"Kershaw reached out to a pair of young Dodgers pitchers. The left-hander had championed Emmet Sheehan since he was an ascendant rookie in 2023, and now Sheehan had returned from Tommy John surgery and was thriving."
"Jack Dreyer had gone from undrafted to unheralded to one of the best relievers on a superteam as a rookie. Both players planned to stay at a hotel for the rest of the season, until Kershaw, whom they greatly admired, offered them a place to stay."
Clayton Kershaw, in his final season, hosted young Dodgers pitchers Emmet Sheehan and Jack Dreyer at his home during the postseason. The Dodgers faced an injury crisis, leading to the emergence of these two pitchers. Sheehan, a highly regarded talent, and Dreyer, an undrafted player, both overcame challenges to contribute to the team's success. Kershaw, a veteran presence, aimed to assist the next generation of pitchers as he approached retirement, showcasing his commitment to the team and its future.
