Red Sox Trade Cam Booser to White Sox

The Boston Red Sox have made notable moves in the offseason, including acquiring All-Star pitcher Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox. In a subsequent deal, the Red Sox traded lefty reliever Cam Booser to the White Sox for minor league pitcher Yhoiker Fajardo, allowing the Red Sox to clear space on their 40-man roster for potential new signings. Booser, who had a compelling journey back to the majors, finished the 2024 season with a 3.38 ERA over 43 appearances for Boston. The Red Sox are also considering adding former Mets pitcher Sean Manaea to strengthen their rotation further, with projections suggesting he may be a cost-effective option. Meanwhile, Crochet's addition is expected to significantly enhance the Red Sox's pitching lineup. Boston's rotation ranked seventh in the league with a 3.81 ERA in 2024 and could see further improvements with these strategic acquisitions.
