When disaster strikes: the MLB draft no-one wants to see

On Fanpost Friday, the topic was “What could go wrong for the 2017 Diamondbacks?” There are a host of possibilities, from injury through to simple non-performance - but I started to wonder what the very worst would be, and how major-league baseball would handle it. Outside of the very ludicrous e.g. a meteor strike on Chase Field, the worst scenario is probably something like the situation which befell Brazilian soccer team Chapecoense. They were on route to Medellin for a match against a Colombian side, when their plane crashed. They lost 19 players,

This is far from the only such incident.
