The Dodgers have made progress on a potential seven-year extension for starter Clayton Kershaw worth more than $180 million, according to FOX Sports Saturday. The 25-year-old is looking for a richer deal than Felix Hernandez and Justin Verlander because of his age.

Kershaw is 5-4 with 1.84 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. He has a 104-to-31 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 107 1/3 innings this season. The 2011 National League Cy Young winner is 66-41 with a 2.71 career ERA.
