Cam Booser, White Sox: The 33-year-old lefty reliever has a 5.11 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, seven holds, one save, a .223 batting average against, 27 strikeouts and 14 walks in 30 outings (24 ⅔ innings). The White Sox demoted him to Triple-A Charlotte on July 13. Boston traded Booser to Chicago on Dec. 21 for 18-year-old minor leaguer Yhoiker Fajardo.

The Boston Red Sox ended the first half of the season on a high note. They are in a position to be buyers, but that does not mean they will not entertain trading some of their own stars to get better.
