Gary Denbo left the New York Yankees and his post as vice president of player development in October for a similar role with the Miami.</p><p>&#8220;I want to say thank you to the New York Yankees for believing in a young kid from upstate New York and giving me a chance to follow my dreams! I will forever be grateful for the opportunity they gave me,&#8221; Culver wrote. &#8220;With that being said I&#8217;m really excited for a new chapter in my life with the Miami Marlins!!! Looking forward to the opportunity to grow with this organization. Extremely humbled to be able to continue following my dreams!! Let&#8217;s go!!!!! #miamimarlins #newchapter.&#8221;</p><p>Culver was a drafted by the Yankees in 2010 out of high school. The Rochester, N.Y. native made it as high as Triple-A, where he had played portions of the last three seasons with the RailRiders.</p><p>The former first rounder played in 103 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this past season, hitting a career-high 12 home runs to pair with a .231 batting average.</p><style>
