some 538 article I searched for:

FanGraphs has a way of converting a player’s WAR into his monetary value on the open (free agent) market. The site calculates how much teams spend per projected WAR in a given season1 and then applies that “market price” to each player’s output at the end of the season. That gives us a sense of how much it would cost to buy the WAR he created. FanGraphs isn’t the only one to perform this calculation — so we’re dealing with a bit of estimation here — but if you take a consensus average, teams were willing to pay about $7.7 million for every additional WAR this season.


Not really trying to relaunch the "WAR debate" but "in theory" to play up to his contract, David Price should only need to average a WAR of just above 4.0 over the next 7 years to be "worth" his contract. A feat he accomplished in 6 of his 7 previous full seasons and a mark he'll likely still hit this season

correct?
