Clayton Kershaw’s days in Los Angeles aren’t over.
The Dodgers and Kershaw agreed to a one-year deal Friday, according to a person with knowledge of the situation, to end Kershaw’s first stint as a free agent. The deal will be official once Kershaw passes a physical.
Kershaw wasn’t a guarantee to return to Los Angeles. The left-hander was also seriously considering signing with his hometown Texas Rangers, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation. And yet imagining Kershaw in another uniform was always difficult.
