He wasn't good last year, but a one-year deal on Porcello ain't ****. Absolutely worth the shot he rebounds.
Worst case, you spent a little cash. Best case, you get a guy you can flip at the deadline and swipe a decent prospect or two with.
100% worth.

He did receive multi-year deals but decided to go with the Mets' one-year deal offer

He's a crook. Players don't need agents. Just need lawyer to look over the terms so that there isn't any funny business.

Boras gets way too much credit. Cole, Stras, and Rendon did not get paid because of him.

I'm not stupid. The NBPA has a program for players who do not want to use agents. Marbury and Nowitzki are among them who've used it. An agent does not get you more money. That's what I'm clearly getting at.

What else do agents do besides negotiate contracts and get them sponsorship deals?

Speaking in general terms - lawyers who focus on contract law do quite well.
Sports agents do more than just the contract aspect.
