Last with Detroit Tigers · P · No longer on a 40-man roster
José A. Váldez has an estimated 171 days of major league service time — 0.171 in the notation clubs use, from 171 days credited on a major league roster.
| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | Detroit Tigers | 38 | 0.038 | From transactions |
| 2016 | Los Angeles Angels | 60 | 0.098 | From transactions |
| 2017 | Los Angeles Angels, San Diego Padres | 51 | 0.149 | From transactions |
| 2018 | San Francisco Giants | 22 | 0.171 | 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.
