Kershaw Reaches Record Deal With Dodgers
Updated: January 15, 2014, 6:06 PM ET By Ramona Shelburne | ESPNLosAngeles.com


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 and a Roberto Clemente award for his charitable work.

Wondering if this takes the Dodgers out of contention for Tanaka?

Rangers fans were hoping he'd be a FA next year. Oh well.

Kershaw is not only a phenom pitcher, but a good guy as well.
Congrats to him
