Say, Jason Adam and Fred Ford.
Then, the money is the only issue. You're on the hook for $12.5 million in 2014.
Unless Glass is willing to up the payroll, that probably takes away the possibility of signing anything but a mid-tier starting pitcher in free agency (probably puts a cap of about $6-8 million on what they can spend in FA on pitching).

Yeah, I just don't know if you're going to get enough production from Rios to justify essentially being inactive in FA because of salary concerns. Personally, I highly doubt it.
This would be a classic DM disaster move, IMO.
