    Two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants reached a verbal agreement Tuesday on a two-year contract worth $40.5 million.

    The deal includes a $500,000 signing bonus and salaries of $18 million this year and $22 million in 2013, a person familiar with the agreement said Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the terms were not announced. Lincecum still must take a physical, which the Giants hope will happen early next week to complete the deal.

    Could be the last two years of Timmy in a G's uni. Hes been adamant about signing short term deals with us and probably angling for a record breaking deal once he hits FA after this deal. I love the guy but I'd probably avoid matching a giant deal to a 29 year old pitcher assuming the Yanks/Red Sox/ whoever else start a bidding war.
