For the second straight year, the Dodgers declined to make a qualifying offer to future Hall of Fame pitcher Clayton Kershaw. When Los Angeles didn’t make a QO to Kershaw last year, health was a major factor — the lefty was coming off a season-ending elbow injury and his future was too uncertain for them to put that kind of pressure on him so early in the offseason.
Kershaw is healthy this year, but Andrew Friedman and Brandon Gomes must have liked the way things turned out last offseason, because they made the same decision.
