SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that he would support a reunion between Tim Lincecum and the Giants, though no room exists for the two-time National League Cy Young Award winner on the current pitching staff. The Rangers, who were considering using Lincecum as a reliever, released him on Tuesday.
Bochy emphasized that he and the Giants' hierarchy have not discussed signing Lincecum, who starred for San Francisco from 2007-15. However, Bochy added, "He's somebody who's dear to all of our hearts. I would always have a spot for Timmy somewhere, [though] we don't have a spot here.
