Braves Bring In Veteran Infielder Kyle Farmer on Minor-League Deal With Spring Invite

He enters a competition for infield depth created by Ha-Seong Kim’s finger surgery.

Overview

  • MLB.com's Mark Bowman reported that Farmer, 35, will attend Braves camp as a non-roster invitee on a minor-league contract.
  • The Braves’ non-roster list grew from 24 to 25 players with Farmer’s addition ahead of spring training.
  • Bowman suggested Farmer could be a fit for an Opening Day spot, with Jorge Mateo as a fellow backup infield option and Mauricio Dubón potentially shifting to left field in certain matchups.
  • Farmer appeared in 97 games for the Rockies in 2025, hitting .227/.280/.365 with eight home runs, and posting a -1.0 fWAR and -5 Outs Above Average.
  • The nine-year veteran has played across the infield with some past catching experience and would join his fifth MLB organization if he makes the roster.
