| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011 | Houston Astros | 59 | 0.059 | From transactions |
| 2012 | Houston Astros | 38 | 0.097 | From transactions |
| 2013 | Houston Astros | 80 | 1.005 | From transactions |
| 2014 | Baltimore Orioles, Kansas City Royals | 59 | 1.064 | From transactions |
| 2015 | Baltimore Orioles | 172 | 2.064 | From transactions |
| 2016 | Toronto Blue Jays, Philadelphia Phillies | 172 | 3.064 | 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.
