Clearly the Z's best times in the city came when they were the AAA team for the Astros. Not only was the team good, but with the local presence of many Astros fans, there was a big following of the minor league team.
I know when the Round Rock franchise went AAA, we lost the Astros to them I and I can understand why they wanted to be closer to the parent team, plus Nolan Ryan's involvement with the team.
Having said that, It's been 6 years since the Astros have been with Round Rock. Does anyone know if there has been any movement to get the team realigned with the Astros? Just seems like ever since they went with Miami, it's been a struggle for the Z's. With the new name coming in 2017, would be a great time for a new affiliation as well.

Not happening. Unfortunately they just signed a new agreement with Miami thru 2020.

I've seen speculation about the Astros possibly getting Round Rock back when their deal with the Rangers is up.

The Z's aren't changing their name. It's a publicity stunt in which people who voted turned in email addresses. They'll use this negative response to the names and say they're keeping the Z's name all along.
