Looking at PitchFx, it looks like his velocity is not an issue, but his curve is getting hit much harder (fewer swings and misses). That's a location/command issue, most likely.
His value isn't as high as it might have been in the offseason, but he'd still have good value for a lot of teams.
Adams, I'm less sure about that... would probably need to find an AL team to trade with, in all likelihood. I don't think value will ever be as high as it was last offseason (would have been a good time to trade him, honestly).

Miller's issue isn't his stuff or anything physical. It's between his ears. For a few starts this year, he became a one-pitch guy and wouldn't get away from his fastball to the point that he had to get his ass chewed by Yadi, Matheny and Lilliquiest in one single start because he kept shaking off Yadi (a terrible idea).
