""Every offseason, Ellen and I sit down and try to figure out the next year," Kershaw said. "We've done that for the last few years, get through the season, figure out how everybody's doing and kind of go from there. I'm sure we'll do that again this offseason, but I think the coaching stuff is so hard because you basically have the same travel schedule. And I think at least for the first few years whenever I finish up, I just need to be home. I need to be with the kiddos.""

Clayton Kershaw remained undecided about retiring after the 2025 season while delivering strong performance in Year 18. The 37-year-old posted a 3.27 ERA with 69 strikeouts across 99 innings and reached 3,000 career strikeouts on July 2, becoming the fourth left-handed pitcher to do so. Kershaw battled multiple injuries to return in 2025 but emerged as one of the Dodgers' most consistent starters, going 5-0 with a 1.88 ERA in August.

Kershaw re-signed for one year at $7.5 million and said he likely would not coach for at least a couple years, preferring to stay home with his family initially.
