Núñez spent last seasons with the Nippon Ham Fighters of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball, hitting 18 homers in 131 contests. The 28-year-old slugger got into 14 contests for the Tigers during the 2021 season, posting a lackluster .690 OPS in 55 plate appearances.

Núñez will head overseas after hitting just .189/.218/.472 with four home runs across 55 plate appearances with the Tigers last season. The 27-year-old slugger possesses plenty of over-the-fence pop, but contact issues and defensive struggles have limited his opportunities in recent years.

Renato Núñez has elected free agency.

The personification of the all-or-nothing modern-era slugger, Núñez clobbered 21 homers in 386 plate appearances at the Triple-A level with the Tigers and Brewers, but struggled at the highest level, slashing .189/.218/.472 with four round-trippers across 55 plate appearances in 14 games with the Tigers this season. The 27-year-old slugger will likely be forced to settle for a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training this offseason, unless he elects to take his prodigious over-the-fence pop overseas.

Núñez was released by the Tigers late last week and it didn't take him long to latch on with a new team. The veteran slugger will be assigned to Triple-A and hope for a shot at some point in September.
