As he posted one fan’s comment that “he got really tan overnight,” Rodriguez explained in response, “Alright everybody, I know that I’m dark. But I am Dominican and I went on vacation, and I fell asleep in the sun.”

“So everybody calm down,” he continued, before saying in Spanish, “Traquilito y suavecito, mi gente,” which translates to “Quiet and calm, my people.”
