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.

書僮說 : 從現在開始可以跟我談延長合約的事情了
去年年底為了避免走上仲裁庭 而與球隊簽下 2 年 19 M 的書僮
加上去年又勇奪國聯 CYA 的殊榮 所以球隊有意想要留下他作為未來的基石
雖說最近球隊大肆瘋狂的找人入隊進來 不過在未來這一段時間會把注意力轉向他身上
今年到現在為止主投 186.2 局 12 - 7 ERA 2.84 SO 183 都是全隊第一
不過隨著 Cole Hamels 的 6 年 144 M 合約落定 他的未來新合約也勢必會
水漲船高 有人預估他的新合約至少上看 100 M 起跳 不過新老闆有的是錢
這部分就有待賓主雙方如何去洽談搓商了
