The Atlanta Braves are going to have a lot of money coming off of the books for the 2019 season. How should they use it?

There have been varying estimates of how much money the Atlanta Braves will have to play with. MLB.com writer Mark Bowman suggests Atlanta will have around $60 million to spend while David O’Brien of The Athletic suggests Atlanta will have around $30 million.  Either way, someone is coming to Atlanta and the big question is:  Who?

With the play of Johan Camargo for the Atlanta Braves, many would suggest that Atlanta does not need to pursue a third baseman. And since the Braves have control over Adam Duvall, some might even say that there is no need for an additional outfielder despite Duvall’s poor 2018 performance.

Well, I say otherwise. Here is a look at my Top 5 free agent picks in no particular order for the Braves to target in the 2018-2019 offseason.
