California, Texas or Retirement: Just about everyone in the baseball world agrees that if Clayton Kershaw doesn’t retire, he’ll sign with the Dodgers or Rangers.
And since he doesn’t sound like a guy who seems to be leaning towards retirement, there seem to be two options left.

Additionally, the pitcher’s wife gave birth to the couple’s fourth child recently. Being close to both families is an aspect that should not be neglected either.
The more time passes, the more I have the feeling that his days in LA are numbered. But of course, nothing is final yet.
Remember that both teams are waiting for his decision. If he wants to sign for Arlington or Los Angeles, both clubs are ready and he will be welcomed with open arms.
