SAN FRANCISCO — The Cubs announced they had signed 19 of their 20 draft picks as of Saturday afternoon. That included second-round pick Jackson Ferris, a left-hander out of IMG Academy in Florida, and fourth-rounder Nazier Mulé, a right-hander out of Passaic Tech High School in New Jersey.
Ferris and Mulé were the Cubs’ only picks in the first half of the draft who hadn’t yet put pen to paper. As expected, they both signed for over-slot bonuses. Ferris received a $3,005,000 signing bonus ($1,622,700 slot value) and Mulé a $1 million signing bonus ($538,600 slot value).
