UDFA Signings:
RHP Jesse Ginley (drafted in the 43rd round by the Cubs in 2008)
LHP Daley Cox, Santa Fe CC (FL)<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Like Dail, Pruitt signed and had his contract voided. Both are now FA. No details out yet. However, since the Cubs had contract issues last year and were fined a big chunk of $, I wouldn't be surprised if this was an administrative error on their part. In the case of Dail, it could have to do with an old injury and a failed physical - but I'm going to bet the front office is 2 for 2 in terms of messing up a contract.
