Florida Marlins
Through the first 64 games of the 1998 season, Orie got off to a dismal start, compiling only a .181 batting average in over 200 at-bats. Subsequently, on the last day before the July 31 trading deadline, the Cubs sent Orie and minor leaguer Todd Noel to the Florida Marlins for Felix Heredia and minor leaguer Steve Hoff.
After concluding the 1998 season with the Marlins, Orie would remain with Florida for the entire 1999 season, tallying a .254 batting average with 6 home runs and 29 RBI while appearing in 77 games.
