There's a time and place for everything. The time and place is here and now to consider maximizing any and all assets that you don't see as viable pieces for when you're a contender again.
Unless you overpay for Stroman he's not going to re-sign here to be part of this rebuild. As for Giles, he's been exceptional...and I wouldn't be opposed to keeping him, but a closer is not what you build around. Maximize his value while it's high...if you can get a strong return, but don't give him away.
