Atlanta Braves fans haven't forgotten how difficult it was to watch the organization rebuild a little over a decade ago. There was a feeling that Liberty Media was being extremely cheap and didn't care about the fan experience. This put a bad taste in the mouth of fans and didn't do a lot to build trust.
The need to cut payroll and shipping off fan favorite players like Craig Kimbrel and Andrelton Simmons didn't help improve that rift either. However, as they say, time heals all wounds. Eventually, the sting of loss wore off, and the process to build a sustainable contender began.
