Cody Bellinger Reacts to Clayton Kershaw’s Retirement From Dodgers

Former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger heaped praise on Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw after the veteran announced his retirement at the end of the 2025 season.

Bellinger began his MLB career with the Dodgers, serving as Kershaw’s teammate from 2017-22.

“He was a big part of that team and all our teams,’’ Bellinger said. “The way he carries himself. I sat back, watched and learned: This is what it’s supposed to look like. When he took the ball every fifth day, he had a presence. He was the hardest working dude in the room.
