Amidst the new class of undrafted free agents, the Chicago Cubs have signed a high schooler who received buzz from many major league teams.
It has been a strange year for baseball on all fronts. The ping pong match that has ultimately resulted from strained negotiations with the club owners and the Players Association stacked on top of a national pandemic has kept the sport from starting and capped all teams, including the Cubs, to five rounds in this year’s draft.
Those guys who did not receive the call could choose to sign with interested clubs for a maximum amount of $20,000.
