Clayton Kershaw has re-signed with the Dodgers for one year, and everyone in the organization appears excited and relieved he returned to the fold.
Dodgers infielder Max Muncy is finally able to work with team trainers in rehabbing his injured left elbow, but acknowledges the lockout set him back.Those who arrived to spring training early at Camelback Ranch also reveled in Kershaw’s return, which has yet to be announced publicly by the team but was confirmed by the pitcher in an Instagram post Friday night.
Honeycutt still vividly remembers his first impression of the tall Texas left-hander during a spring training game against the Boston Red Sox ahead of the 2008 campaign. “He comes back in [the dugout] and he sits down next to me and just goes, ‘Man, that was fun,’” Honeycutt said with a laugh. “To me, it was just like, the excitement of what the game should be to somebody. The experience, the outcome and the joy he had of getting to compete.”
Former Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti, who has spent the last several seasons as an analyst on SportsNet LA, described it with two traits: “The dependability and reliability of who he is,” he said, “I find that to be remarkable.”
