With 99 days of dead air out of the way, the hot stove rumors are quickly starting to heat up. For the Dodgers, several key free agents remain on the open market as it restarts. Simply put, none of them have a greater history in blue than Clayton Kershaw.
Over the offseason, the rumors involving the future hall of famer have him returning to LA or potentially signing with his hometown Texas Rangers. On Friday, ESPN’s Buster Olney fueled the speculation that the ace would be returning to LA with an afternoon tweet.
Earlier in the day, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts revealed that he hasn’t had a chance to catch up with Kershaw just yet, noting that it would be “very strange” to open camp at Camelback Ranch without the left-hander in the clubhouse.
