Other Sports Kershaw lands 7 years and $215 million - Page 10

**The Franchise** · 01-15-2014, 08:36 PM

The*Los Angeles Dodgers*and*Clayton Kershaw*have agreed on a seven-year, $215 million deal, sources with knowledge of the situation said.

Kershaw has an out clause after five years.

It is the richest deal for a pitcher in Major League Baseball history, eclipsing the seven-year, $180 million contract Detroit gave*Justin Verlander*last winter, and his average annual salary of $30.7 million is the highest ever for any baseball player.

The 25-year-old Kershaw has won two of the last three National League Cy Young Awards, as well as a Roberto Clemente award for his charitable work.

Kershaw and his wife, Ellen, founded an orphanage in the African nation of Zambia called Hope's Home that they visit every offseason. They co-wrote a book about their experiences last winter titled, "Arise: Live Out Your Faith and Dreams on Whatever Field You Find Yourself."

Kershaw went 16-9 with a 1.83 ERA and 232 strikeouts last season, his sixth with the Dodgers. The left-hander has a 2.60 career ERA and recorded at least 212 strikeouts in each of the past four seasons.

Would have been the right choice for the Royals too.

Kershaw ends his season at...

21-3 with a 1.77 era. 4th straight ERA title and it should be 4th straight Cy Young too. 3 of 4 isnt bad though.

Tonight he went 8 innings 8 hits 1 er 0BB and a rbi triple at the plate.

**The Franchise** · 09-24-2014, 11:19 PM

NL West Champs!

**** the Giants.

The final score doesn't tell the story of the game. Clayton struggled early as he did last week vs Chicago. He then had the big hit of the game that drove the offense. That was a momentum changer.

MVP!!! Kobe style!

Puig is also turning it on. Two big throws two nights in a row! Home Run didn't hurt either.

The cable network finally let all of So Cal watch all of the games. It is great to hear Vin, At 82 he still does Play By Play and Color. Awesome!

Classy move by Boch, Righetti and another SF Coach to stay at the rail and tip their hats when the Dodgers celebrated the win.

Still not good enough to start an All Star game.

Those 41 straight shut out innings before this years All Star Game was off the hook.

Wainwright at the time deserved to start though . his first half was amazing.

Peyton Kershaw?

Can't show up to a postseason game apparently.

Real gutty playoff performance by the NL MVP

Glad this was bumped. He's a failure until he does something in post season. What a tool, 0-4 vs one team when it counts.

Trout and Kershaw embarrassed LA this week.
