The team won its only division title in the <a href="/wiki/1981_Major_League_Baseball_strike" title="1981 Major League Baseball strike">strike-shortened</a> <a href="/wiki/1981_Major_League_Baseball_season" title="1981 Major League Baseball season">1981</a> season, but lost the <a href="/wiki/1981_National_League_Championship_Series" title="1981 National League Championship Series">1981 National League Championship Series</a> (NLCS) to the <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Dodgers" title="Los Angeles Dodgers">Los Angeles Dodgers</a>.

Alou became the Expos leader in games managed (1,409). The aftermath of the 1994 strike initiated a downward spiral as the Expos chose to sell off their best players, and attendance and interest in the team declined. Following a <a href="/wiki/2001_Major_League_Baseball_contraction_plan" title="2001 Major League Baseball contraction plan">failed attempt to disband the Expos</a>, Major League Baseball purchased the team prior to the 2002 season after the club failed to secure funding for a new ballpark.

Many teams were unwilling to agree to revenue sharing unless a <a href="/wiki/Salary_cap" title="Salary cap">salary cap</a> was put in place, something which the <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_Players%27_Association" class="mw-redirect" title="Major League Baseball Players' Association">Major League Baseball Players' Association</a> (MLBPA) adamantly opposed. Unable to come to an agreement, the owners attempted to unilaterally force their system into effect, prompting the players to walk out. Most of the players believed they would be back on the field by Labour Day (celebrated on the same date in the U.S. as Labor Day) at the latest.<a href="#cite_note-113">[113]</a> On September 14, following a month of fruitless negotiations, the remainder of the season was cancelled.<a href="#cite_note-114">[114]</a> The franchise would never reach the playoffs as the Expos again. From Brochu's perspective, a salary cap was not a major concern for the Expos as they could not afford to spend the maximum value of any negotiated cap. But when the strike ended eight months later, by the order of United States federal judge <a href="/wiki/Sonia_Sotomayor" title="Sonia Sotomayor">Sonia Sotomayor</a>, the failure to implement strong revenue sharing was a major blow to the Expos.<a href="#cite_note-115">[115]</a> The team had already built a reputation as a penny-pinching organization (Larry Walker once complained in the media that the team asked the players to buy their own vitamins),<a href="#cite_note-116">[116]</a> with the second-lowest payroll in MLB in 1994.<a href="#cite_note-117">[117]</a> Following the strike, the team initiated a <a href="/wiki/Fire_sale" title="Fire sale">fire sale</a> of players: <a href="/wiki/Ken_Hill_(baseball)" title="Ken Hill (baseball)">Ken Hill</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_Wetteland" title="John Wetteland">John Wetteland</a> and Marquis Grissom were traded while Larry Walker was allowed to leave as a free agent.

Brochu estimated that had he tried to keep the 1994 team together, the Expos would have lost $25 million in 1995, which would have pushed the franchise to the edge of bankruptcy. He claimed that he would have certainly kept Hill, Wetteland, Grissom and Walker had the partners been willing to put up the money necessary to keep them in Montreal.<a href="#cite_note-119">[119]</a> When Brochu told general manager <a href="/wiki/Kevin_Malone_(baseball)" title="Kevin Malone (baseball)">Kevin Malone</a> that Hill, Wetteland, Grissom and Walker all had to go, Malone tried to persuade Brochu to keep at least one of them. It was to no avail; Brochu told Malone that they all had to be off the roster by the deadline for salary arbitration—even though this made it all but impossible to get any leverage in possible deals.

While ticket sales increased in other markets in the seasons following the strike, though, Montreal's fan base continued to erode.<a href="#cite_note-125">[125]</a> Even with the loss of most of their best players, the Expos were competitive in <a href="/wiki/1996_Major_League_Baseball_season" title="1996 Major League Baseball season">1996</a>, achieving second place in the NL East with an 88–74 record.

