The 2026 Rockies appear poised to win more games than they did the past couple seasons, but realistically, they are only fighting to avoid 100 losses. That’s improvement, but the season is clearly a transitional one attempting to set the stage for a more exciting future.
Given that, let’s imagine a world where we could magically have any player don a Rockies uniform for the rest of the season.
If you could add any one player to the 2026 Rockies roster, with the sole purpose of making them more fun
to watch despite knowing that they aren’t playoff bound, who would it be?
Some rules for this:
- This player could not be kept beyond this season. They’d be returned to their actual team next year.
- The Rockies couldn’t trade this player in order to try and get long-term value from them.
- This should be an active player. No picking Babe Ruth just to see if he could adjust to 100+ mph velocity.
With all that being said, who would you most enjoy seeing in a Rockies uniform the rest of the season?
Is it an MVP candidate able to make more games close and tense? Maybe you have a sentimental favorite that you’d just like to see in the purple pinstripes again? Perhaps you are just curious about what effect playing home games at Coors would have on someone in particular?
