Two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum is asking for a record $13M in salary arbitration, while the Giants are offering their ace $8M, according to an Associated Press report on Tuesday. Lincecum is seeking the richest contract ever awarded in arbitration, surpassing the $10 million that Alfonso Soriano (2006) and Francisco Rodriguez (2008) got after losing cases and Ryan Howard got after winning his in 2008. RealGM Note: Lincecum was ranked 6th in season FIC during the 2009 season and 'deserved' a salary of $19 million.
