-Allen Iverson has accepted a one year non-guaranteed contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. Iverson, who departed under questionable circumstances, will be making the veterans minimum at $1.3 million. He was signed to replace the injured Lou Williams who could be out for up to eight weeks.
-Pending a physical, Billy Wagner is back in the National League East. After being offered arbitration by the Boston Red Sox, Wagner’s contract is reported to be $7 million in 2010 and will include a $6.5 million vesting option for 2011. Last season he posted a 1.72 ERA while striking out 26 in just 15 2/3 innings for the Mets and the Red Sox.
-The Phillies signed former New York Met, Brian Schneider to be their back-up catcher for next season. The two year deal will be $1.25 million in 2010 and $1.5 million in 2011. Schneider hit .218 in 174 plate appearances last season. In addition to this, the Phil’s did not offer arbitration to Scott Eyre or Chan Ho Park. Ruben Amaro Jr., the Phillies General Manager, said that he has not ruled out the possibility of bringing either player back next season.
-DeSean Jackson will most likely not be ready to play next Sunday as the Eagles take on the Matt Ryan-less Atlanta Falcons. It has come to light (after Jackson addressed the press) that Jackson lost consciousness after being hit by Washington’s London Fletcher.
