Which playoff team had the most players on it's roster that had been in the playoffs before but not for the team they were currently on?

There are actually two ways to answer this. One way is a tie between to teams if we base the answer on who played in the playoffs for the current team and the other way produces just one name based on who played for them during the season.

I figure it's one of the teams that went on a free-agent raid, either the 97 Marlins, or one of the Yankee$ FA splurges

For all the hype the 1997 Marlins get for the way they went out building a team they are not even close when it comes to this record.

Is this possibly a trick question, as in the 1959 Los Angeles Dodgers, since they moved from Brooklyn in 1958?

No it is not a trick question.

The best hint I can give is that in all probability the team or teams that place at the top are teams that haven't been to the playoffs in a while. A team that goes to the playoffs often will quite obviously have many players appear in the playoffs with that franchise. While teams that haven't been in the playoffs in a while we have pretty much nobody around on their team that was in the playoffs while with that franchise.
