Bryn Smith spent the majority of his career as a starting pitcher with the Montreal Expos. He would finish his career with Montreal with a 81-71 record and his best season saw him go 18 and 5 with a 1.052 WHIP in 1985.

An All-Star in 1977, Ellis Valentine would win the Gold Glove the following year and for a time was known as having the most powerful throwing arms in the game.  Valentine could hit too as he had three straight seasons hitting more than 20 Home Runs.  An Expos until he was traded during the 1981 Season, Valentine belted 95 Home Runs with 676 Hits.

After seven years in Baseball; five with Pittsburgh, and two with the Dodgers, Bob Bailey became an original Montreal Expo, when the expansion team purchased his contract.

Bailey was a good hitter who would three times exceed twenty Home Runs in a season and actually topped over 1.000 in OPS during the 1970 campaign.  He had 791 Hits for Montreal, 118 of which were Home Runs.

Ron Fairly played for the Los Angeles Dodgers for nearly 12 Seasons, before he was traded to the Montreal Expos during their expansion season.

It was a good acquisition for the Expos, who needed a veteran who had won at the highest level, and Fairly still could get on base often via the Walk.  In 1973, Fairley went to his first All-Star Game, and with the Expos, he had 86 Home Runs and an OBP of .381 over his five-and-a-half years in Montreal.

Spending his first six seasons of his MLB career with the Montreal Expos, Javier Vazquez was a good power pitcher who struck out 200 batters twice as an Expo.  Vazquez never quite lived up to his billing as he gave up far too many hits, but was a better than most starting pitchers during his tenure in Montreal.  He had a 64-68 Record with 1,076 Strikeouts with the Expos.

Like Larry Walker, Andres Galarraga would find himself a major star with the Colorado Rockies, but it as a Montreal Expo where he first proved he was a better than average Major League Baseball player.  “The Big Cat” was an All-Star in 1988 and would lead the NL in Hits (184) and Doubles (42) that year.  Throw in a Silver Slugger and two Gold Gloves, and it is easy to see why the Expos fans were upset to lose another budding star, when they knew would not be able to afford him.  Galarraga had 906 Hits, 115 Home Runs and batted .269 for Montreal.

Rondell White spent the 1990’s with the Montreal Expos organization and was a productive Outfielder who nearly accumulated 20 for his Expos bWAR.  White would have two seasons where he eclipsed the .300 Batting Average in Montreal and had over 100 Home Runs there.

The first player on this list who played for “both the Expos and the Nationals”, Livan Hernandez had his best regular seasons for this franchise.  A World Series MVP with the Marlins in 1997, Hernandez would become a two-time All-Star and a bona fide innings eater for the Expos/Nationals, and had a 70-72 record with 840 Strikeouts for the team.

Pedro Martinez would become a Baseball Hall of Fame inductee, predominantly based on his work with the Boston Red Sox.  Still, it was with the Montreal Expos where Pedro would assert his stardom.

Rusty Staub (Le Grande Orange) was an original Montreal Expo and had such great popularity over those three seasons he played there (though he did come back for a cup of coffee late in his career) that the team retired his number.  Staub would be an All-Star those three years and would put up an On Base Percentage over .400 as an Expo.

Prior to becoming a superstar and MVP in Colorado, Larry Walker was a very good player with the Montreal Expos who would become the only Canadian to win the franchise’s MVP award.  Walker would make an All-Star Game, and win two Gold Gloves and one Silver Slugger as an Expo.  

Following the 1994 season which was shut down due to a lockout, the Expos held a firesale, with Walker being traded to Colorado.  With Montreal, Walker had 99 Home Runs with 666 Hits, and in 2019, he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

A three-time All-Star from Puerto Rico, Jose Vidro had 1,280 Hits as an Expo/National and would be higher on this list had he been better on the defensive side of the baseball.  He also batted .301 for the team with 115 Home Runs.

One of the more underrated players in the 1980s, Tim Wallach would make five All-Star Games on the strength of his reputation with the respective National League Managers who selected him.  In addition to his five All-Star appearances, Wallach would earn a pair of Silver Slugger Awards and three Gold Gloves. 

With the Expos, Wallach smacked 204 Home Runs, 905 RBIs and collected 1.694 Hits.

The greatest Pitcher to come out of Nicaragua, Dennis Martinez had the best years of his long career with the Montreal Expos where he would be a three-time All-Star and won the ERA title in 1991.  Martinez would finish fifth in National League Cy Young voting that season.  Martinez had 100 of his 245 with the Expos, and had a 3.06 ERA with 973 Strikeouts.

With his blazing speed Marquis Grissom was a demon on the basepaths, twice leading the National League in Stolen Bases as an Expo.  Grissom was also quite adept utilizing his speed patrolling the outfield, as he would earn two of his four Gold Gloves in Montreal.  The Expos were unable to keep Grissom and was unloaded to the Braves in 1995, where he won a World Series Ring.  Grissom had 747 Hits with 266 Stoken Bases.

Spending his entire career in a Montreal Expos uniform, Steve Rogers would have a very healthy career which would see him lead the league in Earned Run Average in 1982 and make the National League All-Star Team five times.  Rogers would finish in the top five in Cy Young voting three times.

Rogers posted a lifetime record of 158-152 with 1,621 Strikeouts and an ERA of 3.17.  Regardless of how the franchise advances, there will be no better Pitcher specifically as an Expo than Steve Rogers.

Entering the Baseball Hall of Fame with an Expos hat in 2003, “The Kid”, Gary Carter, was considered to be one of the best Catchers in baseball for a decade, both with his bat and behind the plate.  

While “The Hawk”, Andre Dawson might be best known for winning the 1987 National League MVP with the Chicago Cubs, it was with the Montreal Expos that he had by far his greatest overall run.  

Easily one of the most highly touted players in baseball history, Vladimir Guerrero did not disappoint when he was finally called up to the Majors.  Guerrero actually goes down as the man who will have the most home runs as a Montreal Expo (234) with a Slugging Percentage well over .500.  He would also lead the NL in Hits in 2002 as well as Total Bases.

One of the most exciting players of the 1980s, Tim Raines would lead the National League in Stolen Bases four years in a row (1981-84) and would make seven consecutive All-Star Games (1981-87).  “The Rock” would also win a Batting Title and On Base Percentage Title in 1986 and would make the top ten in MVP voting three times.  A two-time Runs leader, Raines was the best leadoff man in the National League in the 80s and had it not been for RIckey Henderson, would have held that title in all baseball.

The Expos traded Raines to the White Sox, and while he played another decade, he never came close to matching what he did in Montreal with any other team.  With the Expos, Raines had 1,622 Hits, batted .301, and is the franchise leader in Triples (82), and Stolen Bases (635).  The Expos would later retire his number 30.

On his 15th and final year on the ballot, Raines would finally enter the Baseball Hall of Fame and did so wearing the cap of the Expos.  That year, Raines was inducted into the Nationals Ring of Honor.
