DeRosa To Tribe?

Multiple sources are reporting that the Indians have completed a deal for Cubs jack-of-all-trades (but mostly 2nd baseman) Mark DeRosa. In exchange, the Tribe is reportedly set to deal minor league pitchers Jeff Stevens, Chris Archer, and John Gaub.

Last year DeRosa hit .285 for the Cubs with 21 HR, 87 RBI, an OBP of .376, and a .481 slugging percentage.

We'll have more on this story once it has been confirmed but the initial reaction among the CMCR staff is overwhelmingly positive.
