Former Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum has been released by the Texas Rangers after struggling in Triple A this season. The 33 year old posted a 5.68 ERA in just 10 appearances. He allowed 14 hits and 9 walks in less than 13 innings.
Lincecum, who hasn’t pitched in the major leagues since 2016, signed a one year deal for $1 million prior to the season. He was hoping to mount a comeback and the Rangers were hoping he could help their bullpen out.
For now Lincecum’s comeback attempt is on hold. Rumors are he still looks jacked in a cutoff shirt.
Lincecum has had tremendous major league career. Rangers and he tried to take calculated risk on comeback. "Despite a lot of good intentions, lot of hard work," Jon Daniels said. "We didn't feel it was the right move to bring Tim up."
