| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | New York Mets | 115 | 0.115 | From transactions |
| 2013 | New York Mets | 72 | 1.015 | From transactions |
| 2014 | New York Mets | 108 | 1.123 | From transactions |
| 2015 | Los Angeles Angels, New York Mets | 151 | 2.102 | From transactions |
| 2016 | Milwaukee Brewers | 172 | 3.102 | Carried forward |
| 2017 | Milwaukee Brewers | 21 | 3.123 | 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.
