Clayton Kershaw , P (31): If Kershaw’s back holds up in 2018 — back injuries have forced him onto the disabled list the last two seasons — he is expected to opt out of his Dodgers contract after the season. The Dodgers might hesitate to guarantee him $300 million in a contract extension that would extend into his late 30s, but they also might hesitate to let a Hall-of-Famer-in-waiting walk away. He could be the grand attraction when his hometown Texas Rangers open their new ballpark in 2020.
