You've answered your own question there.
I think Byrd would waive it, which adds some risk but also would mitigate some of the pain from sending Bonifacio to Philadelphia (2.5 seasons is easier to stomach than 1.5).
I'm wondering what the Mariners are willing to give up for Butler. No clue, really. We've seen speculation about PB's favorite, Nick Franklin, before. But not sure if the Mariners place more stock in his struggles at MLB level or his AAA performance (former, they're probably willing to move him for Butler; latter, no way).
