There’s been some discussion recently of the earliest date that Trea Turner could be called up and not reach a full year of service time (172 days) by the end of this season. The various people who have weighed in on this have discussed the matter off-line, and there is now a consensus that the magic date is May 30. If that is Turner’s first day on the roster, he would accumulate service time this year as follows:
2015 — 45
April — 0
May — 2 (May 30, 31)
June — 30
July –31
August — 31
September -30
October — 2 (October 1, 2)
Total — 171

This does not mean, of course, that Turner will be called up on May 30. But if the Nats want to preserve that extra year of team control, they won’t call him up before then.
