Left-handed reliever Cam Booser, who enjoyed a strong rookie season as a 32-year-old this year, was acquired by the Chicago White Sox in a trade with the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.
Boston obtained minor league right-hander Yhoiker Fajardo in the deal.
Booser went 2-3 with one save and a 3.38 ERA in 43 relief appearances for the Red Sox in 2024. He struck out 43 and walked 16 in 42 2/3 innings.
Booser arrived in the majors 13 years after making his minor league debut. He was out of the minors from 2018-20 and took work as a carpenter.
Fajardo, 18, went 1-4 with a 3.91 ERA in 13 starts in rookie-level ball this year. He struck out 64 and walked eight in 50 2/3 innings.
The White Sox designated outfielder Corey Julks for assignment to clear a spot for Booser on the 40-man roster.
Julks, 28, hit .214 with a .275 on-base percentage, a .306 slugging percentage, three homers and 14 RBIs in 66 games for Chicago this year. In two major league seasons, including 2023 with the Houston Astros, Julks has a career .234/.289/.335 batting line with nine homers and 47 RBIs in 159 games.
