Report: Giants, two others showing most interest in Lincecum

Share

Tim Lincecum is trying to find a home.

The Giants, Angels and White Sox are the three teams with the most interest in him, according to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal, who also reports that the Padres and Mariners are not in the mix.

“We’re in discussions with his (agent) Rick Thurman just to understand their expectations and market and we’ll continue that,” Giants GM Bobby Evans told CSN Bay Area's Jim Kozimor on Tuesday. “Whether there is actually a formal offer will really be dictated based on our situation and whether there’s a good match.”

According to Rosenthal, Lincecum isn't close to making a decision.

The two-time Cy Young Award winner still wants to be a starter, while the Giants at this point view him as a reliever.

"From our standpoint, we see him more as a bullpen help to us," Evans added. "That said, his focus is probably to at least see what options he has in a rotation mindset.

"We'll have to see how it plays out, but for us, really the bullpen is our focus."
