That's what we needed to do to put our offer ahead of all the other offers that were out there. That, and make it 2 years earlier than theirs.

Even if someone claimed him by accident, he'd block the move
Hitting the wire today from the Phillies were Marlon Byrd, Jonathan Papelbon, Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, Cole Hamels, and Carlos Ruiz, Rosenthal tweets. They will be on waivers until Wednesday.
The Phillies placed Antonio Bastardo, A.J. Burnett, Roberto Hernandez, Ryan Howard and Kyle Kendrick on revocable waivers, FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal reports (via Twitter). The moves all took place on Saturday, so since the waiver period lasts 47 hours, we could know by today if any of the players were claimed. I’d expect Bastardo and Burnett to be claimed given that both drew significant interest before the July 31st deadline, and there is virtually no chance any team would claim Howard and risk being stuck with the roughly $68MM remaining on his contract.

That's not what he told Papelbon, though

He basically said to me that he's devoted to our fans and he's devoted to put a winning product out there -- that we're not going to be here to rebuild this organization, that we're going to reload. For me, that was pretty much the say-all to get me to understand that "Hey, listen, I know that we're not winning, and hey look, we're going to turn these things around and continue to do everything we can to put a winning product out there on the field."
