MLB actually has rules governing what would happen should a club lose a number of players at once due to an accident. Essentially what happens is a draft, with the other clubs submitting a list of players and the injured club then picks playes from that list to replenish its losses up to five or six below the number it lost. The final five or six replacements come from the affected club's minor league system.
