Strictly speaking, it's more than that. A player is contractually bound to his major league organization while in the minors for seven seasons before he becomes a free agent. And if advanced to the major league roster, it takes six years of major league service to qualify for free agency which might take more than six calendar years to acquire if he spends much of his option years in the minors.
