According to Andrew Baggarly of Comcast Sportsnet, RHP Tim Lincecum intends to test free agency before considering a return to the Giants next season.
Baggarly says the Giants have presented a two-year offer to Lincecum, but talks between the two sides have not progressed, according to his sources.
The Giants will make a qualifying offer to Lincecum after the World Series (which is reportedly set at $14.1 million this winter) so they can receive draft pick compensation in the event Lincecum departs.
Lincecum, 29, went 10-14 with a 4.37 ERA in 197 2/3 innings over 32 starts in 2013.
He allowed 184 hits, 76 walks and 21 home runs with 193 strikeouts this year.
