The Boston Red Sox never gave a solid veteran the chance to make the roster despite strong numbers in Triple-A Worcester.
The Boston Red Sox have been anchored by a strong bullpen for the bulk of the season due to just about every reliever exceeding or meeting expectations set entering the 2024 campaign.
However, there was a period surrounding the All-Star break where both Justin Slaten and Chris Martin went down and the rest of the group imploded time and time again."Lucas Luetge opted out of Red Sox deal and now says he’s with the Cubs on Instagram," MassLive's Chris Cotillo reported Wednesday. The 37-year-old posted a 3.02 ERA with a 47-to-13 strikeout-to-walk ratio, .229 batting average against and a 1.18 WHIP in 41 2/3 innings for the WooSox.
Given his success in Worcester and his career 3.60 ERA across six seasons -- including a pair of elite campaigns -- I'm not sure what else the southpaw could do.The Red Sox are short of left-handed pitching depth and now have one less option to turn to. Instead, Luetge will join the Cubs' last-minute surge for a playoff run while attempting to revitalize his career.
Chicago is 57-60, five games back of the final National League Wild Card spot. It'll be interesting to see if the veteran can produce or if the Red Sox got it right all along.Scott Neville covers the Boston Red Sox for Sports Illustrated's new page "Inside The Red Sox."
