I think there are some of the large market teams who would cough up up $8-$10 million on a one year flyer to see if Wood can bounce back. And they may tag a second year team option for $12 million if he pans out. If the Reds can get him cheaper, then great. But I would concentrate on locking up/extending Castillo, and possibly seeing if they can lock Bauer in for another season (see if he is serious about the one-year deals).

I don’t suppose you could pay him by the game ... have him clock in and out.
Sheldon says it would "probably" be a minor league deal. Sign me up if that's true (and he's healthy), but not holding my breath.

I'd say the chances of Wood having to settle for a minor league deal are slim and none. He'll get several million and a guaranteed rotation spot from somebody.

I agree with Servo. He'll get a major league deal from someone. The question is the $$. I'd give him $3-5 mill. If it works, we get a real good starter to round out the rotation for pretty cheap. If not, 3-5 milion won't kill us. A club option without a buyout for 2021 would be icing on the cake.
