Braves Sign Released 10-Year MLB Player
Earlier this month, the Braves released Kyle Farmer.
They wrote (via X) on July 21: “The #Braves today reinstated OF Mike Yastrzemski from the injured list and released INF Kyle Farmer from the roster.”
It’s now been announced that Farmer has re-signed with the Braves on a Minor League deal.
MLB.com wrote (on July 27): “Atlanta Braves signed free agent DH Kyle Farmer to a minor league contract.”
Farmer is in the middle of his first season with Atlanta.
Before getting released, he had been batting .267 with four hits, three RBIs and two runs in 12 games.
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.
Looking At The Braves Right Now
The Braves are currently at the top of the National League East with a 62-44 record in 106 games.
They have gone 6-4 over their last ten games (and are 30-24 in 54 games on the road).
After their series in New York, the Braves will return home to host the Washington Nationals on Thursday at Truist Park.
