""Hopefully we're fortunate enough to get him to work with us," Friedman said on Dodgers Territory. "But it won't be the same, not having him around on a daily basis. ...That was my shameless plug, Kersh, in case you're listening. Come work with us.""
""He mentioned something where I could hang out," Kershaw said. "That's good, man. I don't know what that looks like. But this is a special organization. They don't need me to win World Series. That's obvious. But if there's anything I can do in the future to be part of it, be around it, I hope that's the case. "I think first and foremost is for me to have this fifth kid and be a dad for awhile. I don't think there's any full-time jobs in my immediate future.""
Andrew Friedman extended an invitation for Clayton Kershaw to work with the Los Angeles Dodgers after Kershaw retired following the 2025 season and was reported to be close to joining NBC for MLB coverage. Friedman said it will feel strange not having Kershaw around daily and publicly invited him back in a part-time or informal capacity. Kershaw acknowledged the offer and expressed willingness to stay connected but emphasized plans to focus on family, welcome a fifth child, and avoid full-time employment for the foreseeable future. Friedman stressed Kershaw's competitive value and leadership despite missed time earlier.
