| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | San Diego Padres | 52 | 0.052 | From transactions |
| 2024 | San Diego Padres | 157 | 1.037 | From transactions |
| 2025 | San Diego Padres | 77 | 1.114 | From transactions |
| 2026 | Washington Nationals, San Diego Padres, Toronto Blue Jays | 172 | 2.114 | 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.
