Dodgers, Clayton Kershaw Agree On Reunion
2 years agoThe Los Angeles Dodgers and left-hander Clayton Kershaw are in agreement on a one-year deal thought to be worth close to $20 million for the 2023 season. The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported Thursday night that the two sides were close to a reunion, and now it appears to be official. The future Hall of Famer had a strong 2.28 ERA with 137 strikeouts in 126 1/3 innings pitched in the regular season after signing a one-year, $17 million deal before the 2022 season. The 34-year-old southpaw missed time with back and pelvis injuries, and although he continues to pitch well when healthy, fantasy managers can't ignore his lengthy injury history in recent seasons when considering drafting him next spring. Kershaw hasn't made 30 starts since 2015, and he hasn't reached 130 innings in either of the last two years.
