Marlins, VP Gary Denbo Part Ways

By Anthony Franco | June 29, 2022 at 4:01pm CDT

The Marlins and vice president of player development and scouting Gary Denbo are parting ways, reports Craig Mish of SportsGrid (Twitter link). The 61-year-old had served as a high-ranking member of the Miami front office for the past five seasons.

Denbo came over the Yankees in October 2017, part of a broader organizational overhaul. He was hired just months after Jeffrey Loria sold the franchise to Bruce Sherman’s and Derek Jeter’s ownership group. Jeter was plenty familiar with Denbo from their overlapping stints in New York, and the latter served as a key piece of the franchise’s rebuild over the past few seasons.

Jeter, of course, left the Miami organization in February. Sherman remains on hand as the principal owner, while general manager Kim Ng was tabbed to head baseball operations during the 2020-21 offseason. Considering Jeter’s role in bringing Denbo aboard in the first place, it’s not especially surprising they departed within a few months of one another. Nevertheless, Denbo stepping down will leave a notable hole to fill in the scouting and player development realms.

    He was Jeter’s right-hand person, so that probably didn’t help. The Marlins farm improved under him, and a number of his players are now helping the big club.

        Maybe Jeter was right. We should’ve signed Castellanos. He would’ve been a great Closer…oh wait.

          Every serious baseball history book and probably the hall of fame itself will make mention of it.

          But probably not European history, world history, or even American history books.

          To be fair, the sport of baseball as a whole might only get a paragraph or two in a modern American history book.

          So I agree that ‘not many’ history books will mention it, but that’s pretty much not saying anything meaningful.

      Well, she signed your best starter, who just happens to be the best pitcher in the league right now, to a dirt cheap 5 year deal, got you Joey Wendle and Jesus Luzardo for nothing, for starters. Saying she has done nothing good for the team is plain ignorant. This is coming from and A’s fan who could care less about the Marlins.

    The Marlins need a complete rebuild. Kim Ng has been terrible (I wanted her to succeed but unfortunately she didn’t); a GM who lets the team go into the season with no Closer deserves to be fired. Mattingly was a great player but lousy mgr, & team will never win with him. Problem is that the owner doesn’t care & neither does Miami Sports media. Miami fans expect nothing & that’s what they get.

      Anyone who thinks of replying that they just had a Rebuild is correct; except it was not a true rebuild, it was another Marlins Fire Sale. Look how little of value they got for Stanton, Yelich, Realmuto, Ozuna, etc. This is Year 5 of the Rebuild. In year 4 the Astros were a playoff winning team. Jeter left because he didn’t want to be associated with a loser. He was right; Miami has a long standing culture of Losing & that’s not easy to change without a real commitment from ownership. The Mets are proving that.

          It’s actually the best and only retort needed to anyone criticizing the Ozuna trade. Gallen/JC was just extra, and you’ve still got Castano as a usable piece.

          Which…. Let me check my notes…. Yes the Ozuna trade was one thing that was mentioned above.

          I’m not even a marlins fan. It’s just baseball.

          Yeah, Sandy Alcantara, Jazz Chisholm (for Zac Gallen who also was part of the Ozuna trade), Sixto Sanchez (when healthy), ridding ourselves of a lot of a bad contract absolutely sucks for us.

          And FYI, Mike ‘Dimwit’ Hill made the Yelich trade. We was pulled off trades after that.

          Denbo made the Stanton trade (thank goodness), and the Realmuto trade.

          If you were interested in the truth, you could easily research the other players involved in the trades yourself.

          So what does that make you?

          @Alex Ligero Don’t let facts get in the way of your effort to show how uninformed you are. Go take another look at the guys that were acquired in those trades. Just Alcantara and Jazz (by extension for Zac Gallen also in the Ozuna trade) was excellent return. Sixto Sanchez needs to get healthy, but already paid dividends (playoff win) if he doesn’t. Castano has been serviceable. Devers has the jury out on him, but again, getting rid of Stanton’s contract was a win.

          And go ahead and pretend that other trades didn’t happen, like the one that landed Pablo Lopez and the one that landed Jesus Sanchez and the one that landed Bryan de la Cruz….and other moves that are in wait-and-see mode.

        Ya, they did fine on the Ozuna trade. I’d take Sandy and Jazz if the Marlins fans are too fed up with them. We’ll give you Paul DeJong AND Corey Dickerson. You can’t go wrong there.

        The Astros had six consecutive losing seasons prior to rejoining the postseason in 2015 (lost ALDS); then another non playoff year before their 2017 WS ring

        Ng is smartly assembling an increasingly deep pitching roster from Miami down thru A-ball

        The bats have begun and more will follow; but to have “signed a closer” at exorberant price would have been truly foolish baseball

        This club is currently 15th in MLB Runs Scored and will continue to improve as at least two more legit SP are promoted from Jax in next 60 days. 80+ wins (ala the 2015-16 Astros 86 & 84 wins) is certainly not off the table

      Hard to guess how they view him today. Denbo was with the Yankee org a long time, and at various points he had influence, and other times it seems he was stuck to the bottom of someone’s shoe. The Yankees completely revamped their minor league drafting and development over the last few years. Talent evaluators have to buy into all pieces of it, which is heavily model and analytics driven. Denbo is used to running the show and calling the shots on development. He wouldn’t get that with the Yankees. Unless Cashman is a big fan of his and brings him on for counsel, my guess is Denbo will not get a second act with the Yankees.

        It’ll be interesting to see what comments leak out over the next few weeks about why Denbo is leaving Miami. There were rumblings when he took the job that he had a very abrasive personality and that his runway was over in NY.

    They hardly make them like Alcantara any more. Tonight was like watching an old school Ace. He gave up 3 runs, but went the distance for the win. That’s the kind of Ace I like…not these 6 or 7 inning Aces who look to pass the ball to a flawed reliever, that people praise now.
