Even if that daily dish article wasn't serious, some of those proposals they had from other teams were so much better than the ones they had for the Cubs. Why the hell would the Angels want an injured DH, a guy hitting under .200, and a decent infielder that might K too much when they can get Cespedes and Matt Harvey from the Mets or 3 of Boston's best young players in Bogaerts, Bradley, and Betts?
I also laugh at the idea that Adam Eaton, Carlos Rodon, and all of our best prospects is somehow the worst deal they can come up with.
Angels wouldn't be looking for guys like Cespedes/Harvey. They'd want cost-controlled guys like Syndergaard and Conforto. The Red Sox to me easily have the best farm system of any team that would be a match, as they have top young pitching (Espinoza and ERod) as well as stud position players.
