"I love Crisp, he just isn't worth Marte. And he isn't a CF"

This means that I think Marte is worth more than Crisp, so obviously Marte + Mota is worth more than Crisp. There wasn't much point of mentioning him.

Calling him a top setup man is still an overstatement. He had 2 great years, what about the other 5? Don't forget that he has never thrown a pitch in the American League. Relievers, more than any other position, "come and go" so to speak. Tis why (other than closers) there are few guys who remain great relievers for long periods of time, and why only a select few get multiyear deals.
