Why would a major league team owner ever agree to the risk of relegation, which would destroy the value of their investment? Most pro leagues also keep all their teams somewhat competitive through a mix of revenue sharing, salary caps, and draft preferences. So, even the worst major league team is still way better than the best minor or farm league team.
