Orioles expressing interest in Tim Lincecum

The Baltimore Orioles are "one of several teams" expressing interest in Tim Lincecum, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.

What It Means:

Baltimore has been searching for another arm all off-season. The Orioles have been linked to Yovani Gallardo, but signing Gallardo comes with draft pick compensation, which has reportedly kept Baltimore from doing a deal.

As for Lincecum, he is making his way back from hip surgery and was reportedly set to begin throwing off a mound last week. He is expected to hold a showcase for interested clubs soon. In 15 starts in 2015, the former Cy Young winner labored to a 4.64 xFIP.
