Montreal Expos!

This just in: Jose signed a contract with the Expos today and will probably
play left field for them this season. I'll send more details and reactions
later, but I wanted to share the big news with everyone right away.

Spring Training Dish: Expos give Canseco a chance
By Ken Rosenthal
February 19, 2002

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- We've finally heard of a concept more bizarre than
contraction: Jose Canseco in the National League, playing outfield for the
Expos. Canseco, 37, reached agreement Tuesday with the Expos, and will play
in the NL for the first time in his 18-year career if he makes the club.
The Expos likely will use Canseco in left field -- they're otherwise
looking at a Brad Wilkerson/Geoff Blum platoon -- and as a righthanded
hitter off the bench. Canseco last played the outfield regularly with the
Blue Jays in 1998. The Expos will be his eighth team, and seventh different
club in the last seven seasons. He is 38 homers short of 500.
