Chicago White Sox · P · Pre-arbitration
Shane Smith has an estimated 1 year and 14 days of major league service time — 1.014 in the notation clubs use, from 186 days credited on a major league roster.
| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Chicago White Sox | 172 | 1.000 | From transactions |
| 2026 | Chicago White Sox | 14 | 1.014 | 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.
This figure is an estimate reconstructed from public roster
