""I know he's saying it and I know it's kind of a reality, but I still don't know that I believe it," Muncy said. "For as long as I've been here, it's been 22. It's a weird day, kind of a strange day. "But at the end of the day, it's one of the best careers that we've ever seen. For me personally, having gotten to play behind him for eight, nine years now, it's truly a blessing to be able to witness that.""
""To me, he's just always been the guy that sets the example," Muncy said. "He shows up, he gets his work in, he's going to work as hard as he possibly can and he's going to leave it all out there. "When that's over, he's going to have some fun, he's going to joke around, he's going to keep guys light but he's also going to keep guys focused on the game.""
Clayton Kershaw, a native of Dallas, Texas, pitched 18 seasons for the Los Angeles Dodgers and will retire after the 2025 season at age 37. Kershaw described the decision as something he is at peace with and not sad about. Postseason roster status remains uncertain because of a surplus of starting pitching, though Dodgers manager Dave Roberts envisions a scenario that includes Kershaw on the 26-man postseason roster. Max Muncy has been Kershaw's longest-tenured active teammate, joining in 2018 and praising Kershaw's career, leadership, work ethic, and influence on teammates. Freddie Freeman had numerous on-field battles against Kershaw.
