They will all be posted at the MiLB team sites when announced by the farm team. Looks like the Fire Frogs' essentially have theirs posted, including Wright, Didder, Cumberland, Harrington, Hellinger. Salazar as manager.
Gwinnett, Mississippi seem like tentative 2018 rosters as well. Acuna at Gwinnett, Allard, Soroka(?) and Riley at Mississippi.

Those are just leftover rosters from when the season ended last year. Someone within the organization has already been quoted saying Wright will likely start in Mississippi.

Would be likewise surprising to see Soroka (but less so Allard/Riley) not in AAA.
I see no reason for allard to be back at miss. He pitched 150 innings there last season with an era at 3.18. He may not end up being an mlb guy, but he has earned a trip to AAA
Fair. But, given scouting reports, I also think it’s more likely the team asks Allard to make some changes here and there, which would likely be better accomplished at a level he’s repeating. Either way, it’s a huge year for Allard to prove the scouting cynicism on him right or wrong.
Allard didn't really dominate AA. While he definitely held his own (especially at his age) it was more of a solid year then dominating. Also consider his drop in K-rate and reports of declining velocity and I think it's a no brainier to send him back to AA to start the year. He's more likely to see better talent there anyways.
Allard...
K9 = 7.74, bb9 = 2.70, FIP = 3.27
Soroka...
K9 = 7.32, bb9 = 1.99, FIP = 3.19
Soroka's numbers were right in line with career averages though and still decidedly better than Allards.
Babip...
Allard = .310
Soroka = .275
I don’t know about decidedly better. For the record, I think soroka will be better, but this is about should allard so to AAA. He absolutely should imo
Again, compared to their career averages, Allard's numbers declined. Combined with the reports of declining velocity and I think starting the year in AA is just fine, if not preferable.
