@MLB Its about time that the naysayers get on board. This kid was great when he got drafted, great in 2023, and last here (like all young players) had to figure some stuff out. But make no doubt - Tork is for real.
🚨Japan has released Navy Lieutenant Ridge Alkonis to U.S. custody as part of an international prisoner transfer agreement.
@TheJusticeDept now has jurisdiction over LT Alkonis and will determine any further incarceration.
This is a sad state of our military culture which is driven by a lack of support from our politicians (both parties talk a good game but do nothin) and a lack of true leadership in our military (play the promotion game rather than doing the right thing for our country)
Case in point: @BringRidgeHome treatment, Red Hill, Base Housing, troops on food stamps, housing and PCS costs > allowances, unnecessary moves, on and on and on
@EubanksAndrew@BringRidgeHome@EubanksAndrew you are an amazing guy. If everyone in the world had a friend like you this world would be amazing. You are a true friend. Please give Ridge our love.
.@StateSPEHA Ambassador Carstens keeps saying the “blue passport” matters.
And @SecDef keeps saying service members matter.
If it were true, then why is Ridge Alkonis in prison?
Why do military families have no access to a lawyer if arrested in Japan?
Is there anything more beautiful than seeing a young man work his butt off and build his self belief so his talent can come through? Love it. #ruleyourimpact

It’s worth asking for Tokyo’s help in mending a growing rift by returning a U.S. Navy lieutenant locked up in a Japanese prison. https://t.co/Isx7dirHDg via @WSJ
