Last with Toronto Blue Jays · P · No longer on a 40-man roster
Glenn Sparkman has an estimated 2 years and 65 days of major league service time — 2.065 in the notation clubs use, from 409 days credited on a major league roster.
| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | Toronto Blue Jays | 3 | 0.003 | From transactions |
| 2018 | Kansas City Royals | 73 | 0.076 | From transactions |
| 2019 | Kansas City Royals | 161 | 1.065 | From transactions |
| 2020 | Kansas City Royals | 172 | 2.065 | 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.
