Read excerpt
SAN DIEGO — Dansby Swanson fought and failed to keep himself composed. Swanson wasn’t the only one struggling in the visitors clubhouse at Petco Park with the weight that he might have played his last game with the Cubs’ longest-tenured player. The team’s early exit from the playoffs with a 4-1 loss to the Padres in Game 2 of their National League wild-card series Wednesday brought a harsh reality in the postgame clubhouse.

SAN DIEGO — Major League Baseball’s best offense in the regular season will be watching the rest of the playoffs from home. After a season defined by extreme highs and lows, the Chicago Cubs played from behind in all but one inning and were swept in a National League wild-card series against the San Diego Padres with a 4-1 loss Wednesday night. Four Cubs pitchers — Kevin Gausman, Daniel Palencia, David Peterson and Ryan Zeferjahn — kept the Padres in check enough to give the offense a chance. Th

Their postseason turned into a nightmare almost immediately in the Cubs’ 8-0 loss in which they were held to three hits during Game 1 of the wild-card series Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. “You never want to play from behind,” manager Craig Counsell said. “It means you’ve got to score, and we didn’t score. There’s nothing more than that really.” Matthew Boyd typically

SAN DIEGO — The Chicago Cubs have been weighing the risk of playing Alex Bregman at third base the last few days. Manager Craig Counsell ultimately erred on the side of caution. Bregman, 10 days removed from sustaining facial fractures in his left cheek from a foul ball, will be the Cubs’ designated hitter Tuesday night in Game 1 of their wild-card series against the San Diego Padres. Bregman has been taking grounders at third base the last few days and reported feeling good. “I played it safe,
