Have the Detroit Tigers found their new first baseman?
The club announced Wednesday that they had signed Renato Nunez to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Nunez, 26, has spent the last two years as an everyday player for the Baltimore Orioles, getting work at first base, designated hitter and, occasionally, at third.

The Tigers on Saturday announced their list of 15 Minor League players to receive non-roster invites to Major League camp for Spring Training. First workout for pitchers and catchers is scheduled for Feb. 17, with the first full-squad workout slated for Feb. 22.
While the list of invites includes a fair number of top prospects, it’s not as deep of a list as in some years. One reason on the prospect side is the probable delayed start of the Class A and Double-A seasons. Prospects below the Triple-A level who receive big league invites could well go through two Spring Trainings, a heavy workload before seasons begin. Another reason is the Minor League mini-camp the Tigers are holding for pitchers and catchers not on the 40-man roster to help them ramp up for the Triple-A season.
