Owners discuss Expos

The future ownership of the Montreal Expos is likely to be near the top of the agenda when Major League Baseball team owners meet in Arizona later today.

The Expos - now owned by MLB - will this year play 22 of its home games outside of the city in a bid to boost revenues from the club.
Two consortiums have expressed an interest in acquiring the franchise - one from the Washington DC area, the second from Portland.
The meeting will hear from the committee dealing with the Expos as to what criteria will need to be met to take over the franchise and move it from Montreal.
