Cubs Season Ends in Humiliating Sweep by Padres

The Chicago Cubs' 2026 season ended abruptly with a 4-1 loss to the San Diego Padres in Game 2 of the National League Wild Card Series, resulting in a 2-0 sweep. The Cubs' offense, which had been a highlight of the regular season, failed to produce, managing only eight hits and one run across the entire series. Key players like Pete Crow-Armstrong and Alex Bregman went 0-for-15 combined, while Nico Hoerner was the only consistent performer with four hits. The loss marks the end of a season defined by extreme highs and lows, with the team now facing a difficult offseason to rebuild.

Cubs Weigh Nico Hoerner Extension as Free-Agency Looms

The Cubs are weighing a long‑term extension for Nico Hoerner after his career year, but a deal may be delayed as his impending free agency raises the price tag and payroll questions. Ken Rosenthal framed Hoerner as a test of the Cubs’ willingness to spend, and while a Peters Crow-Armstrong extension could be more likely, Chicago is also considering internal options (like Matt Shaw and Jefferson Rojas) as possible replacements. No immediate Hoerner extension is expected this week.
