James Russell leaving

According to the Statesman, James Russell has signed with the Cubs and will not be back. He's getting a $350K signing bonus and the Cubs will pay for 5 semesters of college. That bonus is quite a bit higher (by more than $250K, I'm guessing) than the slot guidelines set by MLB.

That makes me a lot more nervous about Kyle Russell. I'm fairly certain that Bradley Suttle will be signing with the Yankees. For quite a bit more than the $350K James scored.
