Thanks for that information. I found Jayson Stark's column and it states that Segura's actions were LEGAL.

Did MLB officially say that Segura should've been called out for a 7.01 rule violation?
When the pitcher was in the "pitching position", Segura actually was
advancing to 3rd,
not running backwards. Only subsequently, in the course of playing action, did he end up going back to 1st. Which was legally
unoccupied.
Are you
sure MLB declared this illegal and that the umpires ruled improperly?
