I thought MLB said the suspensions wouldn't be this year?

I think it might have to do with Braun accepting it. That's have to be why things are moving.

Ryan Braun has been suspended without pay for the remainder of the season for violating MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
The first big shoe to drop in the Biogenesis investigation, Braun has agreed to accept the suspension and will not appeal. "I realize now that I have made some mistakes," said Braun. "I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions." That Braun didn't appeal doesn't exactly bode well for some of the other players involved, though this is a lost year for the Brewers. Braun will end up missing 65 games and is projected to lose around $3.4 million in salary.

So he takes a lesser suspension, names names, and we get a bunch more suspended next year.
Everyone appeals their suspensions, and this gets dragged on longer.

Buster Onley is reporting that more with come like this one, quickly and often

hahaha what a dick and a tool. He's getting off too easy 65 games when his team isn't going anywhere.
