Fort Myers, Fla. — Kayla Farmer saw the tweet.

It said, definitively, that her husband Buck was out of minor-league options. That fact, as it turns out, was as much a source of confusion for Farmer as it was for the media.

“My wife saw the tweet and told me, ‘You better get this squared away,’” said Farmer, the Tigers right-hander who is fighting to retain his spot in the Tigers’ bullpen.

Correcting myself. Buck Farmer is out of minor-league options. He had a fourth-year option last year, didn't use it, so I incorrectly assumed he still had it.
