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. Eligibility counts describe players currently on a 40-man roster.

These figures are estimates reconstructed from public roster transaction records. They are not official MLB or MLBPA figures — those are not published. See the methodology. Last updated 2026-10-12.
