The first major “whoa!” assignment comes with Richmond, as Chris Shaw returns to his AA home for the first time since early 2017. And he’s not the only returnee who might be itching to get to the west coast. Ryan Howard gets a somewhat surprising return to AA as do a few of his teammates. Logan Webb’s return isn’t at all a surprise, but he too is likely heading east with a desire to earn himself a promotion up to the penultimate level before 2019 is through.
