Doesn't make roster
The Rays informed Mejia on Friday that he won't be included on the Opening Day roster, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Mejia was signed in late February and was competing for the backup catcher job. He made plenty of contact across 16 plate appearances in Grapefruit League action, though he didn't make enough of an impression to secure a roster spot.

Mejia has never seen a pitch he has not liked and it has taken many liberties trying to write checks that his bat cannot cash at the plate. For all his hitting pedigree coming up through the minor leagues, he has been a below-average offensive catcher who hunts for fastballs early and often, and the approach left him quite succeptible to offspeed stuff this past season. The switch hitting catcher hits for average from the right side and the homers come from the left at the cost of aggressive swinging and contact issues. If he could give up on hitting homers and use the approach he has had from the right side of the plate, he could be something. Instead, he has shown little signs of changing and while the free agency status of Mike Zunino opens up a chance, the late season acquisition of Christian Bethancourt is a big roadblock as the latter is the better defender and his bat has more upside in it assuming the club does not make another move at catcher this winter.
