Tim Lincecum, RHP, Giants — Lincecum is in the final season of a two-year, $40 million deal ($22 million this season). The Giants have to decide whether to part ways, go to arbitration, or re-sign him, and there’s no way they are going to offer him near what he makes now, even though he pitched a no-hitter against the Padres. So, a trade is a real possibility if the Giants feel they’re going the other way. Lincecum would draw some interest from a few teams, as a starter or reliever. The Tigers, Orioles, Cardinals, Blue Jays, and Dodgers would likely be interested.

Jake Peavy, RHP, White Sox — Peavy was scheduled to return to the rotation Saturday night against the Braves, and you can bet there were a lot of scouts watching. A healthy Peavy is on a lot of teams’ lists of desirables. The Red Sox, Diamondbacks, Orioles, Yankees, Rockies, Indians, and Cardinals are among the teams who would have interest in the veteran. He would also have starts on July 25 and 30, so there’s three starts’ worth of scouting that could be done.
