| 2017 | New York Yankees | 60 | 0.060 | From transactions |
| 2018 | Miami Marlins | 172 | 1.060 | From transactions |
| 2019 | Miami Marlins | 172 | 2.060 | From transactions |
| 2020 | Arizona Diamondbacks, Miami Marlins | 172 | 3.060 | From transactions |
| 2021 | Arizona Diamondbacks | 172 | 4.060 | 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.
