The Los Angeles Dodgers' roster won't be the same without Clayton Kershaw, but after 18 years in the majors (two decades in LA's system overall) making up a first-ballot and maybe even unanimous Hall of Fame election, the guy deserves as much rest as he wants to get.
After the season, Kershaw revealed that the Dodgers had offered him an opportunity to join the front office in some capacity, but he turned it down to enjoy his retirement and spend some time with his family (the Kershaws just welcomed their fifth child).
However, he might reenter the spotlight sooner rather than later.
