UNDATED (AP) – The Padres have made more moves to demonstrate they are prepared to challenge for a playoff berth if not an NL West title.  The Padres have picked up slugger Mitch Moreland from the Red Sox for a pair of prospects: outfielder Jeisson Rosario and infielder Hudson Potts. The Padres are making one move after another in pursuit of their first playoff appearance in 14 years. They bolstered their bullpen on Saturday by acquiring Trevor Rosenthal in a trade with the Royals.  Seattle and San Diego completed a seven-player trade Sunday night, with catcher Austin Nola joining the contending Padres and prized outfield prospect Taylor Trammel going to the Mariners.  The Padres also get right-handed relievers Austin Adams and Dan Altavilla and send Trammell, infielder Ty France, catcher Luis Torres and reliever Andres Munoz to Seattle.