Alou recalled in the latter part of the decade, an old friend of his who owned a team in the Dominican Republic came to Montreal for a visit and couldn't find any downtown store that sold Expos caps, nor did he see anyone wearing an Expos cap during his weeklong stay in the city. When he took a taxi to a game at Olympic Stadium, the driver couldn't find the entrance, and there were no signs anywhere touting games. According to Alou's friend, with such lackluster marketing, it was no surprise that the Expos couldn't attract any fans.<a href="#cite_note-128">[128]</a> Keri later wrote that the Expos would not have been in this position had a better-financed "champion" with the resources and the patience to shepherd the team through the 1990s bought the team.<a href="#cite_note-129">[129]</a> Brochu attempted to convince his partners that the only long-term solution to keep the Expos in Montreal was to replace Olympic Stadium. In addition to being poorly located—far from population centres, restaurants, and bars—fans perceived it as cavernous and unsafe. Additionally, free agents were letting it be known they were not willing to play for the Expos because of Olympic Stadium's poor playing conditions.<a href="#cite_note-130">[130]</a> A proposed 35,000-seat downtown facility, to be called Labatt Park, was announced in 1997 with a budgeted cost of $250 million and an anticipated opening date of 2001.

According to a <a href="/wiki/Montreal_Gazette" class="mw-redirect" title="Montreal Gazette">Montreal Gazette</a> editorial supporting the new park, Brochu's threat to move the team unless Olympic Stadium was replaced was "simple logic".

