Last with Toronto Blue Jays · 1B · No longer on a 40-man roster
David Cooper has an estimated 137 days of major league service time — 0.137 in the notation clubs use, from 137 days credited on a major league roster.
| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011 | Toronto Blue Jays | 40 | 0.040 | From transactions |
| 2012 | Toronto Blue Jays | 97 | 0.137 | 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.
This figure is an estimate reconstructed from public roster
transaction records. It is not an official MLB or MLBPA figure — those are
