NEW YORK -- New York Mets acting general manager Zack Scott wasn't thrilled by Francisco Lindor's fuzzy explanation for a dugout dispute Friday night.
Scott said Saturday it was "unfortunate" that Lindor and teammate Jeff McNeil attempted to dismiss their dust-up by bizarrely claiming they were arguing over a critter spotted in the clubhouse tunnel -- Lindor said it was a rat, while McNeil indicated it was a raccoon or possum.
The disagreement happened out of view of television cameras, but New York's broadcast showed other players and coaches rushing into the tunnel to break up some sort of commotion.
