Juan Soto may have been tagged out on this play, but he definitely got his revenge on Ozzie Albies.
On Sunday, the San Diego Padres were visiting the Atlanta Braves for the last game of a four-game series. During the top of the first, the Padres were looking to draw first blood with Soto on base having won two games in the series already. Unfortunately, Nelson Cruz grounded into a fielder’s choice as Albies forced out Soto with a tag on second to end the inning.
After the force out, Soto grabbed Albies’ batting gloves out of his back pocket and tossed them on the ground in a cheeky bit of revenge.

Clearly, Soto was just messing around here to give Albies some more work to do before heading off for the inning, as no one on the Braves side took offense. No harm, no foul! But, at the very least, Soto got some sweet, sweet revenge.
