| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | St. Louis Cardinals | 49 | 0.049 | From transactions |
| 2013 | St. Louis Cardinals | 36 | 0.085 | From transactions |
| 2014 | San Diego Padres, Los Angeles Dodgers, Kansas City Royals | 29 | 0.114 | From transactions |
| 2015 | Los Angeles Angels | 50 | 0.164 | 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.
