Clayton Kershaw Joins The Dodgers At Camelback Ranch
The Dodgers are at their camp, and Kershaw is already playing catch with the team. The 36-year-old is preparing for the upcoming season, hoping to have a strong year ahead. Kershaw is back in the game and will return for his 18th season with the team.
The Dodgers are well aware of Kershaw’s pitching abilities. Having a familiar southpaw pitcher will help the team’s starting rotation. However, it’s important to consider that Clayton Kershaw will have tough competition within his team.
Pitchers like Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be in their prime. Kershaw will need to keep up with the pace, which many believe he can do with ease. It’s a great day for Dodgers fans. On the other hand, Alex Bregman’s rumors continue to take shape.
