MATT CAIN RUMORS & GOSSIP

Matt Cain Unloading S.F. Bro Pad With Ikea Kitchen At Loss; $1.8MM

Matt Cain is due for a pay raise after the 2012 season and he’ll either get a huge contract from the Giants or sign elsewhere as a free agent. So what’s the logical move at this point? Sell that $1.8mm house you’ve been slumming in while playing in San Fran. He’ll make $15,000,000 this season and will probably demand at least that over 6-7 years in his next...

Cain puts Bay Area home up for sale. Is writing on the wall?

Zoinks! There’s news out of the Huffington Post this morning that San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain—who is eligible to become a free agent after this season—has put his Bay Area home up for sale. Unless Cain and his family are just looking to upgrade (after all, he is getting quite the pay hike in the final year of his contract), this could very well be reason...

San Francisco Giants 2012 FanFest—a big yawn

If standing in line for three hours to get an autograph is your thing, then no doubt you had a great time at the San Francisco Giants’ annual FanFest today. I went the past two years and I can tell you from my own experience, it ain’t all that. Today’s event drew an estimated 36,000 fans, most of them wearing Panda hats and Tim Lincecum or Buster Posey jerseys....

SF Giants Rumors: Cain Deal Could Be In The Works, Pill Could Land Last Roster Spot

Chris Haft of MLB.com answers fans questions in his inbox article. Haft expects Matt Cain and the San Francisco Giants to reach a deal during Spring Training.   This would put a lot of Giants fans at ease since Tim Lincecum is in a two-year deal, and Giants fans wouldn’t be able to stomach the possibility of losing both pitchers to free agency. There is still two years to...

SF Giants Rumors: Lincecum, Cain, And Let The Money Rain

Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com says the San Francisco Giants made a $100 million offer to Tim Lincecum for fiver years. Lincecum rejected the offer, and the Giants are now focusing on a two-year or one-year deal.   The Giants and Lincecum don’t seem to be far apart on a one-year, or two-year deal. I don’t believe they will take this to an arbitration hearing. Some fans...

Giants Optimistic About New Deal With Cain

There are early indications that the Giants will have a decent or better chance to lock Matt Cain on another long-term deal, writes Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.  Heyman adds that the club offered Tim Lincecum a deal worth at least $100MM over five years but is now focusing on one- and two-year deals after being rebuffed. Giants people are saying only that talks are "ongoing...

How much should Matt Cain get in an extension?

With the news earlier today that the Angels had signed C.J. Wilson to a 5 year $77.5 million deal it got me thinking about Matt Cain and his coming free agency next season. What Wilson was able to get as an older and less consistent starting pitcher means that the market, should Cain become a free agent, could get pretty crazy. With that in mind I think that...

Matt Cain is not going anywhere

Via Joel Sherman: For those on the Matt Cain bandwagon, I heard the Giants have made it so clear they are not trading him that the Yankees have not asked about the righty in “years.” h/t TYA – It’s pretty evident, at this point, that the Giants intend to sign Matt Cain to an extension. It seems, in fact, as though it’s their top offseason priority, and I expect...

SF Giants Rumors: Matt Cain Rumor Swirling

There has been a rumor going around that the San Francisco Giants were pondering a trade that would send the Yankees Jesus Montero to the Giants in exchange for starting pitcher Matt Cain.   Is this trade going to happen? NO WAY! The Giants would not part ways with Cain for a catcher. Buster Posey is expected to be back behind the dish at the start of the 2012 season.   We know...
