Kershaw, now retired, spoke about his daughter’s arrival earlier in the offseason, and said being with his kids is his first priority for the time being.
“I think first and foremost is for me to have this fifth kid and be a dad for awhile,” he said when talking about a position with the Dodgers in the future. “I don’t think there’s any full-time jobs in my immediate future.”
Kershaw spent 18 seasons with the Dodgers, winning three Cy Youngs, three World Series, an MVP and a Gold Glove to go with his 11 All-Star selections.
He made 23 appearances in 2025, posting a 3.36 ERA through 112.2 innings. Kershaw also played for the Dodgers in the postseason, and was on the roster for the Dodgers’ second consecutive World Series championship last season. He reached 3,000 career strikeouts in July, and is a surefire inclusion into the Hall of Fame once eligible.
Dodgers Nation wishes Kershaw the best in retirement and offers them its congratulations on their new addition to the family.
