Absolutely not. It is not even remotely feasible either.

Pretty much none of the minor league teams could handle being in the Majors. Talent wise, stadium capacity, the facilities, etc.

Not to mention, the minor league teams are affliated with the MLB club. The minors are about development, not organizational promotion.

The reason relegation works and is badass is simply because it is an established institution. You either start your league with relegation or not. No way you could ever implement it.

Bingo 85% of the best players in the minors are property of the major league teams. This would never work, would the Yankees get to be in the same divison as their AAA team? Would the Omaha Royals get to call up people from Kansas City?

I have a feeling that within ten years the Chicago Cubs would win the AA World Series.
