now and in the future, we’re aggressively trying to get it done.”

Over the past week, the Sox acquired pitcher Anthony Ranaudo from Texas and outfielder Jason Bourgeois from Arizona. Both players were sent to Class AAA Charlotte.

While Hahn didn’t want to discuss the matter, the White Sox also were rumored to be one of three teams in the hunt for free-agent starter Tim Lincecum, who reportedly is signing with the Los Angeles Angels.

“We are looking at every possible avenue — whether it’s free agent or trade or waiver or whatever — to find added options for us as we go through this summer,” Hahn said.

While they could use a reliable left-handed bat and possibly some relief help, the White Sox are more likely looking to add another starting pitcher or two.

Current No. 5 starter Miguel Gonzalez does not have a decision in 3 starts with the Sox after being claimed off waivers from Baltimore in early April, but the 31-year-old righty has allowed 9 earned runs on 19 hits and 10 walks in 15? innings.

Mat Latos, who starts tonight against Houston, is 5-0, but he has yielded 13 earned runs on 25 hits and 8 walks in 15? innings over his last 3 starts.

The Sox undoubtedly would have to trade some minor-league prospects if they want to strengthen the rotation at some point, and that sounds OK with Hahn.

“We want to put ourselves in the best position to win in October,” Hahn said. “First to get to October and then to win deep in October. “Frankly, the only championship they are giving out this year is the 2016 championship, so that’s what our focus is going to be in terms of maximizing this unit’s chances.

“That doesn’t mean we are going to be shortsighted or do something in our mind that significantly compromises ourselves going forward.

“But when the chance to win comes along, you need to do everything in your power to maximize that opportunity and feed the guys in this clubhouse, the coaches and players alike. We want to do what we can from a front-office standpoint to continue that momentum, to reinforce where they have put themselves and, again, maximize our chances to win in October.”

When would Hahn like the feeding frenzy to begin?

“We are prepared to make a big move today if it presents itself,” he said. “Unfortunately, our timing might not line up with the other 29 clubs just yet. It’s still early in the process.

“A lot of clubs don’t look to make those moves until June or July, but we are having dialogue right now hoping something comes together more quickly than that.”
