In the interest of staying fair to real life, im trying to see if this trade is a rip off or not. So the deal is Kershaw for Blake Rutherford and Ian Clarkin. Kershaw is in the last year before he opts out, so he is a rental. I'm taking on his whole contract. Rutherford is a top prospect in A ball who had a 132 ops+ last year, and Clarkin is a guy who my scout doesn't like but who osa likes a lot. Fangraphs recently left Kershaw out of their Top 50 trade value chart, so I figured a really good prospect might be fair for one year of Kershaw. Thoughts? Am I ripping off the Dodgers?

I would think so

Seems a little light if this is at the start of a season...at the deadline not so bad....another B level prospect would be my suggestion

It's probably underpaying a little bit, depending on the timing as '94 EXPOS points out.
I guess we'll see what Gray and/or Darvish bring back irl in the next week - not as good as Kershaw obviously but comparable contract situations.
