White Sox Acquire Left-Hander Chris Murphy in Trade with Red Sox

The Chicago White Sox acquired left-handed pitcher Chris Murphy from the Boston Red Sox in a trade on November 19, 2025. Murphy, 27, posted a 3-0 record with a 3.12 ERA in 23 relief appearances for the Red Sox this year, alongside a 1-0 record and 2.93 ERA in 18 minor league appearances. A sixth-round pick in 2019, Murphy missed the entire 2024 season recovering from Tommy John surgery. In exchange, Boston received minor league catcher Ronny Hernández, who hit .251 with four homers and 34 RBIs in Class A Kannapolis this year.
