Will Benson has an estimated 3 years and 92 days of major league service time — 3.092 in the notation clubs use, from 608 days credited on a major league roster.
| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Cleveland Indians | 66 | 0.066 | From transactions |
| 2023 | Cincinnati Reds | 147 | 1.041 | From transactions |
| 2024 | Cincinnati Reds | 172 | 2.041 | From transactions |
| 2025 | Cincinnati Reds | 133 | 3.002 | From transactions |
| 2026 | Cincinnati Reds | 90 | 3.092 | 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.
