Expansion Draft Rosters Thread

mgom27 · 11-07-2008, 11:13 PM

What I'm trying to do here is a Expansion League meaning the teams Rosters right after their Expansion Draft happened or the year they entered the League.
A list on the year the team entered the League is all I need to do this Roster Project and like the Nats,Rangers,so on and Mariners don't count because their were never Expansion Teams but Teams relocated to those cities.

I don't get what you are trying to do here. Am I the only one?

I have no real idea what the OP is saying, but trying my best I think you're asking which teams in MLB were expansion teams versus simply changing cities.

If that's the case, they are (years represent first season of play):

1961 - Los Angeles Angels
Washington Senators (now Texas Rangers)

1962 - Houston Colt .45s (now Houston Astros)
New York Mets

1969 - Kansas City Royals
Montreal Expos (now Washington Nationals)
San Diego Padres
Seattle Pilots (now Milwaukee Brewers)

1977 - Seattle Mariners
Toronto Blue Jays

1993 - Colorado Rockies
Florida Marlins

1998 - Arizona Diamondbacks
Tampa Bay Devil Rays (now Tampa Bay Rays)
