From the clip it's not clear what was happening nor is it clear which players were involved.  Social media detectives went to work and concluded that the players involved were Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeil.

The detectives were right about that.  But nobody could have guessed what the explanation for the commotion would be.

According to Lindor, the two were debating whether or not there was a New York rat or a racoon in the Mets tunnel.

"We were going back and forth debating if it was a rat or a racoon"

It must have been a heated debate or someone is full of shit.  The fact that Lindor is laughing his way through the explanation tells you all you need to know, the story is 100% bullshit.
