Thinking that would put a fascinating spin on team finances and goals. Imagining a situation where a small market MLB owner goal would be “avoid relegation and be profitable this year”.
That would also completely change how GMs approach setting up organizations with current vs. potential ratings.

I believe you would need to scrap the minors for this to really work since having minor leagues would complicate your full system. I have run fictional promotion-relegation leagues before, and the financials portion of it definitely complicates the league.
If you want to do a MLB promotion league, my suggestions would be to make them into a Division A/B type of split (two leagues). Maybe using the 2021 standings, your league could look something like this:
Division A (Top 14 from 2020):
Tampa Bay
Boston
NY Yankees
ChiSox
Houston
Atlanta
Milwaukee
St. Louis
San Fran
LA Dodgers
Toronto
Seattle
Oakland
Cincinnati
Division B (Bottom 16):
Balt
Cle
Det
KC
Minn
LA Angels
Tex
Phil
NY Mets
Mia
Wash
Chi Cubs
Pitt
SD
Col
Ariz
Then you could set it up where one or two teams move up or down per season.
