Kade Snell Signs with Chicago Cubs: Roll Call
Former Alabama team captain Kade Snell signed with the Chicago Cubs for $200,000, according to Baseball America's Carlos Collazo.
Snell inked his under-slot deal Saturday.
He was chosen last week with the 151st overall MLB Draft selection.
The pick's slot value was $465,400.
The Crimson Tide's starting left fielder parlayed a career year into hearing his name called during the draft's fifth round.
The former Auburn pitcher, who was cut by the Tigers, played as a pitcher and designated hitter during his first season with Alabama in 2024.
He hit .363 this season.
Snell and teammate Braylon Myers have now signed contracts with the Cubs.
