My proposed AAA realignment. Many teams switched affiliations in 2015, and got teams further away. Roster changes involving AAA and the MLB happen on the daily, so to cut down travel costs and to get a player on time for the next game is vital. This is what should happen in 2016:

Miami Marlins - Charlotte Knights

Washington Nationals - Durham Bulls

Milwaukee Brewers - Indianapolis Indians

Chicago White Sox - Louisville Bats

Pittsburgh Pirates - Rochester Red Wings

New York Mets - Syracuse Chiefs

All other IL teams fit well with their MLB affiliates.

Arizona Diamondbacks - Albuquerque Isotopes

Minnesota Twins - Colorado Springs Sky Sox

Los Angeles Dodgers - Fresno Grizzlies

Anaheim Angels - Las Vegas 51s

Cincinnati Reds - Nashville Sounds

Tampa Bay Rays - New Orleans Zephyrs

Texas Rangers - Oklahoma City Redhawks (changing the name back to what it was previously)

Oakland Athletics - Reno Aces

Houston Astros - Round Rock Express

Colorado Rockies - Salt Lake Bees

All other PCL teams fit well with their MLB affiliates.
