CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox bolstered their bullpen Saturday, acquiring reliever Cam Booser from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for minor league pitcher Yhoiker Fajardo.
Booser went 2/3 with a 3.38 ERA, one save and 43 strikeouts in 43 relief appearances with the Red Sox in his first season in the majors. The 32-year-old left-hander received the Tony Conigliaro Award last season for overcoming alcohol abuse, injuries and a bicycling accident.
The award named for the former Boston outfielder honors a player who overcame adversity "through the attributes of spirit, determination, and courage that were trademarks of Tony C."
