The Colorado Rockies are searching for additional power in their lineup as the 2026 season progresses, with analysts suggesting free agents Joc Pederson and Josh Bell as potential solutions to the team's home run deficit.
A May 19 game at Coors Field between the Rockies and Texas Rangers highlighted the need, with Pederson — then serving as the Rangers' designated hitter — recording a single in the fifth inning. The Rockies' offense has struggled to generate consistent power at their home park, prompting speculation about offseason acquisitions.
Both Pederson and Bell have demonstrated home run capability in their careers and could provide the middle-of-the-order presence Colorado has lacked. Neither player was under contract with the Rockies as of early November 2026.
