Clayton Kershaw is reportedly close to returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers for his 16th season.
Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the three-time National League Cy Young winner is "nearing" an agreement on a one-year deal with the Dodgers.
It's not a surprise that Kershaw apparently decided to remain in Los Angeles. The 34-year-old has spent his entire career with the franchise and doesn't seem like he's ever come close to leaving. They drafted him No. 7 overall in the 2006 MLB draft. He made his big league debut as a 20-year-old midway through the 2008 season.
