NORTH PORT, Fla. — Infielders Kyle Farmer<\/a> and Dominic Smith<\/a> have made the Atlanta Braves<\/a>‘ major league roster and signed big league contracts Saturday after attending spring training with minor league deals.<\/p>\n

Smith and Farmer each have $1.25 million salaries while in the majors as part of their split contracts, which call for lower salaries if assigned to the minors.<\/p>\n
