The Tampa Bay Rays have resigned veteran catcher Francisco Mejia to a minor league deal per a report from Marc Topkin.
The 28 year old catcher has Major League experience over the past seven seasons, spending the past three campaigns with the Rays. Originally signed by the Cleveland Guardians as an international free agent in 2012, Mejia quickly became one of the organization’s top prospects and one of the best catching prospects in all of baseball. Mejia established a new minor league hitting streak record with a 50 game run in 2016 and then peaked as a prospect prior to the 2018 season when he was ranked as the 20th best prospect entering the season.
