As pitchers and catchers reported to spring training last Wednesday, the media also converged on Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona, to get their first access to the Dodgers in a baseball setting since October. One of the most popular media targets was future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw, whose future with the team was in question when he went home to Texas after LA’s NLDS loss.
But Kershaw is back on another one-year contract for his 16th season with Los Angeles. One of the big topics of conversation in the locker room was the loss of Justin Turner and Cody Bellinger in free agency, among others.
