Eh, there is one MAJOR difference here. ONLY the Bears had access to the #1 pick. Literally anyone could have negotiated with and made offers to Johnson. The had to beat out the rest of the NFL to get him. They didn't need to do that with Caleb.
Law said pretty much this.

The Sox aren't going to be in the business of giving up draft picks (or even worse multiple picks for multiple players) especially in pursuit of red flag hitters after a 41 win season.
So wait, the Bears interviewed 17 people for a leadership position and then hired and paid the most qualified person for the job? Is that legal?

BS. The Cubs have somewhere around double the Sox revenue on paper, plus they took over the whole neighborhood. They should be the Dodgers. They are damned liars.
I will give you one thing, your classmates could learn a lot from your water carrying work ethic. Maybe they too could spend days defending the undefendable.
