Booser, esteemed for his perseverance and dubbed the 2024 Tony Conigliaro Award winner, steps into the White Sox bullpen with a seasoned mix of maturity and milestone achievements. In his Major League debut season at age 32, he posted a 3.38 ERA across 43 appearances. His story is one of relentless pursuit and eventual triumph, emphasizing a determination that resonates well beyond the mound.

On the other hand, despite a commendable effort in 2024, Corey Julks struggled to leave a mark, hitting just .214 with three home runs over 66 games. This move underscores an evident White Sox strategy this offseason: focusing on retooling their bullpen while reassessing outfield dynamics with the recent acquisitions of Austin Slater and Mike Tauchman.
