The Los Angeles Dodgers have had the luxury of future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw’s talents for 18 seasons.
Despite his three Cy Young awards, an MVP, five ERA titles, and countless accolades, he has had a negative narrative surrounding his postseason resume. President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman spoke on how much of the scrutiny from the public should be avoided.
“I think that narrative,” Friedman said, “is so off base. You look at Kersh and the great starts he’s had in October, how much he’s come back on short rest, how much he got left out longer than he should have because bullpens weren’t as good as what people felt like he would do, and left out there longer than you should have.
