He's Vinny Capra. The 29-year-old actually already has ties to New England/Boston. He was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 20th round of the 2018 MLB Draft and spent some playing time for Manchester, New Hampshire's Fisher Cats. After making his Major League debut with Toronto, he was traded alongside Tyler Heineman, who himself spent some time in the Red Sox system.

Toronto claimed Lawrence off waivers from Seattle back in April, only to release him after making just one relief appearance - spanning 2.2 innings on Apr. 29 - with the club. Shortly afterwards, the veteran hurler was reacquired by the Mariners, who put him through a transaction spin cycle through the remainder of the season, granting his release and ultimately re-signing him multiple times.
