Here's how I'd do it
I'd expand the majors by 10 teams, so it's 40 total teams. The top division of MLB is 20 teams, and the second division is 20 teams. Promotion/relegation only applies to the top two divisions. You can't drop below the second division. But the second division's TV contract is basically non-existent (like the drop from the Premier League to the Championship League in England), so if you drop to the second division, it completely changes how you do business.
The regular minor leagues would stay the same for me, with the exception that we would need more minor league teams to accommodate the farm systems of the the 10 new teams.
I don't think that system would change anything about the draft. [Post edited by Chris Coleman at 08/24/2018 11:51AM]
