Free-agent shortstop Manny Machado attempted to clarify comments he made about his perceived hustle on the bases, or lack thereof.
During the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, Machado was ripped when he did not run out a ground ball to first base.
He later said to The Athletic, "I'm not the type of player that's going to be 'Johnny Hustle' and run down the line and slide to first base."
Machado, who is expected to receive an offer this offseason that will make one baseball's highest paid players, said when he was asked the question about hustle, he got defensive about it.
