The Cubs announced the signing of nine more draft picks, which includes every unsigned draft pick except 19th-round pick infielder Caleb Barnett, who has said that he still intends to attend Alabama in the fall.
If you want to start the tongues wagging, Jaxson Wiggins was scratched from his start for the Smokies tonight. No reason was given, although the Cubs have been trying to manage his workload, so it may not be trade or injury-related. But last-minute scratches at this time of year are always subject to wild speculation.
