If you make a new policy and don't punish them for breaking it, they'll ignore it. If you try to punish individual officers for breaking it, they'll club together to frustrate the process.

One playoff share for winning the pennant is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. For winning the WS it's over half a million. To make it worth Clase's while you'd have to pay him enough money that the transaction would be hard to hide.
