It is possible some team will not apply much of a discount at this years deadline. In which case the Tigres should accept the offer.

I would price Boyd as a 2.5-3.0 WAR pitcher right now. Probably closer to 2.5.
The question is, could AA get he and Greene with the right "spare parts" (if Wright or Wilson could be considered that way) - or would he be better off trying to get Stroman/Giles and maybe go after Smith?
