During the first year of any l/t contract, that's usually true.  In the last year of the contract, it is seldom true.  If Contreras had Bregman's numbers, would anyone be happy with the trade?

One interesting fact is that when you look at the top 10, 20 or 30 contracts in MLB history, year one has not been all that great in several/many of the deals.
