It was the trade that sent him looking at F/A.
As for Terpko, Goosen and Martin, I believe all were minor leaguers.
Dylan gave a great scenario but this didn't affect play as the trades were in Nov and the very start of the season.
A guess at what could have happened is when all 3 Minor leaguers were traded the teams couldn't agree on which 2 the Senators would get. So they made a deal that during Spring Training the players would be watched and the one least valuable to Phillies would go back to the Washington.
So in this scenario Terpko may have been the one that didn't make the roster so he was sent back.
Trades like this for minor leaguers used to happen a lot before the Rule 5 draft. Teams couldn't decide on exactly what minor leaguer they wanted so they'd take 2-3 and make the decision and then send the other back.
