| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011 | Pittsburgh Pirates | 39 | 0.039 | From transactions |
| 2012 | Pittsburgh Pirates | 44 | 0.083 | From transactions |
| 2013 | Minnesota Twins | 22 | 0.105 | From transactions |
| 2014 | Minnesota Twins | 109 | 1.042 | From transactions |
| 2015 | Minnesota Twins | 64 | 1.106 | From transactions |
| 2016 | Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals | 172 | 2.106 | From transactions |
| 2017 | St. Louis Cardinals | 110 | 3.044 | 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.
