The San Diego Padres are among the clubs that have shown interest in Tim Lincecum.

Nearly every Major League club has been in contact with the right-hander's agent, but he should be moving closer to picking a destination.

Lincecum is expected to pitch in a showcase near the end of this month. The location will be in the Phoenix area, possibly either Scottsdale or Tempe.

"I've talked with the Padres a number of times throughout the offseason, but I've also spoken to quite a few other teams," Lincecum's agent, Rick Thurman, said.
