Tiny Tim & The Giants Trying To Work It Out
With hopes of avoiding a arbitration case, a major league source tells John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle that the Giants have offered Tim Lincecum a three-year, $37 million contract.
The proposed contract would includes annual salaries of $9.5 million, $12.5 million and $15 million, according to the report. Shea writes that the Lincecum camp countered with a proposal greater than $40 million. Assistant general manager Bobby Evans wouldn’t confirm or deny the offer, and while he acknowledged that talks are “ongoing,” he said that he hasn’t spoken with Lincecum’s people in 72 hours.
The arbitration case goes to hearing tomorrow if no contract has been agreed upon.

Life long San Francisco Giants fan living in Southern California after getting lost on a family trip to see Shamu in the early 90's. I'm currently the Editor of both the San Francisco Giants (Around The Foghorn) and Sacramento Kings (A Royal Pain) blogs on the FanSided network, where I'm paid in gum. In addition, I am the co-administrator of KingsForum.net, a Sacramento Kings fan forum. As you can tell by my fandom choices, I'm a bit of a masochist. As to the rumors, yes, they're true - I was the one who shot 50 Cent nine times, and yes, it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none, especially when you don't include a unicorn in the festivities. Am I right, or am I right?
If you need to find me, I'd check your local county jail intake first - or hit me up on Twitter @aroyalpain or @roundthefoghorn if you're feeling risky.
