Outside of name value, it's not that steep of a drop in talent. Using Marcels/Chone:
| Player | BAT | FLD | WAR |
| Wilson | -0.8 | 0.7 | 2.9 |
| Everett | -2.5 | 1.9 | 2.4 |
Adjust those numbers as you see fit. Wilson's price tag is slightly more than six million dollars higher and would cost additional young talent via trade (Matt Joyce was rumored.) Not a bad day for the Tigers, acquiring a starting catcher and shortstop while spending less than five million.
