White Sox Trade for Left-Handed Reliever Cam Booser

Chicago acquires Booser from Boston in exchange for minor league pitcher Yhoiker Fajardo, designating Corey Julks for assignment.

Cam Booser, a 32-year-old left-handed reliever, joins the White Sox after a strong rookie season with the Red Sox, posting a 3.38 ERA in 43 appearances.
Boston receives 18-year-old minor league pitcher Yhoiker Fajardo, who had a 3.91 ERA and 64 strikeouts across 13 starts in rookie-level ball this year.
Booser's career comeback includes overcoming injuries, a suspension, and a three-year hiatus, during which he worked as a carpenter before returning to baseball in 2021.
To make room for Booser on the 40-man roster, the White Sox designated outfielder Corey Julks, who struggled offensively with a .214 batting average in 2024.
This trade marks the second recent deal between the teams, following the White Sox's December 11 move sending Garrett Crochet to Boston for four prospects.
