Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers have reached an agreement that will see the ace stay with the National League champions for another three years for $93 million plus incentives, a source told ESPN.
Kershaw needed to decide whether to exercise his opt-out. He had been owed $65 million over the next two seasons -- the tail end of a seven-year, $215 million extension he signed in 2014.
The 30-year-old left-hander will return to steer a Dodgers rotation that already looks deep, with Walker Buehler, Rich Hill, Alex Wood, Kenta Maeda, Ross Stripling and possibly Julio Urias also part of the mix.
