After Signing with the Boston Red Sox, Roberto played in the Dominican Summer League (DSL) with players like Xander Bogaerts, Mookie Betts, Frank Montas, Manuel Margot, Javy Guerra, and more! This experience allowed him to grow as a player, understand the game, and understand what professional teams look for in baseball players. After being released by the Boston Red Sox, Roberto was offered a job as an assistant coach with the DSL Red Sox 2 but declined as he decided to continue his education and look for a better future at St. Clair College in Canada.
