The 2021 season will be a first in many ways for Dodgers fans. It will be the first time they get to see Trevor Bauer in uniform after a mega-deal. The first time they see players wearing electronic contact tracing devices. And unfortunately, the first time that they will watch Clayton Kershaw pitch without a contract guaranteed beyond this year.
Kershaw is entering his age 33 season in the final year of a 3-year deal. He opted out of his last contract in 2018 that had 2 years remaining in order to get another guaranteed year. But as of right now, there have been no conversations with the Dodgers to get him extended beyond this year.
