Keuchel and LeMahieu and call it an offseason? I cant imagine anyone give DJ more than 13 mil a year. 3/36 for DJ and 4/80 for Dallas? 5/100 for Keuchel at the top end? Or do we go after Marwin Gonzalez?
If they have the money, then Keuchel and LeMahieu for $32MM AAV is pretty good.  Miley and Roark are interchangeable, I/M/O, but Miley should have his price knocked down after his start of the year with the O's. 

Also, does this salary dump potentially open up something bigger with the D'backs for either Greinke or Ray?  Arizona may not have been willing to take back Roark's salary (only 1 year of control, $10MM), but now that we found a taker, perhaps we can agree to take on more of Greinke's salary if it means even lesser prospects going to AZ.  If they take on $5MM, then losing Roark and getting Greinke only nets us a $20MM hit next year.

Rather than chasing Miley, another way to play this would be to sign some starters who are left over in February.  Lot's of options.
