The prevailing theme of the 2018-19 offseason, as far as Braves fans are concerned, has been the level of spending that the organization has committed in order to improve upon their surprising 2018 campaign. Many Braves fans are clear in what they want — for an organization that hasn’t won a playoff series since 2001, a deep playoff run in 2019 is clearly the goal, and fans want to see their team stop at nothing to get there. With an offseason in which many potential upgrades to the Braves roster are purported to be available, and a front office that has gone on the record to state that they could “shop in any aisle,” there was a lot of hope (and hype) that the Braves would be swinging for the fences this offseason.
