Latest Fantasy Rumors
Staying with Reds
Cincinnati general manager Nick Krall said the team plans to keep Farmer, reports Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
ANALYSIS
Farmer produced a 3.83 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 2.16 K/BB in 47 innings for the Reds, collecting two saves. The 31-year-old will go through the arbitration process for the final time this offseason but should still have a relatively affordable contract. Cincinnati chose to keep him on the 40-man roster rather than protect a younger player from the Rule 5 Draft.

2015
2013
In terms of run prevention, Farmer was one of the Tigers' five best relievers in 2020, but he does not check out so well under the hood. The right-hander lost close to two miles per hour off his four-seam fastball, leaving the gulf between that pitch and his changeup at just about five mph. As a result, Farmer's strikeout rate crashed from 25.3% in 2019 to just 15.7% last season. He made a brief trip to the IL in August with a groin injury but was believed to be healthy otherwise. Farmer deserves credit for limiting the traffic on the basepaths with a 5.6 BB% and keeping the ball on the ground (52.2 GB%), but if he hasn't regained something on his stuff after an offseason of rest, statistical regression is inevitable. All that contact could catch up to him in a hurry.
