| 2008 | Colorado Rockies | 172 | 1.000 | From transactions |
| 2009 | Chicago White Sox | 172 | 2.000 | From transactions |
| 2010 | Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox | 172 | 3.000 | From transactions |
| 2011 | Toronto Blue Jays | 94 | 3.094 | From transactions |
| 2012 | New York Yankees | 154 | 4.076 | From transactions |
| 2013 | New York Yankees | 172 | 5.076 | From transactions |
| 2014 | Kansas City Royals, Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies | 105 | 6.009 | From transactions |
172 days credit a full year, so a season adds at most 1.000 no matter how long a player is on a roster. 3.000 years reaches salary arbitration and 6.000 reaches free agency —
what every threshold unlocks.
