No, no. Lucas Luetge&#8217;s farewell to baseball was supposed to come much earlier. Before the Yankees ever called. Before he ever suited up in pinstripes. Before he was called on, time and again, to bedevil Andrew Benintendi or soak up the final three innings of a somewhat comfortable win and earn a mega-save for his troubles. His fond goodbye was supposed to go live before\u00a0<em>any<\/em>\u00a0of that.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">But Luetge wasn&#8217;t ready to hit &#8220;send&#8221; quite yet.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Last Thursday,\u00a0Luetge revealed in an Instagram post\u00a0that he was finally content with his career and would be hanging up his spikes after they&#8217;d boosted him through a fairytale-like late-career resurgence.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The lefty pitched for the Yankees in 2021 and 2022, but when he toed the rubber in the Bronx on April 3 \u2014 in a game that was very much still up for grabs \u2014 he&#8217;d ended a 2,170-day gap between big-league appearances. Mariners, 2012-2015. Yankees, 2021-2022.

In 2015, he made just one appearance, consisting of 2 1\/3 shutout frames on April 25. By and large, he was relegated to Triple-A, where he threw 62 1\/3 innings in 2014 and 50 the next year.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Mariners then moved on. So did the\u00a0Angels, who used him as a phantom MLB player\u00a0for a series in 2016, but nothing more. He moved in and out of the clubhouse like a substitute ghost. The Reds and Orioles both experimented, but couldn&#8217;t find the thread. He lost the 2018 season to Tommy John, because of course he did. The Marlins, Diamondbacks, and A&#8217;s during COVID never gave him the bump he was yearning for; in 2020, he toiled at the alternate site in stark silence. Rarely was he injured. Franchise after franchise just opted not to extend their hands.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Until the Yankees in 2021, when Luetge arrived to camp as a longshot and left it undeniable.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-1\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-1&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1377643290791710726&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fyanksgoyard.com%2Frecent-yankees-fan-favorite-reliever-announces-retirement-in-heartfelt-instagram-post&amp;sessionId=ac1c2f276a6d8fe8148f43bbe26698c381651125&amp;siteScreenName=YanksGoYardFS&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1377643290791710726\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Over the course of the next two seasons, Luetge defied the DFA odds and survived, posting 2.74 and 2.67 ERAs in 72 1\/3 and 57 1\/3 innings apiece. He was mostly used in lower-leverage opportunities in 2022, as his WHIP ballooned from 1.134 to 1.395, but he still survived as an integral part of the clubhouse and a proven multi-trick pony.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">It&#8217;s always been strangely hard to find a pitcher capable of coaxing a large lead to the finish line in games that seem decided, but aren&#8217;t quite yet. After all, if the pitcher excels enough, he&#8217;ll be used in higher-leverage work eventually. If a pitcher struggles, he can&#8217;t be trusted with any lead, big or small. But Luetge always managed to thread that needle nicely, handling the long nights with aplomb.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">At the end of the 2022 season, the Yankees saw the end of the road on the horizon, trading the lefty to\u00a0Atlanta for a package\u00a0that\u00a0included Caleb Durbin,\u00a0the eventual\u00a0centerpiece of the Devin Williams trade. Luetge continued to fight, logging 13 2\/3 innings in Atlanta that year, followed by a summer with the Triple-A Woo Sox in Boston&#8217;s system.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Now, though, the fight is finally over \u2014 and has been successfully won. As Luetge wrote in his farewell, &#8220;Every step of this journey has been a lesson in perseverance, faith, and love for the game.&#8221; And the best part is, while is career may be over, those lessons will be eternal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston Red Sox v New York Yankees | Elsa\/GettyImages This post wasn&#8217;t supposed to be sent out during spring training in 2025.
