Because we don't want to put other clubs who now own their services under any difficulties? Because we don't want the fans to suffer thru potential extra losses?

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
