Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw has agreed to a one-year deal to return to the team for the 2022 season.
Reportedly, Kershaw was interested in staying closer to his home in Dallas, Texas by signing with the Rangers. The Rangers hired former Dodgers third base coach Chris Woodward as their manager in 2019 and signed former Dodgers' shortstop Corey Seager to a 10-year, $325 million deal before the lockout began last November. Both admitted to recruiting Kershaw to sign with Texas before the lockout began on Dec. 2.
Instead Kershaw stayed with the only team he's ever known, and fans will certainly be happy about that. Losing Kershaw would have been a substantial disappointment for the Dodgers and their fans, both on the field and off. Even at 33 years old, Kershaw can still bolster a starting rotation that features Walker Buehler, Julio Urias, David Price, Tony Gonsolin, Andrew Heaney, and possiblyKershaw is not only a future Hall of Famer, but a leader in the clubhouse. His veteran presence has been touted by many younger players as someone that leads by example and through his unwavering work ethic.
Now that Kershaw has signed, the Dodgers have other free agents to possibly re-sign like Joe Kelly and Kenley Jansen. Rumors that World Series Champion Atlanta Braves first baseman, Freddie Freeman,"I would love to see Freddie Freeman in a Dodgers uniform," said Roberts about Freeman potentially signing with the Dodgers."He's a heck of a ball player.
