DENVER — Infielder Kyle Farmer has secured a one-year contract with the Colorado Rockies that guarantees him $3.25 million, alongside the potential to earn an additional $1.25 million through performance bonuses based on his plate appearances in the upcoming season.

As part of the agreement, Farmer will receive a salary of $2.5 million for the next season. This contract also includes a mutual option for the 2026 season valued at $4 million, which would require a buyout of $750,000 if not exercised.

Farmer’s performance incentives are structured to reward his participation at the plate. He will earn $125,000 upon reaching 200 and 350 plate appearances, and $150,000 for hitting the milestones of 400 and 450 plate appearances. There are additional bonuses, including $200,000 for 500 plate appearances and $500,000 at 550 plate appearances.

The announcement of Farmer’s contract follows the Rockies’ decision not to extend a contract offer for 2025 to Brendan Rodgers, turning the former first-round draft pick into a free agent.

Last season, Farmer played in 107 games for the Minnesota Twins, where he recorded a batting average of .214, hitting five home runs and driving in 25 runs. Over his eight-year career, the 34-year-old has maintained a career batting average of .250 with 55 home runs and 254 RBIs, showcasing his experience with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds, and the Minnesota Twins.

Originally drafted in the eighth round by the Dodgers in 2013 from the University of Georgia, Farmer made his Major League Baseball debut on July 30, 2017, and impressively went 1 for 1, contributing two RBIs against the San Francisco Giants.
