November 4, 2024 7:45 PM : Kershaw (toe) became a free agent after declining his player option Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kershaw has publicly stated that he intends to pitch for the Dodgers next season, but he'll officially become a free agent while the two sides work toward a new contract. He made seven starts for LA during the 2024 campaign, posting a 4.50 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 24 strikeouts over 30.0 innings before his season was ended due to bone spurs in his left big toe.
