How much better is Joe De than the player he's replacing?

Maybe he doesn't help your team win many more games, but more that he helps you lose fewer games. Which (as you alluded to) isn't the same thing. He helps protect against disaster.

What's the contract situation for Joe De? And what's your team's financial situatuon? You said you expect to have low draft pics, so I assume this isn't this team's only chance to contend for a championship. How important is it to win this year versus winning in future years?

You said there have been multiple offers for Butler. Perhaps there's a deal for another starter that would also improve your rotation, but for multiple seasons (assuming Joe De is a pending free agent) lessening the trading the future for the present impact of this deal.
