The Dodgers announced they have re-signed pitcher Clayton Kershaw to a one-year deal worth $20 million for the 2023 season.
The veteran starter was a free agent for the second straight season but decided to stay in Los Angeles as he prepares to enter his 16th year with the team. Last season, Kershaw made 22 starts with a 2.28 ERA on his way to the ninth All-Star appearance of his career. However, he battled injuries throughout the year.
Kershaw said he prefers short-term deals at this stage in his career so he can have more control over where he lands.
