After failing to re-sign him during the off-season, the Mariners reacquire DH Kendrys Morales from Minnesota in return for P Stephen Pryor. Morales had to wait until after the 2014 amateur draft in June to find a team, as none was willing to both meet his financial demands and give up a draft pick in order to sign him. In other deals, the Yankees purchase veteran P Chris Capuano from Colorado while the A’s designate struggling former closer Jim Johnson for assignment.
