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
Retreating to bench role Sunday
Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
ANALYSIS
Farmer started at second base in Saturday's 5-2 loss, but he'll be back on the bench for the series finale. While Minnesota is at full strength in the infield save for Royce Lewis (quadricep), Farmer will likely be relegated to a short-side platoon role at second base with the lefty-hitting Edouard Julien, who is back in the lineup Sunday.

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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
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.
