""I think he's the best pitcher to ever play," Bumgarner said of Kershaw."
"He noted that it wasn't just his skill on the mound, but Kershaw's character that also set him apart from others on the diamond. "He's, like, my favorite guy in baseball," Goldschmidt said. "My favorite player. I hate to say that about a pitcher. I kind of joke, like, I'd spend money to buy his jersey.""
"Even Goldschmidt's current teammate with the New York Yankees, Gerrit Cole, took a moment to share his feelings on Kershaw, calling him "the greatest left-handed pitcher of all time.""
Clayton Kershaw amassed three Cy Young awards, 11 All-Star selections, an MVP, and two World Series rings over 18 seasons. Several MLB peers publicly praised his on-field dominance and personal character as his career winds down. Madison Bumgarner called him the best pitcher to ever play. Paul Goldschmidt emphasized both Kershaw's skill and character, calling him his favorite player and joking he would buy Kershaw's jersey. Gerrit Cole labeled Kershaw the greatest left-handed pitcher of all time. The Dodgers will enter the next season with a roster that no longer includes Kershaw.
