Boras says Mets reneged. Mets feel Boras misrepresented.

Boras missing a few bucks in the bank, Mets get another pick.

Rocker gets nothing.

For boras this is actually a good thing. He loses a million bucks (if he gets 15% or what) but by demonstrating that he is occasionally willing to walk away from a deal and take nothing he demonstrates the clubs that he is willing to take a zero if his demand is not met. For the individual player it is a big risk but the GMs know Boras won't budge so they usually don't even try to low ball him.

That is the risk players take with Boras, they know most of the time he gets his good deal but there is a small chance as a player you get screwed over.

Boras plays the long game, he can occasionally lose a deal when it strengthens his overall position.
