With as much as these players are paid today, anything less than full season suspension without pay won’t be a meaningful consequence to them.Commissioner Bud Selig told reporters on Saturday he wants tougher penalties for performance-enhancing drug offenses, and he hopes MLB and the players' union can reach an agreement "expeditiously." MLB executive vice president Rob Manfred and union chief Michael Weiner are already working on it.
"The time has come to make meaningful adjustments to our penalties," said Selig, according to CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman."We need to do everything possible to deter the use of performance enhancing drugs ... [the recent Biogenesis investigation has] driven my intensity to increase the toughness of our PED penalties ... Apparently the penalties haven't deterred some players."
