The Giants are searching for middle ground when it comes to a contract extension for right-hander Tim Lincecum.
The first offer San Francisco made to Lincecum months ago was for four years, but he is reportedly looking for eight years.
Lincecum is fine with just a one or two-year deal as well.
He is in line for $18 to $20 million via arbitration.
