ORIGINAL: SoMnFan As an adult who damn-near died from chickenpox (thanks, kids ...) .... I don't wish that upon anyone. The Royals are infected with it. Could cause some issues. Its dangerous to contract, when an adult. A mumps outbreak in the National Hockey League last season highlighted the ability for disease to spread quickly within a sport. Since then, the NHL has encouraged more sanitary use of water bottles and towels as well as encouraged players to provide teams with their vaccination records, a source told Yahoo Sports. Kansas City traded for outfielder Jonny Gomes right before the Aug. 31 trade deadline, adding insurance to an outfield that already includes Lorenzo Cain, Jarrod Dyson, Paulo Orlando and Alex Gordon, who was activated from the disabled list Tuesday after missing nearly two months with a strained left groin muscle. Rios, 34, had struggled most of the season, hitting .253/.288/.333 after signing a one-year, $11 million deal this offseason. Herrera, 25, is an integral piece of the vaunted Royals bullpen, the best in the major leagues for three seasons running. In 59⅓ innings, he has a 2.12 ERA with 53 strikeouts and a .178 batting average against.
