In the latest sign that the earth is still spinning, Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers have determined that they belong together.
Wednesday was the original deadline for Kershaw to exercise the opt-out in his seven-year, $215 million contract. The ace left-hander and the Dodgers agreed to push the deadline to Friday afternoon, and they reached a new deal just in time.
According to Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports, it's a three-year, $93 million agreement with incentives and no opt-out:
