I don’t know where this belief thst other teams are satisfied with the Astros penalties comes from. They are not allowed to talk about it, or could face their own penalties.
Sounds like many are pissed Crane and the Astros got away with it.
“Multiple ownership-level sources told ESPN that dissatisfaction with the penalties had emerged following a conference call with Manfred, in which he explained how the Astros would be disciplined, then told teams to keep their thoughts to themselves.”
Dodgers said this Tuesday:
“All clubs have been asked by Major League Baseball not to comment on today's punishment of the Houston Astros as it's inappropriate to comment on discipline imposed on another club. The Dodgers have also been asked not to comment on any wrongdoing during the 2017 World Series and will have no further comment at this time."
MLB's discipline and the franchise's firing of its manager and GM made for a great show about taking a hard-line stance. But here's why many across baseball feel Houston's owner got off easy.

Standby for more news and maybe a spreading scandal. The Mets might be really glad to be done with Beltran.
There are reports that Altuve and Bregman, at least, wore buzzers under the shoulder that communicated something about pitches. Part of why Altuve was adamant he didn’t want his shirt ripped off after the homer that beat the Yankees in 2019 Alcs.
“Cincinnati Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer said on Thursday that he's heard from "multiple parties" that the Houston Astros wore electronic buzzers to tip off pitches.”

Carlos Beltran, the only player named in commissioner Rob Manfred's report on illegal sign stealing by the Houston Astros in 2017, stepped down Thursday as New York Mets manager.
