Pitchers and catchers have already reported to Los Angeles Dodgers Spring Training, where the organization begins their quest to repeat as World Series champions.
The Dodgers have been in the news seemingly ever since they celebrated their eighth World Series win, signing high-priced free agents like Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki to an already stacked pitching staff. Yet, the Dodgers aren’t done adding more pieces to their roster.

Clayton Kershaw returns to Los Angeles Dodgers, signing imminent
The Los Angeles Dodgers shouldn’t have any shortage of depth when it comes to their starting rotation throughout the 2025 MLB season.
Blake Snell, Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow will make up the Dodgers’ top four starting pitchers, but now there’s another candidate added to the list.
According to ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez, future Hall of Famer and Dodgers legend Clayton Kershaw has reported to the team’s facilities and has already agreed to terms on a new contract for the 2025 season.
“Clayton Kershaw is at the Dodgers facility playing catch. He and the Dodgers have agreed to terms on a new contract, per source, though he still has to finish going through his physical.”

Kershaw previously expressed an interest in returning for an 18th season with the Dodgers, but now the move is nearly official. The soon-to-be 37-year-old was limited to just seven starts last season, so there’s no telling what type of role the Dodgers have in mind, but it’s clear they want Kershaw to be involved.
