This is of course a question I never thought I'd be asking, being that Lawrence is coming off of an injury and a few not so amazing seasons.
However, that being said, at least four teams are interested enough in Lawrence to have offered enough of a contract to apparently start a little bidding war.
"The Seattle Mariners have been characterized recently as the front-runners for 30-year-old free agent pitcher Brian Lawrence.
But Lawrence's agent, Page Odle, said Thursday the Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates improved their offers. The San Diego Padres are also in the running." - Source
The word on the street is that after his surgery, Lawrence has gained a little on his fastball, has cut to his cutter, and has regained strength and faith in his other pitches as well. Regardless of whether it's true or not, it's been enough to garner attention from at least four teams. Something tells me that Lawrence is most likely to sign with the Padres or Mariners, being that he had success with the Padres in the past and the Mariners are likely to offer more for him than the Rockies or the Pirates. However, it will be interesting to see just where he goes.
