"In the waning days of Kershaw's career, Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman approached him with an offer to stick around as a member of the baseball operations department. Kershaw was flattered by the offer. "I don't think I have any full-time jobs in my future," he said. "Except full-time dad." Kershaw and wife Ellen are expecting a fifth child this winter, so the longtime Dodgers ace is rightfully focused on his family."
"Clayton Kershaw closed the book on a Hall of Fame career with the Los Angeles Dodgers by winning the 2025 World Series in his final season as a player. The left-hander previously announced his plans to retire after 18 legendary seasons in which he established himself as one of the greatest pitchers in franchise history. Kershaw owns multiple records and won just about every accolade possible to go along with three World Series titles."
Clayton Kershaw finished his Hall of Fame career by winning the 2025 World Series in his final season and retired after 18 seasons. He set multiple franchise records and accumulated nearly every major pitching accolade, including three World Series titles. Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman offered him a role in baseball operations, which Kershaw declined to prioritize family. Kershaw and his wife Ellen are expecting a fifth child this winter. He could return to the Dodgers later in a front-office role or as a special advisor and may make occasional appearances and help during Spring Training.
