Phils agree to terms with Schneider
The Phillies have agreed to terms with Brian Schneider to be their backup catcher, sources confirmed to SI.com. The deal is contingent on a physical.
The Mets, meanwhile, have a deal with ex-Phillie catcher Chris Coste and are likely to sign Henry Blanco, as well. Blanco would serve as the Mets' backup catcher with Coste likely going to Triple-A.
The Mets remain interested in Bengie Molina, who is a free agent, as a possible starting catcher.
The Allentown Morning Call first reported the Schneider deal.
