I agree completely. The issue with baseball (and really every sport in the US) is the minor league teams are owned by major league clubs. Actually, Soccer would be a great place to start this here. There are several tiers of professional soccer in the US and they are all governed by the USSF. - ThreadSky

While there is not parity between Triple AAA and the Major League, the bottom dwelling MLB teams wouldn't stay there long, I think. I'm pretty sure the owners wouldn't go along with it though.

That's pretty much how it usually works in EPL. The "yo-yo teams" go up and down each season. But it definitely adds variety to the leagues.

But that's is definitely the problem. Owners would never go for it.

I mean I could see an owner saying, "I didn't pay for this team to have it go to the minor leagues".

Potentially the best place for it happen would be college....but even then....

If terrible MLS teams got relegated and the best USSL teams were promoted to replace them, that would be a huge improvement in the league and other US sports could watch how it works and determine that it would have value for fans. Big problem is fans are not the focus in the way they are in Europe.
