The way I understand it the 5 game suspension starts at the beginning of the 2018 season? Seems strange for an incident that occurred in the World Series, with a possible 4 games remaining in 2017 why wait?

1. Suspending a player during the World Series for something that doesn't involve violence on the field or criminal behavior off the field is probably considered an unduly harsh penalty against the player's team.
2. Players earn their salaries during the regular season, not the playoffs. Suspending this guy for five regular season games will cost him a lot of money, while suspending him in the World Series will not.

The delayed suspensions, according to the Commissioner, is a move to keep from punishing the team. The team members fought long and hard for this honor, and have not shaven since their climb began.
A reasonable provision.
