While they have spent time negotiating this offseason, there is still a significant gap in talks between the Giants and right-hander Tim Lincecum on a contract extension. San Francisco had made locking up Lincecum and Matt Cain as their top priorities this winter. The Giants are believed to have raised an offer they made this summer that was said to have been for four years and presumably about $80 million. Lincecum, a two-time Cy Young winner and the 2010 World Series hero, is thought to be seeking an eight-year deal.
