What happened: A clip shared by @MLB caught Freddie Freeman's incredulous reaction after his former teammate Michael Soroka attempted to pick him off at first base. Freeman, visibly amused, appeared to take the pickoff try as a personal affront from a familiar face. The lighthearted exchange quickly drew reactions across baseball social media.

Why it matters: Moments like this underscore the relationships that carry over when teammates land on opposing rosters. Freeman remains one of the sport's most recognizable veterans, and his on-field personality continues to make him a fixture in viral baseball moments. The familiarity between the two former teammates added an extra layer of humor to the play.

What to watch: Watch whether Soroka keeps a close eye on Freeman the rest of the matchup, and how often pitchers test the veteran's lead at first.
