Getting dropped creates serious survival drama
The fight to avoid relegation in European soccer creates almost the same level of entertainment when watching two of the worst teams in the league play as watching the two teams fighting for the championship. It'll never happen, but it would be nice to force the likes of the Marlins to not be able to just pack it in and call it a season 30 games in every year.
If you want to get really radical, there's basically already a 4 level pyramid in professional baseball. Imagine the MS Braves at least having the potential to able to work their way up to the MLB. Again, will never happen, but its fun to play with.
