In Major League Baseball (MLB), service time manipulation refers to tactics that baseball team executives employ to prevent players from becoming eligible for free agency and salary arbitration. It typically takes the form of demoting a player from the major league to the minor leagues for 16 days or more for reasons unrelated to their performance.
The arbitrator chooses one number or the other, based on which offer is closest to the salaries of players with similar ability and service time. For purposes of salary arbitration and free agency, a player acquires a year of service time if the player remains on the major league roster for at least 172 days of the typical 187-day season.
