<\/p>\n

Three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw has decided not to take the $10 million player option offered by the Los Angeles Dodgers, choosing to become a free agent instead.<\/p>\n

The MLB Players Association confirmed Kershaw\u2019s free agent status in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\n

Although he is now a free agent, it is expected that Kershaw will re-sign with the Dodgers, the only team he has played for during his 17-year career.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old pitcher was injured for a large part of last season, finishing with a 2-2 record and a 4.50 ERA over seven starts.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers also picked up the $5 million option for infielder Miguel Rojas and a $3.5 million option for catcher Austin Barnes.<\/p>\n

Barnes is the second-longest tenured Dodgers player, having played 10 seasons with the team, behind only Kershaw.<\/p>\n

Rojas, 35, just completed one of his best seasons in his 11-year career, with a .283 batting average, six home runs, and 36 RBIs. Barnes finished the season with a .264 average, one home run, and 11 RBIs.<\/p>\n

In addition, Los Angeles extended a $21.05 million qualifying offer to outfielder Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez, who hit a career-high 33 home runs.<\/p>\n

Hern\u00e1ndez has until 4 p.m. EST on November 19 to decide whether to accept the offer.<\/p>\n

If Hern\u00e1ndez accepts, he will be under contract with the Dodgers for another year.<\/p>\n

If he declines and signs with a different team, that team will need to give up at least one draft pick, and the Dodgers will receive at least one draft pick as compensation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
