It’s back to reality for Reds

Todd Frazier won the Home Run Derby with final-swing drama. Aroldis Chapman blew ’em away in the ninth. Even the rain stayed away, moving through town without interrupting the biggest moments of the All-Star Game.

Now, even as Cincinnati Reds fans enjoy the successful festivities, it’s time to trade the afterglow for the glum.

The Reds enter the second half of the season looking to trade two of their best pitchers — including Chapman and his 100 mph heat.

“We can’t be thinking about what’s going to happen or anything else,” Frazier said.

Cincinnati seems headed for another grim few months, well out of contention and stuck with several big contracts.

“It is something that is part of the game but out of my control,” said Chapman.

Diamondbacks

Organizers have canceled plans to temporarily put newly elected baseball Hall of Famer Randy Johnson’s name on a Phoenix freeway, which is permanently named for an Arizona soldier killed in combat in Iraq. Johnson wore No. 51 while playing for Arizona, and Gov. Doug Ducey had planned to participate in an event Friday to unveil signage for State Route 51 honoring Johnson. The Diamondbacks announced the cancellation in a release saying concerns expressed by Pfc. Lori Piestewa’s family were understandable.

Dodgers

Los Angeles acquired left-hander Grant Dayton from the Marlins in exchange for left-hander Chris Reed. Dayton was 2-1 with a 2.83 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 25 games for Class AAA New Orleans.
