Clayton Kershaw did not get the storybook ending in red, white and blue that many were hoping for.
Following Team USA’s 5–3 win over Canada in the World Baseball Classic quarterfinals Friday night, Kershaw was replaced on the U.S. roster by Blue Jays reliever Jeff Hoffman. It marks an official end to Kershaw’s career on the mound after the future Hall of Famer announced his retirement from MLB last fall.
