You’ve been wondering, we’ve been wondering, the baseball world has been wondering. What’s going on with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw? The left-hander is slated for free agency after 2021 and it feels bizarre that he’s going into the season without a new contract.
This is different from last time, too. Kershaw had an opt-out clause that he exercised before the two sides agreed to a three-year, $93 million extension. Now, there’s nothing. And the Dodgers just made a blockbuster move by bringing in starter Trevor Bauer and haven’t addressed Kershaw’s situation.
