The Cubs also announced the signing of Manny Corpas on Monday. Terms of the deal were not released but it is also believed to be a non-guaranteed, split contract for 2012. Andy Sonnanstine owns a career mark of 28-31 with a 5.26 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP in 132 games over five big league seasons. Sonnanstine has pitched in 132 games, 80 as a starter and could be used as a swingman if he makes the club out of Spring Training.
