GOODYEAR, Arizona – Nate Jones wasn’t sure his cell phone was going to survive the number of calls and text messages he received after signing a minor-league deal with the Cincinnati Reds.

“My phone didn’t stop for two or three days,” said Jones, a Pendleton County native who attended Northern Kentucky University. “I thought it was going to melt down, but no, it held on. It was good. Everybody was excited.”
