Rangers sign veteran center Luke Glendening to 1-year contract

The New York Rangers ink veteran center Luke Glendening to a one‑year, $850,000 standard contract on Oct. 22, 2026—just three days after a PTO. The 37‑year‑old, a 13‑season NHL regular with 934 games, is expected to slot in as the fourth‑line center, bolstering depth after Joe Veleno’s lower‑body injury sidelined him for at least three months. Coach Mike Sullivan praises Glendening’s face‑off skill (55.6% career rate, 57.2% last season) and penalty‑kill reliability. He replaces short‑term fills like rookie Cole Beaudoin and veteran Justin Dowling.

Grading the 2026 Twins: Infielders

Twinkie Town grades the 2026 Minnesota Twins' infield and catchers in part two of its season review. Josh Bell, acquired as a steady veteran, posted a modest .255/.319/.419 line with 21 homers and 96 RBI but saw a career‑low walk rate and defensive struggles, earning a B‑ grade. Young shortstop‑turned‑third‑baseman Brooks Lee posted career highs (.253/.300/.428, 24 HR, 2.8 fWAR) and a Gold Glove nod, earning a B+ for his defensive excellence and solid, if unspectacular, offense. Utility man Kody Clemens led the team with 27 homers, delivering a B+ after a versatile year across first, outfield and second base. Royce Lewis slumped after a brief resurgence, finishing with a .227 line, low wRC+, and a B‑grade, highlighting the need for offensive upgrades. The article details each player's plate appearances, stats, and future outlook.
