The "Fire Sale" offseason Following the World Series victory, Huizenga dismantled the team, claiming financial losses despite winning the World Series. He traded most of the club's best players in one of the biggest fire sales in sports history. The first deal came days after the World Series, when outfielder Moisés Alou was traded to the Houston Astros for pitchers Oscar Hernandez and Manuel Barrios.

In 1999, the Marlins were the first MLB team to host a game in which instant replay was used. While playing the Cardinals, Cliff Floyd hit a ball to the top of the left field scoreboard.
