Dodgers fans got a little bit of a scare this offseason thinking about a future without Clayton Kershaw. In the final year of his contract, Kershaw had some unsettling words with the LA Times in an article this past month. That article and the words from Kersh made it feel like he could consider retirement after his contract is up.
The good news is that Kershaw was able to clarify some of that today. In a press conference with Dodgers media, the long-time ace said that he intends to keep playing beyond the 2021 season. He also said that he wants to be able to reevaluate on an annual basis.
