The Pittsburgh Pirates are no strangers to news in the past couple of days. Although nothing is confirmed, the stars seem to be lining up for a potential reunion between former fan favorite Neil Walker and the Pirates. In a recent interview with The Athletic, the utility man stated the following:
I’m not going to concede to the notion of retiring as a 34-year-old who is in good shape
But I’m not going to play in Triple A
(please note: these are two separate quotes)
Walker latched on with the Phillies on a minor league deal during the off-season.
