Not sure how I feel about this. DeRosa is uber versatile, capable of playing 1B, 2B, 3B, LF and RF and he plays them well. He also puts up a nice .750 or so OPS, so he'd be a hell of a utility guy. But the Guardians are looking for young pitching. I certainly would not move Robertson or Melancon since both might be key parts of our bullpen as the season goes along. I might move a guy like Kontos for him. But at the same time, I think I'd hold onto him if a solid relief option came available like a Huston Street for example. If he came cheap, I would absolutely go for DeRosa.

This is old, but it makes little sense for me as well. I'd rather go after bullpen help. I doubt he'd go cheap.
