Where Have All the Expos Gone?
Another one bites the dust. With Orlando Cabrera announcing his retirement yesterday, we lose one of the last few players that can be largely identified with the now defunct Montreal Expos. It is a club that might soon be extinct, actually. Out of all the remaining "true" Expos, just Vladimir Guerrero and, arguably, Javier Vazquez remain and both of those players...

I think he’d be a great fit for the Mets as a proven winner, mentor to Tejada and Murphy on a one-year deal, and quality middle infielder who will hopefully accept the role as a backup, but should still get plenty of starts.
