As each season opens we get farther removed from the Montreal Expos. The last Expos game was played in 2004, 11 seasons ago. As of right now there is only one Expos on an active roster, with one on the DL and a few more bouncing around the free agent market and Mexico. (Unless I missed someone).
Bartolo Colon
Expos Career: 17 games in 2002
Nationals Career: Zero
MLB Career: 443 games from 1997-2015
Currently in the Mets rotation
Colon is so old he played for the Indians for 5 seasons before joining the Expos in 2002 as a 29 year old. The 42 year started, and won the Mets season opener this year.
Maicer Izturis
Expos Career: 32 games in 2004
Nationals Career: Zero
MLB Career: 909 games from 2004-2014
Currently on Blue Jays Disabled List
Izturis was signed as a an amateur free agent by the Indians, then was traded to Montreal in 2004 and made his MLB debut with the team that year, then was traded to the Angels in November. At 34 years old he has a pretty good chance at being the last Expo standing
Endy Chavez

MLB Career: 1151 games from 2001-2014
