The Braves have signed Buck Farmer to a minor league deal ahead of spring training, inviting him to the big league camp. This move symbolizes a homecoming for Farmer, a Georgia native and former Georgia Tech player. After enjoying his best season in 2024 with a 3.04 ERA over 71 innings, he showed durability. Farmer has solid overall statistics but lacks standout secondary metrics, which may have led to the minor league contract. He's among several veterans vying for a spot in a competitive Braves bullpen this season, including other experienced pitchers.
