Nationals and Marlins Infielders Shared the Most Wholesome Moment of the MLB Season

Former teammates Luis Arráez and Ildemaro Vargas shared a sweet moment during Sunday’s game between the Miami Marlins and Washington Nationals.

Arráez and Vargas are both Venezuelan-born second basemen, and the two even spent a season together with the Minnesota Twins back in 2020. While they no longer play with one another every day, the bromance appears to be very much alive.

During the first inning of Sunday’s game, Vargas drew a heart in the infield dirt for Arráez, then left a handful of Double Bubble gum inside it. This is easily the most wholesome moment of the 2023 MLB season:

Arráez accepted the gift, enjoyed a piece of the gum and gave the rest to first base umpire Nestor Ceja.

The sports world certainly appreciated Vargas’ hilarious gesture.
