Yes, we have to assume they have some use for the international signing money. At least, they got something for Pinto.
I am disappointed that they could get nothing for Rupp but I do believe they tried to make a deal since last October. I would have liked to get more than money back for Joseph as well, but again, there was clearly little interest in giving up much for him from any other team. Regardless, both Rupp and Joseph were not in the plans moving forward and the Phillies needed their roster spaces.
