00:03 Clayton Kershaw's last year in the MLB?

00:12 Clayton Kershaw has been absolutely dominant in his 16th year in the league, but a recent
00:16 shoulder issue has really lowered his velocity and affected his command.
00:20 He's finally shown signs of being the age veteran, and it's making tons of Dodger fans
00:23 wonder if this will be his final year for the Dodgers.
00:26 Towards the end of the year, Kershaw has only been able to go at most five innings and heading
00:29 into the postseason, it seems like that's all the Dodgers are going to get out of him.
00:33 While he's done a great job of limiting the damage and keeping his ERA around 2.50, it's
00:37 easy to wonder if this will be his last year considering a whole nother offseason and a
00:41 whole nother year might take a toll on his ailing shoulder.
00:44 Regarding that Kershaw question, Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman recently
00:48 caught up with his Sportsnet LA crew and said, "I'm not allowing my brain to go there.
00:52 I don't accept that Kersh isn't going to be right in the middle of it all through this
00:55 October.
00:57 Next year, I don't accept it until he says it's time, so I'm operating like he's going
01:01 to be here and a big part of what we do."
01:04 For the last few years, Kershaw has been doing these one-year deals so he can enter the offseason
01:07 with an open mind and decide if it's truly time for him to call it quits.
01:11 This offseason won't be any different, but there's definitely a little added fear as
01:14 Dodger fans are starting to feel the end of what could be Kershaw's incredible career.
01:18 We don't have to worry about any of that yet, because all we have to think about now is
01:22 the postseason and the Dodgers winning Kershaw another World Series ring.
