The Twins Expose on the Chopping Block

In 2001, MLB owners voted to cut two teams from the league. The Minnesota twins and Montreal exposed were on the chopping block. This was less than two months after September 11th, 2001. David concludes the plan would help avoid a work stoppage as the players labor agreement was set to expire that week. In early 2002, Expo's owner Jeffrey Laurier sold his team to Major League Baseball and subsequently purchased Florida Marlins.
