Cost per WAR in Free Agency
What are we thinking, around $3m per win, give or take?
So a superstar giving you 5/6 WAR per year is looking at around $15/$20m per. That about right? |

The 2014 numbers are closer to $6M per Fangraphs and it's been around $5M since the recession started, so that looks a bit low to me.

I believe in the 2013/2014 offseason it was closer to 7m/WAR on the open market.

Indeed tejdog, excellent article here on the cost of a free agent WAR.
How Much Does a Win Really Cost? - Beyond the Box Score As you say, about $7m, a staggering amount really. |

Yeah, it was recently ~$7MM/win, but that's a pretty new number. The inflation's been pretty staggering - two years ago it was about $5.5MM/win. I don't really blame OOTP for not figuring out that baseball is experiencing unusual inflation due to gigantic revenue increases (thanks to TV money).

Is the value in OOTP constant, or does it shift/grow as in real life MLB?

I would say the actual number is closer to $6M as that has been the average the past 5 years

There is a difference between the cost of a win and what a player gets on the open market.
