General Manager Tom Denlinger to depart Hudson Valley Renegades

Wappingers Falls, N.Y. (Sept. 23, 2026) – Tom Denlinger, General Manager of the Hudson Valley Renegades, will be leaving the organization to become President of the Charlotte Knights, the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox.

Denlinger joined the Renegades in 2025 following 10 seasons with the Augusta GreenJackets, where he served as General Manager from 2014-2017 before being elevated to Vice President. During his two seasons in Hudson Valley, Denlinger helped lead the organization through continued growth and community engagement at Heritage Financial Park.

The Renegades’ 2026 season featured a robust slate of creative programming and community-focused experiences, including a unique theme for every home game. Highlights included “An Ode to Cream Cheese,” celebrating the Hudson Valley origins of the popular food; “Renegades: The Musical!”; a farewell weekend for the club’s iconic Cider Donuts identity; an expanded five-game Bark in the Park giveaway series; Seinfeld Night; and the launch of the Silver ‘Gades Club for fans 55 and older. The club also celebrated welcoming its five millionth fan to Heritage Financial Park during the season.

“I’m incredibly grateful for my time with the Renegades and for the opportunity to be part of the Hudson Valley community,” said Denlinger. “I’m proud of what our staff has accomplished together and grateful to our fans, partners and community for making these two seasons so memorable. I’m excited for the opportunity ahead in Charlotte and will always appreciate my time with the Renegades.”

The Renegades will announce plans for the club’s next General Manager in the coming weeks.
