Personally I wouldn't sign Kershaw (or any starting pitcher) to a $30+ million a year contract. If you had that much available you could most likely get a stud position player who will play 160 games verse a guy who will play somewhere between 30 and 35 depending upon how you use your starters and rest days.
Plus, you could get a stud for $20-$25 million and spend the remaining $10 million on the bullpen with guys who will pitch more frequently than a starter. If you sign Kershaw and he gets hurt then you have set back your team with almost no hope of competing until either he's healthy or you get out from under the contract.
