The Montreal Expos have withdrawn a reported three-year, $9 million contract offer to pitcher Mark Langston, the team announced.
Langston, eligible to file for free agency following the World Series, was obtained by Montreal last May in a trade with the Seattle Mariners. The Expos had hoped to persuade Langston to sign a long-term contract before the season ended, but he rejected the offer.
Bill Stoneman, vice-president of baseball operations for the Expos, informed Arn Tellem, Langston’s agent, of the withdrawal, but said, “The door is open if your client wishes to negotiate with Montreal at a future date.”
