Tim Lincecum’s S.f. Days Likely Over

There were other years when it seemed as though Tim Lincecum had thrown his final pitch for the San Francisco Giants. If so, it will be a tough pill for legions of fans who love “The Freak” and understand how his arrival in 2007 helped pivot the franchise toward its run of World Series championships. [...] Lincecum’s two-year, $35 million contract expires after this season and the Giants clearly need a rotation makeover for 2016 and beyond. Team trainer Dave Groeschner said Lincecum’s surgery involved shaving down bone to take care of impingement and repair his labrum. Free agents customarily rehab their injuries over the winter under the direction of their former teams, and it’s certainly possible the Giants could sign him to a minor-league contract for next year, but he surely will not get a major-league deal in San Francisco. Lincecum won the 2008 and 2009 National League Cy Young awards, in his first two full seasons in the majors, before helping the Giants win their first World Series title in San Francisco the next season.
