Adrián Beltré
After the 1999 season, the Marlins needed to make room for their future third baseman, Mike Lowell, making Orie expendable. On November 12, 1999, the Marlins sent Orie to the Los Angeles Dodgers as part of a conditional deal. Although Orie put together an impressive spring training with the Dodgers prior to the season, the club already had two established third basemen on their roster: Adrián Beltré &amp; Dave Hansen. Thus, the Dodgers released Orie on March 29, 2000, days before the season would begin.
