New Netflix documentary: “Who Killed The Montreal Expos?”

Director Jean-François Poisson’s film centers on the lingering questions and mysteries surrounding the demise of the Expos. The team was the first in Major League Baseball to call Canada home and remains popular with many Quebecois despite playing its last game in 2004.
Hall of Famers and former Expos players Pedro Martinez, Vladimir Guerrero Sr. and Larry Walker are interviewed for the documentary, along with former manager Felipe Alou and a number of journalists, fans and team employees.
Releases October 21, looks very 30-for-30-ish. Looking forward to it.

I'm looking forward to it.
Would rather the Expos still exist than the Nationals.
There's still a lot of baseball fans in Montreal. Their TV deal was bad and I don't know if an expansion Expos team would have one that's much better. Unfortunately a Montreal team won't have a lot of support outside of Quebec.
That 1994 team (and the 1981 team) were loaded.

There needs to be a baseball team in the nations capital. But it is a shame another team had to die to make it so.

The strike not happening and that 94 team making a deep playoff run (or potentially winning a title) is one of the great what ifs in modern baseball. They had a nice attendance bump that year and a deep run could have convinced ownership to keep the core of the roster together and sustained the increase in fan interest. The strike killed any shot of that happening

Quebec is like 9 million people now, and they’ll all support a Montreal team

Multiple reasons, the biggest two:
1. English speaking players preferred not to live in a French speaking province
2. The Canadian dollar holds up less than the American dollar so players would be taking a pay cut to play for them. A comparable salary was not feasible for the team.
