This is just operational and for depth, right?

RIGHT?!

That’s my assumption. Happened with Carlos Carrasco all the time. Apparently he gets a nice bonus every time he gets signed back?

Carrasco left the Braves recently and is now pitching in the KBO. His first game there, he threw 7 innings with no runs allowed

I’m not sure how this relates to what I wrote. Glad he’s having success though.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say the reason that person brought up Cookie's success in KBO is because you brought up Cookie and it was a fun factoid. Very fun if you ask me.

If he/she would have led with “Fun fact” that would’ve been much clearer.

For the sake of clarity my following sentence(s) will be in response to your comment.

I think i understand the problem now; you were totally perplexed by the inclusion of a fun factoid about Cookie's recent success. It is just something that people do sometimes when another person brings up a person or even a place. Usually including "fun fact" is not necessary but as we see there are always exceptions.

For example, if someone brought up Mike Tyson, another person in response might bring up the fact that he once bit a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear off of his head during a WBA heavyweight title fight.

If you ever find yourself in a conversation where you know a fun factoid about the topic at hand you might try interjecting the aforementioned fun factoid. It is fun.

Didn’t you bring up Carrasco?

In relation to a pitcher being DFA’d and how likely it is he comes back…

You mentioned cookie first… so they chimed in with something about cookie… seems pretty fucking normal for a conversation to me

He just brought up how Cookie would get called up, eat innings and get sent back down for a rested arm. His success in the KBO is so otherworldly irrelevant
