Going to Montreal in 2019 and seeing all the Expos hats and jerseys for sale gave me the impression that they never really got over losing a professional baseball team.

There has actually been talking of moving the Rays to Montreal for half the season. It won't actually happen because it's a logistical nightmare, but it demonstrates that Montreal is still a viable market and a new team using the Expos name could return.

I believe MLB owns the "Expos" trademark, even though all previous history is with the Nationals. Odds are what would happen is an expansion franchise using the old name but not the history.

There's constant talk about relocating a current team to assume the Expos history & name.
