2024 Fantasy Outlook
Farmer was Minnesota's primary utility infielder and got significant playing time at third base and second base due to injuries. He has decent power for a glove-first infielder (11 HR and .152 ISO) and doesn't strike out too often (his 23.3% K% was his second season more than 20%). He was a plus defender at second and third base and can still hold his own at shortstop. His lack of premium power and lower contact rate (74.4%) get him exposed in more than short-term duty. He should get significant playing time in a utility role again. Read Past Outlooks
Sitting after consecutive starts
Farmer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Farmer drew a rare start against a right-hander (Griffin Canning) in Tuesday's 10-5 win and came through with a big night, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and an additional run. Though the home run was his second in as many days and helped bring his OPS up to 1.471 in September, Farmer looks like he'll remain in a short-side platoon role for the Twins.

Stat Review
How does Kyle Farmer compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
Farmer worked as Cincinnati's primary shortstop for a second straight year and had a .255/.315/.386 slash line in 142 games last season. He's a solid infielder but profiles better as a utility option than a starter, and he'll now be filling the former role after he was traded to the Twins, especially with Carlos Correa back in the fold. Farmer has solid strikeout and walk rates (17 percent and 5.9 percent, respectively), but overall he provides a below-average bat and has a 91 wRC+ over the past two seasons. His opportunities could be more matchup oriented with Minnesota which could boost his rate stats with a higher concentration of at-bats against left-handed pitching, but Farmer doesn't offer much fantasy value as that potential upside is likely to diminish with more playing time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Offseason trade option
Farmer could be traded this offseason as the Twins look to reduce payroll, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Farmer is projected to earn around $6 million in 2024 in his final year of arbitration eligibility. He had a solid 2023 season in slashing .253/.314/.405 with 11 homers in 120 games while playing all over the infield, but Minnesota likely feels it could replace Farmer's production with a younger, cheaper option.
