Clayton Kershaw, the Dodgers' ace, begins his 2025 season eager to continue his career at 37. Despite contemplating retirement, Kershaw expressed his enjoyment of baseball and a desire for new achievements. He is close to career milestones, particularly 3,000 strikeouts, and aims for more innings before potentially retiring. His current one-year contract includes performance incentives that highlight his readiness to tackle the challenges ahead. Kershaw also aims to experience a full celebration for the successes he's missed due to past circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I don't really understand that question, why not just ride off into the sunset? I'm 37. I have a long time ahead of me. Baseball is fun."
"Kershaw has flirted with the possibility of retirement... he enters this year playing on a one-year deal that guarantees him just $7.5MM, with incentives up to $15MM."
