Not sure the Angels would move both. It's somewhat dependent on them acquiring Greinke and needing to open a spot in the rotation and some salary room.
In terms of cost, the actual salary of both would add about $20 million to the payroll for this season. Not sure what the Angels would be looking for in return.
I think, trying to nab one of them, you might be able to make it happen for one of the power RH relievers (Holland, Herrera) + Jose Mijares + minor prospect.
I like the idea of Haren... you'd get a pretty good look at him in the second-half of this season and then can either pick up a somewhat pricy team option ($15 million for next year) or try to work out an extension if he bounces back from this injury. He's going to be 32 before the start of next season, but still likely has several good years left.
