Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw is slated for free agency following the 2014 campaign after signing a two-year deal to avoid arbitration prior to this season. The timing may be right, however, for something long-term, something he says he's always open to discussing.
Considering Kershaw's age, production and his status as a pending free agent, the defending Cy Young winner is likely in line to exceed Cole Hamels' recent deal and perhaps even CC Sabatahia's record for pitchers, which stands at seven years and $161 million.
There's no urgency to get anything done this winter, but over the course of the next year or so the two sides are likely to get serious about a long-term solution.
