Best Answer

The Expos were moved to Washington and became the Nationals. They moved because they could not find an owner who wanted to buy the team and keep them in Montreal. Support of the team eroded over time for many reasons such as the team being forced to trade all their best players, the strike of 1994 when the Expos were one of the best teams, and the olympic stadium which was far from downtown and not a fan friendly stadium.
