MLS: What would league look like with promotion and relegation?

The actual implementation of relegation and promotion in the American soccer system is a topic of debate and a much deeper article within itself. With any real progress on the subject at a bit of a standstill as Major League, United Soccer Liga and National Independent Soccer Association continue to grow and add teams, while having others fold in the process. It is a sensitive subject for all involved in the still relatively young and complicated (legally) U.S.soccer league system. But let’s take a minute to stop, think and imagine based on 2019 performances what the league structure would look like with a relegation and promotion sample.
