I don't know the specifics on why and when players retire, and if this has already been posted, please delete.

But I'm entering Year 4 of my franchise. In the last two offseasons, a large group of players ages 34-36 have retired. This includes players coming off of great seasons (Cole Hamels, for instance, at 35 after coming off a 19-win season). It's a significant number - about 30 or so players each of the past two offseasons retired at in that age range (with 35 seemingly being the magic number).

Has anyone else encountered this?
