The San Francisco Giants have publicly stated that they would like to re-sign Tim Lincecum, who can hit the open market a few days after the World Series.
"We've begun those discussions and hopefully there's an opportunity to bring Timmy back and in short order," vice president Bobby Evans said. "That's our hope. We don't intend to wait if Timmy's willing to work with us right now. And that's the impression I'm getting -- that they're willing to work with us."
Lincecum has said that he would like to explore free agency.
