"Meza's debut season didn't go well, playing 28 games with the Jays' Dominican Summer League team and slashing .229/267/.292 with no home runs in 101 plate appearances for a 57 wRC+. The catcher still ranked as MLB Pipeline's 30th-best prospect in 2023, but that season was also rough for Meza, as he slashed .192/.276/.212 with no home runs in 59 plate appearances for a 42 wRC+. Not great for his first season stateside."
"The 2024 season was Meza's best in the Jays' system, as he slashed .274/.361/.290 with no home runs and a double in 72 plate appearances, or 24 games. In 2024, he finished with a 92 wRC+, which was easily his best season. Unfortunately, Meza regressed in 2025, slashing just .186/.280/.209 in 50 plate appearances, in what was his third season with the Blue Jays' Florida Complex League team. Once again, he failed to hit a home run and had a 54 wRC+."
Toronto Blue Jays released multiple minor-league prospects ahead of the 2026 International Free Agency period, including Cesar Meza, Justin Kelly, Christian Mracna, JJ Sanchez, Peyton Powell, Brett Garcia, and Grif Hughes. Meza showed limited offensive production across seasons: a DSL debut at .229/.267/.292 (57 wRC+), a rough 2023 at .192/.276/.212 (42 wRC+), a 2024 improvement to .274/.361/.290 (92 wRC+), and a 2025 regression to .186/.280/.209 (54 wRC+), with no home runs. Other departures included Kelly after five seasons, Mracna after 13.1 innings, Sanchez with solid ERAs but mixed FIP numbers, Powell with one home run in 288 plate appearances, Garcia with strong strikeout metrics, and Hughes with a 5.84 ERA.
