Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw sends clear message on his future in MLB after etching his name in history.

For example, Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal is in the middle of a Kershaw-like run of dominance, having won the 2024 Cy Young and carrying his team to within a game of the American League Championship Series last year. But Skubal is already 28 and has 786 strikeouts.
