Kershaw Isn't The Guy Anymore...

He's going to be a FA in 72 hours. Is someone going to give him a 4-5 year deal at 25-30mil per? Probably if their TV set was down for the playoffs.

^^^^^^^^^ He will stay with the Doyers. Whne all is said and done he will have a 4-year deal for North of $100M. Maybe around $110-$120ish

Makes sense, translated, he won't opt out. In today's market a pitcher that can chew up 4-5 innings and keep it close is worth 12-15mil per.

Technically I think he "Opts Out" and then immediately signs a new 4-year deal instead of adding on 2 more. Semantics but same thing.

I can't wait for a agent to go into arbitration/negotiations and say lookie what the market is for a #2 guy.

.........and Kershaw knows it which is why he will NOT "opt out" of the last 2 years of his deal. If he does he is GONE - and he knows it. He stays, gets his $35M-ish/year for 2 more years. If he think he is getting a 5-year deal after that - good luck. Some stupid team might offer it but not the Doyers. After 2020 I can see LA giving him a 2-3 year deal for maybe $35M but nothing more then it is up to him to decide what to do.

Buehler is clearly #1 although Kershaw will start Opening Day 2019

Could you be right at least one time?

Kershaw's back is pain-free for the first time in four seasons.

Decent Kershaw but far from old Kershaw. LAD better hope Ryu can beat Scherzer GM3 or they're in trouble with Strasburg GM5 & Scherzer out of the pen.

Pollack lead off last night flailing away and Roberts puts him 3rd tonight. You gotta wonder, present form is AAA, so who cares about historical trends.

Wasn’t the whole premise of Roberts being the manager is the front office basically making his lineups out for him based on metrics?

Roberts is a quota hire due to affirmative action, feminism, and liberal policies from the Obama administration
