Last week, the Yankees sent left-hander Lucas Luetge to the Braves for infielder Caleb Durbin and right-hander Indigo Diaz. That move came days after the Yankees designated Luetge for assignment to open a spot on the 40-man roster.
The Boston Globe’s Peter Abraham likes the move for Atlanta.
The Braves made a potentially valuable under-the-radar move when they traded two prospects to the Yankees for lefthander Lucas Luetge, who had been designated for assignment. Luetge had a 2.71 ERA the last two seasons for the Yankees and throws a baffling curveball.
