*** News Conference *** - Olympic Stadium
Ladies and gentleman the new owner of your Montreal Expos, Mr. Justin Shipman. Thank you. I bought this team with the dream of turning them into World Series contenders. With the recent success of small market teams such as: Minnesota, Oakland and Kansas City, I know it can be done. We have a lot of arbitration eligible and free agency eligible players but with the help of my assistant, Mr. Jeff Bair, we will evaluate who we need to pursue and who we are willing to let go. Those that we deam to be expendable we will attempt to move before the trading deadline for prospects that are ready to play at the big league level right now. In addition, after talking to several former managers about our manager position, we have decided to stick with Frank Robinson. Mr. Robinson has just agreed to a two-year extension. So Expos fans get ready because the days of eating dirt are over.
