The Dodgers announced Friday they had ensured the 25-year-old left-hander would remain with the team but the pricetag was the richest in major league history for any pitcher, exceeding Justin Verlander's seven-season deal for $180 million with Detroit last year. &quot;The magnitude of the contract, the investment the team makes in you, is pretty cool,&quot; said Kershaw. Kershaw captured his second National League Cy Young Award as best pitcher in three years with a stellar 2013 effort, leading the major leagues with a 1.83 earned-run average and pacing the National League with 232 strikeouts.</p><br clear="all"/>
