Double trouble: Orioles' Manny Machado needs to go, Preakness needs to stay

Tim Ritvo, the chief operating officer of the Stronach Group, said in a news conference Saturday afternoon at Pimlico Race Course before the 143rd Preaknessthat there are no plans on the table to invest more of the organization’s funds into the 148-year-old facility.

Manny Machado seems to be headed out of town and so does the Preakness.

They even share a common number.
