The Reds signed Farmer to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer will report to the Arizona Complex League for now before eventually moving up to Triple-A Louisville, assuming all goes well. The veteran reliever has spent all of the 2025 season in the minors, posting an 8.64 ERA and 18:11 K:BB over 16.2 frames. Farmer was one of the Reds' most dependable relievers from 2022-to-2024, holding a 3.68 ERA and 194:83 K:BB across 193 innings.

The Angels signed Farmer to a minor-league contract Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer was released by Atlanta last month after allowing five runs (four earned) with a 7:4 K:BB over 4.2 innings with Triple-A Gwinnett. He'll be assigned to the Angels' Arizona Complex League affiliate for now but should move up to Triple-A Salt Lake soon.

Atlanta released Farmer on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer was roughed up for five runs (four earned) with a 7:4 K:BB over 4.2 innings with Triple-A Gwinnett. The 34-year-old shouldn't have trouble landing another minor-league contract elsewhere.

Atlanta reassigned Farmer to minor-league camp Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander joined the club as a non-roster invitee in February and appeared to have a good chance of making the Opening Day roster, but his four runs allowed and 8:4 K:BB over 5.2 spring innings apparently wasn't enough to warrant a roster spot. Assuming Farmer doesn't receive big-league interest elsewhere, he'll likely begin the campaign at Triple-A Gwinnett.

Farmer has joined Atlanta's spring training camp as a non-roster invitee, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer appeared in 61 games, including one start, with the Reds in 2024, posting a 3.04 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with 70 strikeouts over 71.0 innings. He'll now get a chance to prove himself with Atlanta ahead of the 2025 season.

Farmer picked up the save Sunday against the Cubs, walking one batter with no strikeouts across a scoreless 10th inning.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer finally logged his first save of 2024, taking the mound in the 10th inning to close out the Reds regular-season finale. He'll finish the campaign with a 3.04 ERA and a 70:29 K:BB across 71 innings.

Farmer did not factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Pirates, striking out two over two perfect innings.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer was tasked with opening the game after Andrew Abbott (shoulder) was placed on the injured list and retired all six batters he faced on 27 pitches. While the 33-year-old has not exceeded two innings in any outing this season, he owns an impressive 2.58 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB across 59.1 innings.

Farmer will start Friday's game against the Pirates, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer is tabbed as the official starter, but he has completed no more than two innings in any appearance this season. That said, he'll almost certainly serve as an opener, with Andrew Abbott the leading candidate to throw in bulk behind him.

Farmer allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out one over 1.2 innings in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer entered in the middle of the seventh inning after Brent Suter gave up a grand slam to Bryce Harper. Farmer was touched for a home run, too, a solo shot by Brandon Marsh. This was the reliever's second appearance, and he's allowed home runs in each.

Farmer allowed four runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two over one inning in Thursday's spring game against Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer cruised through his first five Cactus League outings -- no runs or walks allowed and five strikeouts over five innings -- before the Rangers hung a four-spot on him in the fourth inning, courtesy of a Wyatt Langford grand slam. Farmer is expected to return as an important piece of the bullpen for Cincinnati, working as a bridge to closer Alexis Diaz.
