The Los Angeles Dodgers and franchise legend Clayton Kershaw have reportedly agreed to terms on a contract for the 2025 season, which will be the decorated left-hander's 18th in the majors and with the Dodgers.

Yet, Kershaw did not hesitate to come back. His one-year, $7.5 million deal (plus incentives for games started and time on the active roster) ties him with Zack Wheat and Bill Russell for the most seasons (18) in Dodgers franchise history.

The 36-year-old southpaw expects to go on the 60-day injured list following offseason foot and knee surgery, but hopes to be close to ready when eligible to be activated.
