Maddie and Alex talk about the uneventful Winter Meetings and why the market for the three top Japanese players (Munetaka Murakami, Kazuma Okamoto, Tatsuya Imai) has been so quiet to this point.

Alex and Maddie are back after the World Series to give an offseason primer and talk about just why this free agent class could be considered lackluster.
