The details of the opt-out were as follows: Kershaw had three days from the conclusion of the World Series to decide on whether or not he would continue his time in Los Angeles. The decision was a tough one as it came with three options for the pitcher who has played in Los Angeles for the last decade. First, he could pick up the option good for the next two seasons and worth a monstrous $65 million. Second, Kershaw and the Dodgers had the opportunity to negotiate an extension, voiding the opt-out and keeping Kershaw in LA for at least one more season (it will probably be at least three years if he goes this route).
