As first reported by Craig Mish of SportsGrid and since confirmed by many others in the industry, Gary Denbo is out as the Marlins vice president of player development and scouting. Handpicked by Derek Jeter for a prominent front office role at the start of the franchise’s latest rebuild, Denbo departs only four months after Jeter’s exit as CEO.
Denbo played professionally in the 1980s, then transitioned into a hitting coach, working his way up through the Yankees organization. He was their vice president of player development in 2017 when Jeter hired him away to transform the Marlins farm system.
