Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw has some trade protection in his new contract, according to the New York Post.
While the deal does not contain a no-trade clause, Kershaw can void his deal if traded. If the Dodgers deal Kershaw to another club, he can void the deal the following offseason, making him a free-agent. He's also eligible to receive a one time $3 million bonus if dealt. The clause ensures that Kershaw will have some control over what team he goes to as it's unlikely a team would deal for him knowing he would leave the following offseason.
