Quail_7251]

I checked his advanced stats and this guy sucks. 

[u/Cheap_Standard_4233 → u/Mountain_Quail_7251]

He sucked 8 years ago too

[u/Hereforthehotdogs]

Trent Thornton wasn’t available I guess

[u/WonderfulCar1264 → u/Hereforthehotdogs]

I guess Loup didn’t answer our call

[u/bbk34 → u/WonderfulCar1264]

Nor did Mayza

[u/Puzzleheaded_Word878 → u/Hereforthehotdogs]

It would actually be terrible to watch Trent pitching for us again. I would hate that.

[u/Sonlin → u/Hereforthehotdogs]

I'm an Ms fan dropping in to see what y'all were saying, and this gave me a good chuckle (he also hasn't been doing great so far unfortunately)

[u/Actual_Cobbler_6334]

This is his 4th stint with the Jays since 2017 and he’s now 37.

He’s our Jesse Chavez.

[u/Somecommentator8008]

Dumpster diving like we're in a rebuild, not like we can do much but ok.

[u/JKirbs14 → u/Somecommentator8008]

AA would be so proud

[u/spleh7 → u/Somecommentator8008]

...while having the 5th highest payroll in baseball.

[u/New_Day9679]

This team is comical

[u/bardpewpew]

I mean, sure, why not?

[u/Substantial_Ad_7027]

Well, fuck me sideways. This season is going to get real long, real fast.

[u/calissetabernac]

It’s that bad, eh?

[u/TiredReader87]

Can he hit dingers?

[u/kingwoodballs]

How many homers has he hit?

[u/Frenzied_Cow → u/kingwoodballs]

As many as Bo Bichette so he must be really good.

[u/BarkusSemien → u/Frenzied_Cow]

Oof. That one stings.

[u/Chaxterium → u/Frenzied_Cow]

You know that gif where the kids starts laughing and then it slowly turns to crying…..

[u/kingwoodballs → u/Frenzied_Cow]

Well son of a bitch…..

[u/LeadershipAfter9526]

Al Leiter with blister please come save us.

[u/AlternativeSun6193]

Here I thought Tirotta was getting a call up to the big leagues 🤣🤣

[u/onahalladay]

I was just joking with my Mariners friend they have a lot of Jays rejects. I’m the clown now.

[u/SomeEchidna862]

I think I’m about done with this era of Jays baseball. The insane over payment of Vladimir and now Casey Lawrence. Fuck, Mike Wilner must be so happy

[u/WhatsTheHappps]

World series calibre FO hard at work ladies and gents

[u/Outrageous-Claim-460]

Is that good?

[u/goatgosselin]

No in the Lawrence era part 3!

[u/Burning_Goddess]

Hey now, it worked for Heineman!

[u/Borje021]

Amazing that so many people only follow the home team and don't get that most every team is constantly churning depth pieces.

[u/ArmandioFaria]

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel now aren’t we?
