The Giants don't appear to be in a rush to sign reigning NL Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum to a contract extension.

Lincecum signed a one-year, $650,000 contract last month.

San Francisco general manager Brian Sabean called the Lincecum talks a "back-burner issue."

"We're open to it, but in this climate, with what's going on with the economics in the country and until we see how it affects baseball, I don't know how wise that would be," Sabean said.
