The latest twist in the New York Yankees/Manny Machado drama came when Hal Steinbrenner proposed a meeting between the two sides. The purpose of the rendezvous would be to let Machado clarify comments on his distaste for hustling.
Any baseball fan who doesn’t know by now about Machado telling Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal that running hard isn’t his “cup of tea” must be some sort of modern Rip Van Winkle.
If you really did just walk out of the Catskills after a 20-year nap, welcome to modern baseball, but there’s no need to warn the guy who signs the Yankees’ checks.
