He threw 1142 4-seamers last year and not a single one was less than 90 mph. No way he's opting out of 3/$98M at the end of the year, right? I mean, I suppose if he misses a month or less, comes back by July 1 and goes vintage Kershaw the rest of the way he probably opts out. But for him to opt out, he'd have to be pretty confident he's getting way more than $98M guaranteed. I suppose there's always some team crazy enough to offer him 5/$130M or 6/$150. Like I’ve said before, his back is fucked which may have led to these arm injuries and now the back thing came back. He absolutely should be opting in at this point.
