Padres general manager Jed Hoyer says the team will be a buyer rather than a seller at this month's trade deadline. "I would strongly like to make a move," Hoyer said Friday. "Not a cosmetic change; I'd like to make a move that makes the team better. I think we've had a great first half but there's areas to improve and areas to add insurance. I think we can do that in the next 15 days. "I won't say 'definitely,' but I certainly want to make a move for the clubhouse and make the team better."
