This is an excellent point

Because parents go to jail for marijuana, MLB players should have harsher punishments.

Makes perfect sense



MLB is a business
The players, and the teams, are the products

They aren't going to shoot themselves in the foot by suspending nearly the entire Astros roster for the season, meaning the fans won't watch, and may not come back next year. Fans come to see Altuve and Springer not Luhnow and Hinch

So, this serves as a warning.

If players get caught in the future, I'd imagine they will face punishment

Some people are quicker to their torches and pitchforks than others
