Clayton Kershaw has announced that he will return for the 2025 MLB season, marking his 18th year in the league. The three-time Cy Young Award winner, who is just 32 strikeouts away from reaching 3,000 career strikeouts, made the announcement on the Fox pregame show. Kershaw, who had shoulder surgery last offseason and was limited to seven starts in 2024 due to injuries, stated that he feels great mentally and physically. He emphasized his commitment to the Dodgers, expressing his intention to continue his career with the team he has been with since the beginning.
