The San Francisco Giants have signed ace Tim Lincecum to a 2-year deal.

Two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum has agreed to a two-year deal that will keep him with the San Francisco Giants, according to MLBTradeRumors.com.

Lincecum is reported to have turned down an earlier two-year offer from the Giants this month in the hopes of getting a better offer before he had a chance to test the free-agent market this winter.
