Lets sign Kershaw to a 10 year deal. Why not?
At this stage of his career he is year to year.

What is the LA pitching problem now:
Health
Playoff performance
Kershaw doesn't help with either of those does he?
They need healthy pitchers who can pitch well in the playoffs. I am shocked you don't see that. Are you comfortable with Kershaw in Game 4. Yes sor no?
Because the Dodgers roster is just filled to the brim with those. Kershaw's one of the only starters that even made it to the postseason, aside from Miller/Lynn and a bunch of unproven rookies. Urias decided to be a piece of shit and may never throw another MLB pitch, Gonsolin had TJS, May had TJS for the 92912214th time, and Buehler had surgery over a year ago and was rehabbing in AAA.
I am clearly being sarcastic...Who the fuck would give a 35-year-old pitcher a ten year deal, even if they were durable?
Yep, right now they have:And as it stands, the Dodgers don't really have much of a rotation going into Opening Day 2024. Even if you can't depend on Kershaw in a postseason game, the Dodgers still need quality innings to get them to the postseason in the first place.

Kershaw is hurt at various points each year. Again, I love the man as a Dodgers fan.
The problem is that Friedman needs to focus on health and the playoffs. Friedman builds the best regular season teams in the game, but they can fold like lawn chairs in the playoffs. He needs to blend in established talent with the farm system instead of just relying on rookies. He also needs to be more active at the deadline.
I can see a trade, yes.I think they'd be much better off trying to pry starters in their arb years from another team than free agency. Even the more durable starters on the market have some real concerns (Giolito's sucked in 2022-23 and gives up too many home runs, Nola's 2021 and 2023 aren't good though the Phillies have had some rather bad defensive teams)

Who is talking next year?Game 1 proved my point.
The hero worship needs to stop. I am interested in what Kershaw can do...not what he has done. He is a HOF pitcher...but those days are gone and anyone can see that.
It's time to move on and I think Friedman knows this. They need that 20 million to sign pitchers who are healthy and who can pitch in the playoffs. Giving Kershaw the Wainwright treatment will not help the organization.
They sure as heck didn't.And as it stands, the Dodgers don't really have much of a rotation going into Opening Day 2024. Even if you can't depend on Kershaw in a postseason game, the Dodgers still need quality innings to get them to the postseason in the first place.
DisagreeWho is talking next year?
This is a discussion about this year’s playoffs. The doggies can’t fix the roster in the next week. They have what they have. And ‘shaw is at the top of their rotation.
Totally missed the point. Either through your inability to read or you intentional wiggling. “At the top” does not exclusively mean #1 in the playoffs. He is one of the doggies starters. Period.Disagree
Miller is the top of the rotation...roberts hasn't realized it yet.
That not what you said. I never said he wasn't a starter on the team. You said he is at the top of the rotation. I disagreed.Totally missed the point.

LOLThat not what you said. I never said he wasn't a starter on the team. You said he is at the top of the rotation. I disagreed.
Why would an Arizona fan care about what a dodger fan thinks about Kershaw?
Weird..
I think he may be in here just trolling....LOL
The level of fail is actually impressive.
