then why do they do it in the nba and nhl?

I'm talking about MLB, Boras and Skubal. Tampering isn't something that's done by GMs and agents. GMs are fired or quit every year. To trust none of them will ever talk is very naive. An agent like Boras would put 100's of millions of dollars at risk for very, very little gain. If Skubal signs a $400m contract, Boras would make $40m at 10%. Bump that contract up to 440m by tampering and he would make $4m extra at 10%. He's not going to risk all the money he makes from other players for a measly $4 million bucks. Speculating that there are secret talks or hidden handshake deals is just that, speculation. If there was any proof, Boras would lose every player under contract or future free agent contracts. I'm telling ya, it's just not worth it. Now if someone were to say that Boras is unethical, I would agree. Taking a free agent's offer and shopping it around may be allowed but IMO, it's very unethical.
