<\/p>\nLos Angeles Dodgers legend Clayton Kershaw called it a career after the 2025 season, ending a surefire Hall of Fame career.<\/p>\n
Kershaw became one of the best pitchers MLB has ever seen during his 18-year career, winning an MVP, three World Series, three Cy Young awards, a Gold Glove and receiving 11 All-Star selections. He had a 2.53 ERA throughout his career, which led active players up until his retirement. He threw 2,855.1 innings in the majors, notching 3,052 strikeouts over the course of his career.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Despite his leadership qualities and knowledge, Kershaw has shut down the idea of coaching in his future, per Dodgers Insider.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always kind of downplayed the whole legacy thing,\u201d Kershaw said. \u201cI think baseball legacy will stop. At the end of the day, there\u2019s always going to be somebody bigger, better, stronger, faster that beats all your records, does all your things. So it\u2019s the relationships and what your peers think of you that matter. To the guys in the clubhouse, the guys that you spend every day with, that\u2019s what I want to remember. That\u2019s the opinions that matter to me. And so, I hope I left a good impression.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While coaching is off the table, Kershaw revealed he could make a return to the Dodgers organization, though wants to spend some time away from baseball.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe mentioned something where I could hang out,\u201d Kershaw said of the job offer. \u201cThat\u2019s good, man. I don\u2019t know what that looks like. But this is a special organization. They don\u2019t need me to win World Series. That\u2019s obvious. But if there\u2019s anything I can do in the future to be part of it, be around it, I hope that\u2019s the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think first and foremost is for me to have this fifth kid and be a dad for awhile. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any full-time jobs in my immediate future.\u201d<\/p>\n
