Back in August, Tim Lincecum’s agent was telling reporters he preferred going year-to-year. Lincecum won’t be eligible for free agency until after the 2013 season. However, Lincecum told John Shea yesterday that he’s now open to an extension.
The Giants would probably have to pay at least $15MM for Lincecum’s three arbitration years (unless he’s a Super Two) plus at least $12MM for each free agent year.
