We were just talking about this. first year. $5 million plus up to 7.5 mil in incentives. 12.5 max. Very team friendly IMO. I had guessed what. 10 for half a season? Shoot, only if he's healthy will he get that.
Next year 2025 is basically a million a start up to $25 million. They have all sorts of clauses, but that's it in a nutshell.
Here are the deets.
Clayton Kershaw’s New Deal With Dodgers Could Reach $37.5M Over Two Years (msn.com)
Basically it's 5 milion a year plus bonuses based on appearances. And that's fair. If he is done, then it costs LA 5 mil a year, which he's worth in goodwill. If he performs, great. He's done after 2 more years anyway. No way that body holds up as a productive starter beyond 2025. It also gives him a chance to ride coattails and pick up a ring or two. Which he deserves. He got them to the Series 3 times, and won 1-2 since the As-hos cheated. And if he gravy trains another 1-2 then perfect. he can claim 2-3. He did his job to get them a couple and got only 1. Someone else can carry him to another.
Kind of like what happened with Elway
