"Never was this rebuild going to hedge on one guy," Rick Hahn says.

At fan Q&A, GM Rick Hahn reiterates what he said Friday. If #WhiteSox don’t land Machado/Harper, they’ll make another run at premier FAs next year

When asked what he’s happiest with this offseason, after a long pause, Hahn says “It’s not over yet.” #SoxFest2019

I knew he was all up on his phone last night for a reason. https://t.co/lbVDUldlgI

Thanks Daryl.

Can we win 80 games? fan asks. Renteria cites bullpen improvements, says it's possible. "But we have to play clean baseball."

Hahn adds, 'the win total we care about is 95." That's the goal down road we're striving for.

Hahn said everyone has limits when asked if they are ready to outbid everyone for premium free agents. Hahn said they expect to go down swinging if they don't convert. Prepared for this off-season.

Renteria said Moncada came to him wanting to hit at the top of the order

Hahn on main selling point to FAs: “We’re getting poised to go on a long-term run and you have a chance to be a part of something special.” #SoxFest2019

Can’t make it through SoxFest without someone mentioning Fernando Tatis Jr.

This year the honor goes to Rick Hahn himself.

Rick Hahn calls himself a “jackass” for trading Fernando Tatis Jr. #SoxFest2019

Ricky says he's keeping new look. Said he was told Chicago championships come to coaches with facial hair. pic.twitter.com/bAG40ZtQjt

Greedy fan: can we realistically sign both Harper and Machado?
"From a payroll management flexibility ... might not be strongest move going forward," Hahn says.

— Daryl Van Schouwen (@CST_soxvan) January 26, 2019

Hahn said Machado or Harper clearly won't be the last premium free agent they purse over time. So to try to add both moving forward is not the most financially feasible.

— Scott Merkin (@scottmerkin) January 26, 2019

Remembering this line from Rick Hahn from last night. I asked Rick Renteria where he'll bat Eloy Jimenez. Hahn interjected with "The offseason isn't over yet. There might be some other names in that lineup."

Seby Zavala thinks “kids running around” sounds like a “great time”

We do not have that in common.

— Free Agent Writer Cat Garcia (@TheBaseballGirl) January 26, 2019

Ballsy move.

OK, if Yoán's got the cojones to rock a SoxFest onesie, he can bat leadoff after a 217-K season. https://t.co/dC1OaQSLf0
