Korey Lee has an estimated 2 years and 18 days of major league service time — 2.018 in the notation clubs use, from 362 days credited on a major league roster.
| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Houston Astros | 32 | 0.032 | From transactions |
| 2023 | Chicago White Sox | 40 | 0.072 | From transactions |
| 2024 | Chicago White Sox | 172 | 1.072 | From transactions |
| 2025 | Chicago White Sox | 118 | 2.018 | From transactions |
| 2026 | Chicago White Sox | 0 | 2.018 | 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.
