The Dodgers have agreed to a one-year, $500,000 deal with left-hander Clayton Kershaw. He could be baseball's lowest-paid Opening Day starter in the majors. Los Angeles manager Don Mattingly announced last month that Kershaw, who will turn 23 on March 19, will get the ball for the club's March 31 opener against San Francisco. Kershaw made $440,000 last year and posted his best season statistically, going 13-10 with a 2.91 ERA and topping the 200 mark in both innings and strikeouts.
