When the time is right, he could announce his retirement while being given a very nice send off by the team.
Of course, if he’s really producing, that could put a monkey wrench in the works.
With the way our roster's going to look we probably won't have any trouble finding someone to release if Neil is performing well.

Could Neil Walker Return To Retire As A Pirate

You make a very good point, this team needs some veteran presence, and someone who is respected by the younger players. On the other hand a player such as Puig is not a good guy to bring into the Pirates current situation.
