Caleb Williams is going to have a tough life with Ben Johnson as coach of the Chicago Bears, according to sports writer Ian Rapoport.

The White Sox face intense competition for roster spots this spring, with every infield position up for grabs—except for Andrew Vaughn’s hold on first base. Among the key position battles, Lenyn Sosa and Miguel Vargas will play pivotal roles in shaping the 26-man roster for Opening Day.

2 months ago | sportsmockery.com | Craig Rowland |Ben Johnson

Over the past two years, Chris Getz has shown that he isn’t afraid to have a ton of guys in camp, especially from outside of the organization. When most starting spots for the team aren’t set in stone, it can create an intense Spring Training competition, which is great to push the young prospects in the organization. During the last rebuild it felt like most of the prospects were given a spot on the roster with little competition, so it is best to change that now.

Defenseman Seth Jones, who has been a polarizing player during his time with the Blackhawks, makes a whole $4 million per year more than Tyler Bertuzzi, the next-highest mark. It’s no secret that Jones’ contract is one of the worst in the NHL when it comes to Chicago’s bang for its buck.

He declined the Arizona Cardinals job last year and was a finalist for the Tennessee job last month. He didn’t get it, leading most to believe he’d be back in Chicago for another season. That took a turn when the Jacksonville Jaguars unexpectedly fired GM Trent Baalke.

Jim McMahon was the last quarterback to win a championship for the Chicago Bears in 1985. Since then, the organization has been looking for the next guy with the talent, leadership, and charisma to accomplish the same. They hope Caleb Williams is that guy. One thing is for sure. He seems to have some of McMahon’s mischievous personality. Both are known for having some outlandish fashion sense.
