Friday was the deadline for teams to sign their picks from the 2018 MLB Draft, and the Cubs announced that they have signed 32 of their 42 draft picks including all of their top 20 picks.
The Cubs had previously announced the signing of 27 picks, but five more signed on the final few days of the signing period. They are:
Fifth-round pick Andy Weber, 2B, Virginia. (Reportedly for a $400,000 bonus)
Sixteenth-round pick Josh Sawyer, LHP, Texas.
Seventeenth-round pick Jake Reindl, RHP, Arkansas.
Twenty-seventh-round pick Niels Stone, RHP, Indian River State College (FL)
Thirty-fifth-round pick Edmond Americaan, OF, Chipola JC (FL)
Americaan was considered a reasonably-tough sign as he had been drafted in the previous two seasons and did not sign either time.
