The Los Angeles Dodgers have re-signed Clayton Kershaw to a one-year contract, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
There was some thought that Kershaw might leave the only team he has ever played for in free agency after not being given a qualifying offer after the season, but in the end, Kershaw will return to the Dodgers for a 15th season. Kershaw finished the 2021 campaign with a 10-8 record, 3.55 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 144 strikeouts in 121.2 innings pitched over 22 starts. The ERA was the worst for Kershaw since his rookie season when he posted an ERA of 4.
