The actual contract of Player X has no bearing on his WAR number though........ or am I wrong in saying that?

About a year ago I did a deep dive into the underlying assumptions and calculations of WAR. There was a section about determining the relative contribution of pitching and hitting, and the underlying ratio was driven in part by the amounts teams spent on hitters and pitchers. That's how I recall it, but my memory may be fuzzy.
I'm getting off my WAR soapbox now!
