Will the LA Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw (35) be able to be together in the future?
MLB.com, the official major league media, said on the 13th (hereinafter Korean time), “The Dodgers always know that the offseason is important. “However, I had no idea that the season would end so early, losing 2-4 to Arizona in Game 3 of the National League Division Series on the 12th,” he said, announcing the Dodgers’ start to the offseason. 메이저놀이터
The biggest issue facing the Dodgers is whether to renew Clayton Kershaw’s contract. Kershaw achieved good results this season with 13 wins, 5 losses, and an average ERA of 2.46 in 24 games (131⅔ innings). However, he went out as a starting pitcher in Game 1 of the most important National League Division Series, but collapsed with a loss, allowing 6 hits (1 home run), 1 walk, and 6 runs in ⅓ innings. MLB.com harshly commented, “This will undoubtedly go down as one of Kershaw’s worst games.”

Kershaw, the Dodgers’ franchise ace, has recently been keeping a close track with the Dodgers. MLB.com said, “Kershaw was honest in deciding his future on a year-by-year basis. He debated whether or not to return to the Dodgers after the 2021 season, but ultimately signed a one-year contract with the Dodgers in March. “I had a healthy season last winter, agreed to a one-year contract with the Dodgers, and wasted no time in re-signing,” he explained Kershaw’s progress over the past two years.
“But this season is different,” pointed out MLB.com, “Kershaw finished the season with difficulty due to a left shoulder injury that was always more serious than expected. “He took a big hit in Game 1 of the Division Series,” he said, highlighting Kershaw’s anxiety factors.

“I’m not sure,” Kershaw said of this winter. Personally, what is clear is that the season ended in the worst possible way. But that’s not ultimately important. I just didn’t help the team win. In the future, we will continue to find the best process. I really don’t know what it is. “I’m just watching the situation,” he said.
MLB.com said, “Kershaw has said in the past that he makes his decision based on how healthy he is to finish the season and whether he is willing to risk being away from his family, who live in Texas. “There are a lot of unknowns, but only Kershaw knows,” he said. He explained that he does not know exactly what decision Kershaw will make, but added, “It will either end in one more year in Texas or LA, or the retirement of the best pitcher the Dodgers have ever had.” predicted the future /fpdlsl72556@osen.co.kr
