Cy Young Winner Tim Lincecum Reportedly Signs Deal With Angels

ANAHEIM (CBSLA.com/AP) — The Los Angeles Angels have signed two-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum, a free agent trying to come back from hip surgery, according to reports Monday.

Sources first told ESPN about the deal but no official announcement had been made as of early Monday afternoon.

Lincecum tossed 41 pitches on May 6 for about three dozen scouts representing nearly every major league club in Scottsdale, Arizona, the spring training home of the San Francisco Giants. That's the only team the 31-year-old right-hander has ever pitched for.

Lincecum won the NL Cy Young Award in 2008 and 2009.

The Angels have been hard-hit by injuries early in the season.
