OT: All-Purpose Expos Return Speculation Topic -- Part Deux
- Thread starter Runner77

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

There actually could have been a chance this time, had a solid structure already been in place and Bronfman was ready and waiting to pounce on the opportunity. Manfred very openly likes Montreal quite a bit and would probably be willing to facilitate it, but you need a project well in place to begin with.

I remember the Expos first pennant race, a .600 team losing the division title on last game of season in '79. Pirates went to win World Series.
Montreal a .600 team with a great farm system. It looked so rosy. During winter meetings they traded a fringe southpaw pitcher for Ron LeFlore. What a steal the baseball world claimed. It was another Stan Papi for Bill Lee trade Montreal radio was comparing it to. The team of the '80s it looked like. Little did we know we never stole LeFlore. Tigers dumped him instead. He had cocaine addiction and brought that trouble to Montreal. It infected many stars. Which was part of Montreal's downfall.
