The Los Angeles Dodgers aren't the least bit worried about a disappointing postseason from Clayton Kershaw.

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Dodgers are giving their ace pitcher a whopping three-year contract extension worth $93 million - ending any speculation that he would test the free agent waters.

Kershaw turned 30 years of age in March and was hampered by back injuries in 2018, but the Dodgers appear confident in his ability to sustain the Cy Young level of play for the net three years.

The Dodgers were embarrassed by the Boston Red Sox in five games and fell in the World Series for a second straight year. Kershaw was off in both of his stars - struggling big-time against the Red Sox in games one and five.

In the postseason, Kershaw pitched 30 innings and struck out 26 batters, but he allowed four home runs and posted an ERA of 4.20. Kershaw finished with a record of 2-3 in the playoffs, further complicating his legacy after another year of underachieving when his team needed it most.

But the Dodgers are simply looking at the regular season version of Kershaw. He went 9-5 with 155 strikeouts in 161.1 innings pitched and an ERA of 2.73. They're banking on more long-term success from the three-time NL Cy Young winner.

In re-signing Kershaw, the Dodgers now have their top priority season out of the way. The goal now has to simply be to find another quality reliever and more bench players, because the Dodgers didn't have any production there during the World Series.

The Dodgers have now won six consecutive NL East division titles, but they only have two NL pennants and no championship rings to show for it. With Kershaw landing a major extension, he has to get over the playoff hump and find a way to end this team's 31-year World Series drought in 2019. The Dodgers are banking on him doing it.
