Well, I have no idea what the probability of a supermax event would be, but I have rolled exactly TWO natural rolls in the entirety of this dynasty according to the Excel sheet I keep. That means 2 out of approximately 5296 rolls (0.0004% of my rolls).
Hmm, a bit rarer than I thought, but I did have an idea.

For bad events, a star prospect retires because they're needed elsewhere in the economy. IE, "Awww, gee, I'd really like a career in baseball, but ma and pa need me on the tato farm."

For good events, maybe next season have Nate introduce "Talent Waivers". Yes, we have a robust development system for baseball, but the wasteland is still the wasteland. Gems in the rough will be missed. Have a 5 star player (older) discovered and allowed to sign directly with a team (though as part of the Talent Waiver system, institute fairness somehow, such as no two such signings can be for the same team back to back, or even a longer rotation, etc). Represents that there are folks out there who might be the next big thing but have just never been given the chance, even though everyone's doing their best to bring back America's passtime.
