Service time is years+days (172 days is a year), through last season per FanGraphs RosterResource; the “now” column adds this season's days from the transaction log. Options left is reconstructed from every option and recall since 2010, with the 20-day rule and spring-training exclusion applied; ▾ marks a player who has already used a 2026 option year. Assignments left counts against the five-per-season cap. * = five or more years of service, so he can refuse an assignment regardless.
Cut / option risk is the model's probability that he is designated or released, and that he is optioned, within the next 90 days, from roster status and history alone (how it is built and how well it does). RED means the club is exposed (out of options, Rule 5, free agency); GREEN means the player holds a consent right; AMBER is something about to change. Hover a stamp for the reason, or open the player for the full explanation and history. Data as of Sep 27, 2026.
