CHICAGO, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Pitchers Andy Sonnanstine and Manny Corpas have signed non-guaranteed split contracts with the Chicago Cubs, the team announced Monday.

Sonnanstine, a five-year veteran of the Tampa Bay Rays, was used mostly as a reliever the past two seasons. He made 15 appearances, including four starts, in 2011, posting an 0-2 record with a 5.55 ERA.
