Kershaw was only 50/50 on even coming back this year. That's why LAD didn't offer him the QO.
He told them he wanted to maybe pitch for them, maybe pitch for the Rangers or maybe just not pitch. So they didn't give him the QO in case he decided to sign with the Rangers.
He decided to come back. But it wasn't for money or glory - it was just to pitch in the post-season again.
It doesn't surprise me even a little that he was like 'eh, **** it. I'm just here for October...' and shut it down.
He ain't Max Scherzer. He's a really chill guy so I can absolutely see him bowing out.
