I think the biggest problem here would be stadiums and salaries. What happens when a club with a 50,000 seat stadium drops to AAA. Or with a 15,000 seat stadium jumps to the majors.

Set and enforce every team in the mix to a AAA economy. What you'd have is Professional Baseball Incorporated. A central office sets prices and salary for all teams, takes receipts and distributes them as it sees fit.

As stated, though, this would be too radical to implement. You'd have to have 30 MLB owners willing to commit financial suicide ... it would take an act of Congress, and they don't get involved in this stuff.
