Lincecum Asks For $21.5M In Arbitration
Oct 31, 2014 6:14 AM
Giants ace Tim Lincecum asked for $21.5M in salary arbitration Tuesday and was offered $17M by the club, according to an ESPN.com report.
The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner's request neared the record amount sought in arbitration. Houston pitcher Roger Clemens asked for $22M in 2005.
San Francisco's offer was the highest in arbitration history, topping the $14.25M the New York Yankees proposed for Derek Jeter in 2001.
