According to a report from George A. King III of the New York Post, the current vice president of player development is leaving the Bronx to join former Yankees shortstop and new part-owner of the Miami Marlins, Derek Jeter, in South Beach. Denbo will become the team’s director of player development and amateur scouting.
Denbo has spent a long time in baseball, dating back to 1983 when he was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds. After playing in the minors for four years, he transitioned into coaching.
In 1990, Denbo began his first run with the Yankees and served as a manager or hitting coach for minor league teams until he became the hitting coordinator for the entire organization in 1997.
