After suffering a franchise record of 121 losses in 2024, the Chicago White Sox faced multiple roster needs, especially in left-handed relief pitching. General Manager Chris Getz took a conservative route by seeking trades instead of financial investments. The White Sox traded for Cam Booser and Tyler Gilbert, focusing on controllable options. Booser was obtained from Boston in exchange for young pitcher Yhoiker Fajardo, who had a promising start in the minors. However, Booser has faced challenges, struggling with a 5.11 ERA and recently being placed on the Injured List due to a shoulder strain.
