After previously announcing they’d signed 10 of their 20 picks from the recent MLB Draft, the Cubs have added nine more to the list. The only remaining unsigned draftee is righty Ben Johnson out of Georgia Southern University. That name carries a little more meaning with the Olympics about to start, so maybe the Cubs can pivot to Carl Lewis if Johnson doesn’t sign.
I have to imagine the 512th overall pick will agree to terms fairly soon, as he was something of a sleeper who may have big upside if he can iron a few things out.
