Clayton Kershaw, Dodgers Extend Deadline for Opt-Out Decision

Starter Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to extend the deadline on his opt-out option until Friday at 4 p.m. ET, the team announced Wednesday.

Kershaw, 30, has two years and $65 million remaining on his contract. If he opts out, Kershaw will hit free agency for the first time in his career.

The Dodgers are reportedly interested in keeping Kershaw on terms different than what is left on his contract, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi.

The three-time Cy Young Award winner recorded a 2.73 ERA during the 2018 regular season.
