Tigers Sign Renato Nunez To Minor League Deal
4 years agoThe Detroit Tigers have signed corner infielder Renato Nunez to a minor league deal. Nunez was designated for assignment by the Baltimore Orioles late last year. The Tigers currently project to use a combination of Jeimer Candelario, Willi Castro and Isaac Paredes at the corner spots this year, but Nunez could be a candidate for a prime bench role. Nunez, who is just 26 years old, bashed 31 home runs in 2019 and hit 12 home runs with a .816 OPS over 52 games in 2020. He's a shaky fielder and has some strikeout concerns, but he could still be a solid source of power off the bench for the Tigers.
