| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | Atlanta Braves | 16 | 0.016 | From transactions |
| 2017 | Atlanta Braves | 66 | 0.082 | From transactions |
| 2018 | Atlanta Braves | 26 | 0.108 | From transactions |
| 2019 | Baltimore Orioles | 172 | 1.108 | From transactions |
| 2020 | Baltimore Orioles | 172 | 2.108 | Carried forward |
| 2021 | Baltimore Orioles, Colorado Rockies | 97 | 3.033 | 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.
