The Cubs have been really busy the past two days. They first agree to trade Marquis, then sign Aaron Miles and now this! The article says DeRosa might play third but I still think they will move Peralta to third, Cabrera to SS and have DeRosa play second. The Indians were one of the best teams in baseball during the second half of last season. DeRosa and the addition of Kerry Wood will help make them a contender in '09.Mark DeRosa, who had been rumored to be a part of three- and four-team scenarios in the Jake Peavy trade talks is finally headed out of Chicago -- but not in a deal for the San Diego Padres' ace.
DeRosa has been traded to the Cleveland Indians for three players.
The Indians sent minor league pitchers Jeff Stevens, Chris Archer and John Caub to Chicago in the trade.
The 33-year-old DeRosa may slide into Cleveland's opening at third base.
DeRosa hit 21 home runs and drove in 87 runs for the Cubs last season, appearing in 149 games at a variety of positions.
