| 2018 | Los Angeles Angels | 28 | 0.028 | From transactions |
| 2019 | St. Louis Cardinals | 29 | 0.057 | From transactions |
| 2020 | Seattle Mariners | 69 | 0.126 | From transactions |
| 2021 | Pittsburgh Pirates | 172 | 1.126 | From transactions |
| 2022 | Tampa Bay Rays, Atlanta Braves | 172 | 2.126 | From transactions |
| 2023 | Chicago Cubs | 172 | 3.126 | 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.
