The 37-year-old southpaw was released by the Red Sox last weekend, but it didn’t take him long to latch on elsewhere. Luetge has pitched well at the Triple-A level this season, compiling a 3.02 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 47/13 K/BB ratio across 41 2/3 frames in his 31 appearances at Triple-A Worcester. It shouldn’t take him long to earn an opportunity with the Cubs.

The Red Sox didn’t add Luetge to their 40-man roster after he triggered the opt-out in his contract earlier this week, so he’s headed to free agency. The 37-year-old lefty, who signed a minor league pact with Boston back in February, has made 230 appearances in the big leagues since 2012. He’s recorded six saves to go along with a solid 3.02 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 47/13 K?BB ratio across 41 2/3 innings (31 appearances) this season for Triple-A Worcester. There should be another team out there willing to bring him in on another minor league deal.

The veteran announced the deal on his Twitter account. Luetge tossed 13 2/3 innings with the Braves last year and posted a 7.24 ERA before he was designated for assignment on September 19. He should give Boston reliever depth in the upper level of their minor league system.

Luetge will presumably stick around with the Braves as extra organizational depth after being removed from Atlanta’s 40-man roster earlier this week and going unclaimed on waivers.
