I was watching Daily News Live and they speculated something along these lines. Howard, Utley, Werth, Ibanez, Rollins have a window of about the next 3 years together. The thinking was that Lee was simply going to be too expensive past this year and the Phils wouldn't be able to 6-8 years at 20+ million a year. So they ship him off, lock up Roy Halladay for the next 3 years which fits nicely with the rest of their current contracts and hope for a nice run in the couple years. Sounds reasonable, but the games are played on the field not on paper.

At least they are not sitting idle. They are trying to stay atop and get back there again next year. That's all you can ask for.
