Infielder Kyle Farmer has secured a $3.25 million guaranteed amount in his one-year contract with the Colorado Rockies, along with the chance to earn up to $1.25 million in performance bonuses based on his plate appearances next season.
Farmer will earn a salary of $2.5 million for the upcoming season as part of the deal announced on Saturday. The contract also includes a mutual option for 2026 worth $4 million, which can be bought out for $750,000.
Farmer has the opportunity to earn bonuses for plate appearances in 2025. He would get $125,000 each for reaching 200 and 350 plate appearances, $150,000 for 400 and 450, $200,000 for 500, and $500,000 for 550.
This announcement came a day after the Rockies decided not to offer a contract to Brendan Rodgers for 2025, making him a free agent.
Last season, Farmer played 107 games with the Minnesota Twins, hitting .214 with five home runs and 25 RBIs. Over his eight seasons in the majors, Farmer has a .250 batting average, with 55 home runs and 254 RBIs. He has played for the Los Angeles Dodgers (2017-18), Cincinnati Reds (2019-22), and the Twins.
Farmer was drafted by the Dodgers in the eighth round of the 2013 MLB Draft from the University of Georgia and made his MLB debut on July 30, 2017, going 1-for-1 with 2 RBIs against the San Francisco Giants.
