Tim Lincecum is a free agent after pitching for the Giants since 2007, and the four-time All-Star has plenty of interest, according to MLB Network.

The Giants are among teams that are interested, and MLB Network says Lincecum wouldn't mind returning either, but there's a slight problem. Lincecum wants to be a starter, and there's not much room on the Giants' pitching rotation.
Lincecum was once a dominant pitcher, and is still a good pitcher, but there are questions regarding his health after his 2015 season was cut short. He had a lingering hip injury and opted for season-ending surgery in September.

The 31-year-old right-hander might still have some gas left in the tank, and his desire to remain a starting pitcher could halt his return to San Francisco.
