From what I understand is many of the players involved with the investigation were granted immunity in order to get their full cooperation, so any sort of suspension would of course be instantly appealed by the PA and would most likely result in the suspensions being rescinded.
This whole thing is just ridiculous though. It's pretty clear why Jim Crane avoided suspension seeing as Crane is essentially Manfred's boss. A congressional oversight committee for Commerce and Energy has summoned MLB chairpersons to answer questions on the sign stealing scandal as well. This isn't going away.
