Hey everybody, it's Chuck Arfine. This is the White Sox Talk podcast. It is coming to you, as always, by our great friends at WinTrust. Well, break out the t-shirts and shorts. We've got a heat wave here in Chicago, highs in the 30s, windchills in the

20s. I'm going to the beach. Look, if Chicago can heat up in January, why can't Major League

Baseball? It's been another boring slog of off-season moves where fans wait for something big to happen, but almost

every day, it's been a whole lot of nothing.

So what's been the holdup?

Or should I say, who is holding things up?

Can this be changed and be fixed for the better?

How about a free agent deadline right in the middle of the winter meetings?

On the podcast, I speak with ESPN's Jesse Rogers, about another snail's pace off season,

where instead of a hot stove of front page news in November and December, it feels like a four-month

deep freeze. Who's for big changes? Who's against them?

How to fix MLB's off-season with ESPN's Jesse Rogers.