Most of the minority partners, though, continued to treat their participation as a public-relations gesture and remained uninterested in investing additional money. When Loria issued a cash call in May 2000, the only other partners to increase their contributions were Coutu, Loblaw, and Stephen Bronfman. Rather than contribute more money, the minority partners proposed trading Guerrero. Loria instantly vetoed this suggestion.<a href="#cite_note-142">[142]</a> As Loria increased his own financial contribution over the next two years, most of the other partners failed to do likewise, which resulted in Loria raising his share in the franchise to 92 percent.<a href="#cite_note-CashCalls-143">[143]</a><a href="#cite_note-IwasFooled-144">[144]</a><a href="#cite_note-145">[145]</a> Speaking in retrospect, one of the minority partners, Mark Routtenberg, said that he was both "fooled" and "used" by Loria, and called him a <a href="/wiki/Carpetbagger" title="Carpetbagger">carpetbagger</a>.<a href="#cite_note-146">[146]</a> The team payroll for 2000 increased to $33 million, nearly double the $17.9 million from the previous season. However, Loria's options for rebuilding the team were somewhat limited. Even with the team's renewed willingness to spend more on talent, most elite players were reluctant to play in Montreal, given the franchise's uncertain future and Olympic Stadium's poor playing conditions. As a result, most of the increased payroll came from the signings of free agent pitchers <a href="/wiki/Graeme_Lloyd" title="Graeme Lloyd">Graeme Lloyd</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hideki_Irabu" title="Hideki Irabu">Hideki Irabu</a>, as well as a three-way trade with the Rangers and Blue Jays that brought Rangers first baseman <a href="/wiki/Lee_Stevens" title="Lee Stevens">Lee Stevens</a> to Montreal. These moves failed to translate into on-field success: Lloyd missed the entire season due to <a href="/wiki/Arthroscopic_surgery" class="mw-redirect" title="Arthroscopic surgery">arthroscopic surgery</a>, Irabu posted a 7.24 ERA, and Stevens only batted .265. The Expos lost 95 games. Interest in the team continued to decline, as both fans and businesses were unwilling to lend their support to a noncompetitive team.<a href="#cite_note-147">[147]</a> Loria continued to pursue the construction of a new ballpark. He sought support from Major League Baseball, the Quebec government, and architectural firm <a href="/wiki/Populous_(company)" title="Populous (company)">HOK Sport</a> for a cheaper and re-designed version of Labatt Park that eschewed the retro-classic concept in favour of a more modern design with curved contours and glass. HOK and MLB both thought Loria's proposed design was structurally unsound. More seriously, although Loria had been led to believe that Ménard had convinced the provincial government to contribute funding, in reality no agreement had been reached.<a href="#cite_note-148">[148]</a> To bolster the team's finances, Loria tried to renegotiate the Expos' broadcasting deals, which were far less valuable than that of any other team. He broke off negotiations with <a href="/wiki/The_Sports_Network" title="The Sports Network">The Sports Network</a>, the largest English-language cable sports network in Canada, when it only offered the Expos $5,000 per game. Even allowing for the Expos' greatly reduced home territory compared to that of the Blue Jays (see below), TSN's offer was still a pittance compared to the $200,000 it paid the Blue Jays at the time. Loria had similar issues with prospective radio partners; the only interested parties would only air Expos games as part of a <a href="/wiki/Brokered_programming" title="Brokered programming">brokerage agreement</a> in which the team paid for the airtime. The Alouettes and Canadiens had similar arrangements, which was considered highly unusual for the time.<a href="#cite_note-Keri351-149">[149]</a> Although the team continued its French radio coverage on the Telemedia network—whose flagship, <a href="/wiki/CKAC" title="CKAC">CKAC</a>, had carried the Expos since 1973—the Expos were unable to reach an agreement for English radio broadcasts. This resulted in the end of the Expos' longtime run on <a href="/wiki/CINW" title="CINW">CIQC</a> (formerly CFCF), which had been the Expos' English radio outlet for all but four years of their existence. No television coverage was available in either language. This left English-speaking fans relying on Internet audiocasts. Local fans accused Loria and his stepson, <a href="/wiki/David_Samson_(baseball)" title="David Samson (baseball)">David Samson</a>, of sabotage. In truth, though, according to longtime Montreal sportscaster <a href="/wiki/Mitch_Melnick" title="Mitch Melnick">Mitch Melnick</a>, there was no anglophone radio for the 2000 season "because nobody wanted to pay for it."<a href="#cite_note-150">[150]</a> Years later, Samson said that he had initially hoped that if the Expos got off to a hot start, local broadcasters would initiate new negotiations, but further discussions never materialized.<a href="#cite_note-Keri351-149">[149]</a> <a href="/wiki/Dave_Van_Horne" title="Dave Van Horne">Dave Van Horne</a>, the team's English-language play-by-play announcer since the team's inception, left at the season's end to work for the <a href="/wiki/Florida_Marlins" class="mw-redirect" title="Florida Marlins">Florida Marlins</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Internet-broadcast-151">[151]</a> In <a href="/wiki/2001_Major_League_Baseball_season" title="2001 Major League Baseball season">2001</a>, the Expos drew only 642,748 fans, one of the smallest totals in MLB in decades.<a href="#cite_note-2004MG6-101">[101]</a><a href="#cite_note-152">[152]</a> The minority partners, whose interest was now reduced to a combined seven percent, became convinced that Loria had planned his moves to force them out. When pleas to Selig and MLB officials fell on deaf ears, the group became convinced that Selig and Loria had conspired to force the Expos out of Montreal.<a href="#cite_note-153">[153]</a> At the same time, MLB took steps to vote on <a href="/wiki/2001_Major_League_Baseball_contraction_plan" title="2001 Major League Baseball contraction plan">contraction of the leagues</a>, with the Expos and the <a href="/wiki/Minnesota_Twins" title="Minnesota Twins">Minnesota Twins</a> slated for elimination.<a href="#cite_note-154">[154]</a> On November 6, 2001, MLB's owners voted 28–2 in favour of contraction, with only the Expos and Twins opposed.<a href="#cite_note-Keri_2014_364-155">[155]</a> Initial plans called for the Expos and Twins to play a lame-duck season in <a href="/wiki/2002_Major_League_Baseball_season" title="2002 Major League Baseball season">2002</a> before their franchises were revoked.

