Two clubs with championship hopes increased their hitting depth. The Padres acquired Mitch Moreland from the Red Sox:

In exchange, the Red Sox acquired a pair of prospects from San Diego, outfielder Jeisson Rosario and infielder Hudson Potts.

Moreland adds even more power to an already explosive San Diego lineup.

Moreland gives the Padres a solid designated hitter who can spell Hosmer at first base and various outfielders. Rosario is just seasonal age 20 and posted a .372 OBP at A+ ball last season. Potts is a year older, played well at the A level, but not so much at AA. He could be a useful utility infielder.

The Cubs also went for a hitter, getting Jose Martinez from the Rays for two players to be determined:

The Cubs get a right-handed hitter who mashes lefties in Martinez, while the Rays now may get to give more at-bats to outfielder Randy Arozarena, whom they acquired with Martinez in a trade this offseason.

Given Arozarena’s outstanding minor league history, it’s amazing he hasn’t had more time in the majors yet. He’s seasonal age 25, right at the start of his prime. Martinez was not hitting that well for them, they think they have someone younger and better, and also may get a couple of prospects. Tampa Bay, no matter the current status of the team, always thinks about what comes next.
