The Los Angeles Dodgers won't be going after second baseman Robinson Cano, likely to be among the biggest prizes on this offseason's free-agent market, Dodgers owner Magic Johnson told USA TODAY Sports.

"I can't talk about the other guy," Johnson told the newspaper Thursday, "but you already know that guy in New York is going to be paid. Not by us, but he's going to get paid."

Johnson said the Dodgers' priority is re-signing left-handed ace Clayton Kershaw, according to the report. Kershaw struck out 12 over seven innings as the Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves 6-1 in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Thursday night and had a 1.83 ERA during the regular season.

If Kershaw continues with this type of performance in the postseason, his asking price is likely to increase.

"We're not worried about that. We already know we've got to give him a lot of money. What's a few more zeroes, I mean, really?" Johnson told the newspaper, laughing.

The Dodgers had an Opening Day payroll of $214.8 million, becoming only the second Major League Baseball franchise to top the $200 million mark. Meanwhile, Cano's current team, the New York Yankees, have topped that figure six years in a row.
