I'm assuming you say this meaning that WAR is supposedly based off comparing Player X to a replacement level (league minimum salary) player.
The actual contract of Player X has no bearing on his WAR number though........ or am I wrong in saying that?
If the Cubs are happy with Cody Bellinger's bounce back and they decide to lock him up on a long term big money deal tomorrow, his WAR doesn't immediately drop because now his production value compared to his salary has changed.
