Will Lincecum Deal Impact Feldman?

The two-year, $35 million deal Tim Lincecum received from the San Francisco Giants is expected to have a ripple effect throughout baseball this winter.
Matt Garza, Hiroki Kuroda and Ervin Santana could receive more on the open market in the wake of Lincecum's deal, but lower-tier pitchers like Scott Feldman could benefit as well.
"Will this make it harder for the Orioles in their attempt to re-sign Feldman? In this MLBTradeRumors.com analysis, it was projected that Feldman could get a two-year deal worth $17 million with a vesting option for a third season," writes Steve Melewski.
