Fines? Would you pay a fine to get an advantage over teams and win it all? Most would.
MLB needs to send a message here.

Sure. So it sends that message.
And then MLB gets sued by the union, who wins their case in an absolute cakewalk, every single punishment gets overturned - with interest - and MLB comes off looking completely foolish.
Any punishment has to be in line with the CBA. And is currently complicated by the blanket immunity offered to get players to start talking. Who knows what Congress' dog and pony show might achieve.
