That's a package you give up for Pedro in 1998 or Halladay in 2009. I'm not convinced Crochet is at that level.
Why not just sign Fried and save your prospects. Hell, sign your ace pitchers because most of them at least already have their TJS out of the way and you won't lose a year (though ironically in this case Crochet already has too)

There’s a 90% chance that May and Glasnow will be out for the season by August
Love Crochet a lot and would be extremely interested but he’s only been a starter for 1 season and has had serious injury issues in the past

Robot umps can't come fast enough.
Sox gave up two great prospects in Moncada and Kopech to get Chris Sale.
And we got Grissom ( jury is still out on him) when we traded him to Atlanta.
That was a great trade for us as he was a legit number one starter when we acquired him and he helped us win a WS.
Crochet is not a proven number one yet, due to lack of innings pitched. He has very low mileage on his arm, which is good.
If I am making a trade to get him, I deal someone like Crawford, Gonzalez, one of Arias or Romero and throw in someone else.
No way I am trading Mayer in the deal or any of our top 4 prospects.
If we are trading one of Mayer/Teel/Anthony/Campbell I want an everyday player in return, not a pitcher that "could" be a number one someday.

If they trade Mayer they better be f***ing positive he'll never be a star. If he is there's almost no pitcher they can trade him for that'll be worth it considering pitchers can't stay healthy anymore.

It would be so red Sox to piss away seasons waiting for prospects to develop, only to then trade them...
