I think it was Han Solo who uttered the words, “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” in the first Star Wars movie, “A New Hope”. I myself am repeating the same words when I read stories that the Atlanta Braves are growing more interested in making a trade for Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto.
That might also be the only time you read me make a Star Wars reference in a baseball trade story.
The Braves have one of the best minor league systems in the Majors, but taking the Marlins top star off their hands is more like twisting a knife deeper in a wound that ultimately will push the South Florida team’s ascension toward the top of the National League East back a few more steps.
