If Morel was all it took to get Soto (which is unlikely), then I'd say play "F**k the World Series" and make that trade now. I suspect it's more opinion from Levine than anything else.
If the Bears do their jobs correctly (and that is a big IF), it won't matter what GB does. I am more interested in seeing the Bears fixed their problems over worrying about what GB does.
If you look at the first 7 teams in ';23 draft, you could have made a case for rigging the draft for any of them. So this idea that the NHL rigged it for the Hawks is pretty out there even for salty fans.
Don't forget Boras is likely not going to get Bellinger signed till late January/early February. I doubt the Cubs want to wait that long for an answer on Bellinger.
