Michigan football bolsters 2027 class with 3-star Texas OL Tristan Dare over top programs
The Wolverines already have one commitment in 2027 in Saline (Mich.) three-star offensive lineman Louis Esposito (son of defensive line coach Lou Esposito). But on Monday, the maize and blue added another OL to bolster the class.
Hailing from Southlake (Tx.) Carroll, Tristan Dare is a three-star that has an offer sheet that reads more like a high-four-star prospect. He committed to the Wolverines on Monday over Florida, Florida State, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Penn State, and others.
Dare is expected to be an interior player along the offensive line and is listed at 6-foot-4, 290 pounds as he prepares to enter his junior year of high school. He is ranked at No. 496 overall, regardless of position, according to the 247Sports Composite.
With two commitments in the fold, Michigan is now ranked No. 19 in the 247Sports team rankings for the 2027 recruiting cycle -- which hasn't really gotten underway just yet.

Alexander, Peña help Astros beat Marlins 8-2 and snap Miami's five-game winning streak
MIAMI (AP) — Jason Alexander pitched six scoreless innings, Jeremy Peña doubled twice and the Houston Astros used a five-run fourth to beat the Miami Marlins 8-2 on Monday night. Alexander picked up his second win of the season after holding Miami to three hits. He struck out six and walked one. The Astros built a 5-0 lead during a disastrous fourth by Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara (6-10), who was perfect his first time through the Houston order before giving up six hits in the inning. Peña led off the fourth with a double. Jesús Sánchez then drove in Peña with a double in his first game against his former team, which dealt him to Houston at the trade deadline. Yainer Diaz added a two-run double, Carlos Correa had an RBI single and Christian Walker drove in another run on a fielder's choice. Alcantara allowed nine hits and six runs. He struck out five over seven innings and threw 100 pitches. Peña made it 6-0 with an RBI double in the seventh. Astros reliever Bryan King allowed back-to-back pinch-hit home runs to Javier Sanoja and Derek Hill that made it 6-2 in the seventh. Sanoja connected on a 91 mph fastball and sent it 402 feet to left center. Hill drove a 1-2 sweeper to left. Pinch-hitter Mauricio Dubón restored Houston's five-run lead with an RBI double in the eighth, and Cam Smith added an RBI single. Key moment After loading the bases on consecutive two-out base hits and a walk, Alexander (2-1) got Otto Lopez to ground out to keep Miami scoreless in the sixth. Key stat The Marlins had a five-game winning streak snapped. Up next Marlins RHP Cal Quantrill (4-8, 4.79) will start the middle game of the series.

Marlins rumors: Miami to hold off on Sandy Alcantara trade
The post Marlins rumors: Miami to hold off on Sandy Alcantara trade appeared first on ClutchPoints. Miami Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara is having a rocky season. Alcantara returned to the mound this year after suffering a devastating injury in 2023. Alcantara has struggled to find his footing again, and the team may no longer be able to move him ahead of the trade deadline. Miami originally planned to deal Alcantara at some point before the July 31st deadline. The Marlins are now pivoting on that plan, which included trying to get a slew of prospects for the hurler. 'The Marlins may have no choice now but to hang onto him and shop him again this winter,' Bob Nightengale wrote for USA Today on Sunday. The reason why Miami is changing course is due to Alcantara's overall performance this year. He returned from having Tommy John surgery in October 2023. 'Alcantara is 4-9 with a 7.14 ERA and 1.495 WHIP, and is getting worse. He is yielding an 8.61 ERA in his last four starts, giving up 32 hits in 23 innings with 14 strikeouts and five walks,' Nightengale added. The Marlins are just 46-51 on the season, but have won six of their last 10 contests. Sandy Alcantara is getting roughed up by opposing hitters Alcantara was a gem before getting hurt in 2023. He is a two-time All-Star, who won the NL Cy Young Award in the 2022 season. He was also named All-MLB First Team that season. The pitcher's injury in 2023 clearly set him back. He missed the entire 2024 campaign, due to rehabbing his injury. This season, he has gotten clobbered on the mound. Alcantara has allowed 10 earned runs in his last two outings alone. The hurler is trying to remain upbeat, despite his struggles. 'I need to take time and rest, think about what I was doing bad, and keep competing every fifth day,' Alcantara said earlier in July, per Fish on First. Alcantara has been tied to several teams in trade rumors. Those clubs include the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, and the San Diego Padres. Time will tell if Miami does make a deal for him with another club, ahead of the July 31 deadline. Miami plays the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon.

Marlins rumors: 4 Miami players drawing trade interest beyond Sandy Alcantara, Edward Cabrera
The post Marlins rumors: 4 Miami players drawing trade interest beyond Sandy Alcantara, Edward Cabrera appeared first on ClutchPoints. With the rumors surrounding Miami Marlins pitchers like Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera, other players on the team are attracting other teams' interest. While specifically the interest around the Marlins' ace in Alcantara has been heating up ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, there are other under-the-radar pitchers on the team that the baseball world should know about. Will Sammon of The Athletic would write on Thursday that regarding pitchers Ronny Henriquez and Calvin Faucher, Miami 'is fielding interest in both players.' The reporter would also highlight that Faucher would be more likely to be dealt by the deadline with his 10 saves, 3.73 ERA, and 41 strikeouts, though Henriquez's numbers are solid as well. 'Two other Miami pitchers to keep in mind: Ronny Henriquez and Calvin Faucher. Miami is fielding interest in both players, people briefed on the situation said,' Sammon wrote. 'In particular, multiple teams are looking to acquire Faucher, league sources said,' Sammon continued. 'Of the two pitchers, he is more likely to get traded. Faucher, 29, has 10 saves with a 3.73 ERA and 41 strikeouts in 41 innings. Henriquez, 25, has a 2.96 ERA in 51 2/3 innings with 71 strikeouts. Both pitchers are under club control for multiple seasons.' Looking at players that aren't pitchers on Miami that have gained interest around the league is outfielders Jesush Sanchez and Dane Myers. Marlins' Sandy Alcantara, Edward Cabrera are the 'splashiest' names As fans have been pondering trade proposals for the Marlins' star in Alcantara, the former Cy Young winner has been in rumors for a very long time, as well as Cabrera, who sports a 3.35 ERA and 96 strikeouts. For Alcantara, he had a slow start to the year as he currently has a 6.36 ERA with 81 strikeouts. 'The Marlins are a team to watch today for several reasons, including what happens with starters Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera, two of the splashiest names on the market,' Sammon wrote. 'The interest in both Alcantara and Cabrera is very high, league sources said.' One team that is 'in the mix' for Alcantara is the Houston Astros, though there is some hesitation if they can get a deal one since they 'might get outbid,' according to Ken Rosenthal. 'The Houston Astros are in the mix for Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara, as well as San Diego Padres righty Dylan Cease, according to a source briefed on their discussions,' Rosenthal said in The Athletic. 'Club officials, however, fear that they might get outbid for both pitchers, given the competitive state of the market.' At any rate, it remains to be seen if pitchers Alcantara, Cabrera, Faucher, or Henriquez are moved ahead of the trade deadline on Thursday at 6 p.m. (EST). While the pitchers have been highlighted and interest around Sanchez and Myers, the Marlins could look like a different team in the aftermath of the deadline.
