Being a catcher for a competitor and beast like Clayton Kershaw doesn’t seem all that easy according to Austin Barnes. Barnes entered the major leagues with the Dodgers back in 2015 meanwhile Kershaw has spent the entirety of his career as a starting pitcher for Los Angeles since 2008.
However, after the 2022 season ended, the three time Cy Young award winner became a free agent. Rumors swirled about where Kersh would end up but I think a part of us always knew he would return in Dodger blue.
After the news was made official last week, Barnes shared his thoughts with SportsNet LA about the All-Star’s return to LA and described a little bit about their relationship on the field over the past 7 seasons.
