You gotta feel for Nick Madrigal because despite his underwhelming time with the Cubs the infielder obviously had setbacks with various injuries in Chicago and that’s been the biggest storyline in his career. Even when Madrigal was posting good results in his first two seasons with the White Sox he was derailed by season-ending injuries and now it appears as though he’s suffered the same fate with his new team.

Going into this off-season, a handful of players you can probably say with certainty are safe on the Chicago Bears roster. Caleb Williams, Darnell Wright, Rome Odunze, and D.J. Moore immediately jump out on offense. Most would assume tight end Cole Kmet is in that group as well. However, that might be slightly premature. Based on what we know of this new coaching staff led by Ben Johnson, the tight end is a position that features prominently in the passing game.

The Chicago Bears will seek help at multiple positions in free agency this year. While most of the focus is on the offensive line, many experts believe they will also seek an additional pass rusher to pair with Montez Sweat. This means GM Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson will lean on the expertise of new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen to determine which direction to take.

Trey Smith is off the board. While losing a chance to recruit the former Pro Bowl guard to the Chicago Bears is unfortunate, GM Ryan Poles can’t afford to waste time lamenting what could’ve been. He must start preparing alternatives. The Bears need offensive line help in the worst way. Free agency won’t solve their problems, but it must be utilized to accelerate the rebuild. There has to be a handful of options who can help.

The Chicago Bears were likely going to break the bank for only one name in free agency. Unfortunately, that name is no longer available. Former Pro Bowl right guard Trey Smith was franchise-tagged by the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday. That means he is staying with the team for at least one more year, though most experts believe this is a move meant to buy time until the two sides hammer out an extension. Either way, the Bears are out of luck.

Matt Eberflus had three key traits he wanted from players when he took over as head coach. They were pretty straightforward: They needed to be big (for their position), fast, and disciplined. GM Ryan Poles accommodated him as much as possible, which is how the Bears ended up with guys like Darnell Wright, Gervon Dexter, Tyrique Stevenson, and Rome Odunze, among others. Well, Eberflus is gone. That likely means the preferences are about to change under new head coach Ben Johnson.

The Blackhawks currently find themselves in the dog days of the season, with not a lot going right at the NHL level and the team seemingly counting the days until the campaign is over. But starting as early as next week, things could get a heck of a lot more interesting. Chicago should be right at the center of the trade deadline drama before March 7 and could potentially trade a big name like Seth Jones along with a handful of other pieces.
