It’s now been announced that Farmer has re-signed with the Braves on a Minor League deal.

Looking At Farmer

Farmer was picked in the 8th round of the 2013 MLB Draft (out of Georgia) by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
After part of two seasons with the Dodgers, he went on to have a four-year run with the Cincinnati Reds.
The 35-year-old then had stops with the Minnesota Twins and Colorado Rockies (before the Braves).

Over 816 career games (and 10 seasons), Farmer is batting .247 with 541 hits, 63 home runs, 288 RBIs, 247 runs and 16 stolen bases.
He is a nice addition to the Braves’ organization for depth.
