Kershaw Open To Talking Extension
The Dodgers have spent aggressively to acquire players from other
organizations this summer, but at some point in the coming months they could
turn their attention to a player they drafted and developed themselves:
reigning Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw. The left-hander told Dylan
Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times that he would consider a long-term
extension if the Dodgers wish to discuss one.
"Yeah, sure, I'm always open to talks," Kershaw said. "I've had a great time
here. I love the guys and I love everything about L.A."
Last offseason the sides agreed to a two-year, $19MM deal that covers Kershaw
’s first two arbitration seasons (2012-13). They discussed the possibility
of a four-year deal with a fifth year option before settling on two years,
according to Hernandez. The 24-year-old Hendricks Sports client will be
eligible for arbitration one more time following the 2013 season and eligible
for free agency following the 2014 season.
Dodgers GM Ned Colletti said in May that he doesn’t intend to negotiate a
longer deal with Kershaw during the regular season. Since then, the Dodgers
have spent more than $430MM in player acquisitions, Hernandez writes. It won’
t be surprising if Guggenheim Baseball Management, the team’s new ownership
group, works aggressively to keep Kershaw in place long-term.
Kershaw has followed up his Cy Young season with a similarly dominant year.
He leads National League pitchers with 186 2/3 innings, 183 strikeouts and
two shutouts. His ERA has risen but remains under 3.00 at 2.84 and he
continues to limit walks (2.1 BB/9). At this point in Kershaw’s career, he
seems well-positioned to obtain a contract worth in excess of $100MM.

书僮说 : 从现在开始可以跟我谈延长合约的事情了
去年年底为了避免走上仲裁庭 而与球队签下 2 年 19 M 的书僮
加上去年又勇夺国联 CYA 的殊荣 所以球队有意想要留下他作为未来的基石
虽说最近球队大肆疯狂的找人入队进来 不过在未来这一段时间会把注意力转向他身上
今年到现在为止主投 186.2 局 12 - 7 ERA 2.84 SO 183 都是全队第一
不过随着 Cole Hamels 的 6 年 144 M 合约落定 他的未来新合约也势必会
水涨船高 有人预估他的新合约至少上看 100 M 起跳 不过新老板有的是钱
这部分就有待宾主双方如何去洽谈搓商了