He was hired only 72 hours before the start of <a href="/wiki/Spring_training" title="Spring training">spring training</a>, and there were only six other employees in baseball operations; most of the others had either followed Loria to the Marlins or taken jobs with other clubs.<a href="#cite_note-162">[162]</a> As the Expos began what many assumed at the time to be their final season in <a href="/wiki/2002_Montreal_Expos_season" title="2002 Montreal Expos season">2002</a>, the mood in the Olympic Stadium for the home opener—a victory over the Marlins—was ugly. Montreal's home opener drew 34,000 fans, many of which came not only to say "goodbye" to the franchise, but also to express their disgust and anger at Loria.<a href="#cite_note-163">[163]</a> Loria's minority partners, who had gone from collectively owning 76 percent of the Expos to less than seven percent of the Marlins, filed a <a href="/wiki/Racketeer_Influenced_and_Corrupt_Organizations_Act" title="Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act">Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act</a> (RICO) lawsuit against Major League Baseball, Selig and Loria. The partners contended that Loria and the commissioner's office had conspired to deprive them of their shares by issuing cash calls, and thus deliberately undermined the franchise's future in Montreal.<a href="#cite_note-164">[164]</a> The partners were ultimately unsuccessful in their suit, as it was dismissed in 2005 after an arbitration panel rejected their claims.<a href="#cite_note-165">[165]</a> On the field, the 2002 Expos exceeded expectations and were in playoff contention for much of the season. As they were owned by the other teams, including their direct competitors, the Expos did not have any flexibility to increase their payroll for a last-ditch postseason drive.<a href="#cite_note-166">[166]</a> Operating under the belief that the Expos were playing their last season in Montreal, Minaya completed a blockbuster trade with the <a href="/wiki/Cleveland_Guardians" title="Cleveland Guardians">Cleveland Indians</a> in late June to make a final run at bringing postseason success to the city, acquiring <a href="/wiki/Bartolo_Col%C3%B3n" title="Bartolo Colón">Bartolo Colón</a>, one of baseball's top pitchers, in exchange for several star prospects and without increasing payroll.

The Expos finished with an 83–79 record—their first winning season since 1996—but finished second in the NL East, 19 games out of both the division lead and the wild card.<a href="#cite_note-Keri_2014_371-372-167">[167]</a> The Expos franchise was saved by a new collective bargaining agreement between the owners and players that forbade contraction until at least 2006.

On the home uniform, blue pinstripes were added and a script "Expos" in blue with red trim was emblazoned in front.

A blue <a href="/wiki/Fleur-de-lis" title="Fleur-de-lis">fleur-de-lis</a> was also added above the road uniform script.

Gary Carter was inducted in 2003 and was the first player whose Hall of Fame plaque depicted him with an Expos cap. The Hall's choice for his plaque logo followed initial statements by Carter that he preferred to be enshrined as a New York Met, with whom he won the <a href="/wiki/1986_World_Series" title="1986 World Series">1986 World Series</a>. He accepted the Hall's decision with grace, stating: "The fact I played 11 years in Montreal and the fact that the majority of my statistics and accomplishments were achieved there, it would be wrong, probably, to do it any other way."<a href="#cite_note-210">[210]</a> Andre Dawson became the second depicted as an Expos player when he was elected in 2010. Although he had played the majority of his 21-year career with Montreal, Dawson also preferred his plaque to display a different logo: when the decision was made, he publicly expressed his disappointment, saying it was "a little gut-wrenching" to find out he would not go in as a Chicago Cub.<a href="#cite_note-211">[211]</a> Dawson's reluctance to be enshrined as an Expos player stemmed, in part, from the breakdown of his relationship with the team during MLB's <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_collusion" title="Major League Baseball collusion">collusion scandal</a> of 1986–87, when he claims the team not only "threw him out" of Montreal, but tried to prevent other teams from signing him as a <a href="/wiki/Free_agent" title="Free agent">free agent</a>.<a href="#cite_note-212">[212]</a> The third player with an Expos logo on his Hall of Fame plaque is <a href="/wiki/Tim_Raines" title="Tim Raines">Tim Raines</a>, who was inducted in 2017, his final year of eligibility.<a href="#cite_note-raines_HoF-213">[213]</a> On January 24, 2018, the <a href="/wiki/National_Baseball_Hall_of_Fame_and_Museum" title="National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum">National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum</a> announced <a href="/wiki/Vladimir_Guerrero" title="Vladimir Guerrero">Vladimir Guerrero</a> as an inductee into the Hall of Fame. Guerrero played eight of his 16 seasons with the Expos, being named to the MLB All-Star Game three times and winning the <a href="/wiki/Silver_Slugger_Award" title="Silver Slugger Award">Silver Slugger Award</a> three times while with the team. Nearly half of his career 2,590 hits were with Montreal (1,215), while having 234 of his 449 home runs and 702 of his 1,496 RBIs with the Expos in 1,004 games. Guerrero announced his Hall of Fame plaque will display him wearing an Angels cap.<a href="#cite_note-MLB-Guerrero-cap-214">[214]</a> For the five other inductees, their time in Montreal played lesser roles in their careers.
