12/29/23 | Reds sign reliever Farmer to $2.25 million, 1-year contract. Sports Reds sign reliever Farmer to $2.25 million, 1-year contract By Associated Press - December 29, 2023 Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds brought back Buck Farmer on Thursday, signing the reliever to a $2.25 million, one-year contract. Farmer became a free agent after he went 4-5 with three saves and a 4.20 ERA in 71 appearances for Cincinnati this year. The right-hander had a 2-2 record with two saves and a 3.83 ERA in 44 games in 2022, his first season with the Reds.

12/28/23 | Cincinnati Reds bring back Buck Farmer on a guaranteed 1-year deal. The Cincinnati Reds are in agreement with free agent reliever Buck Farmer on a 1-year contract that's expected to earn him some $2.25 million for the 2024 season. The Reds announced the move on Twitter on Thursday morning, with MLB.com's Mark Sheldon providing context with the salary expectations. 432 Major League Baseball players made $2.25 million or more during the 2023 season, and that's probably just about what Buck Farmer deserves as a veteran big leaguer, so long as your expectations for him are in check. Just because the Reds spent actual money on him shouldn't vault him up the depth chart, in other words - slotting him in as a dependable, mid-bullpen guy who'll get some 7th inning work routinely is precisely what he should get given how normal, good bullpens set themselves up.
