Stark On LaHair, Encarnacion, Orioles, Vargas

Here's some news from the Twitter feed of ESPN's Jayson Stark...

• Two executives who have recently spoken to the Cubs say that Chicago is mentioning Bryan LaHair's name in trade talks.  LaHair made the All-Star team after a hot start, though as Stark notes, is hitting just .220/.278/.341 since May 15.
• Stark was somewhat surprised by Edwin Encarnacion's three-year extension with the Blue Jays, as he reports the Jays were gauging trade interest in Encarnacion as late as last week.
• The Orioles' interest in Matt Garza has faded and the O's are now "poking around on Jason Vargas."  The Braves are also known to be looking at the Mariners southpaw, as Stark reported last month.  MLBTR's Ben Nicholson-Smith recently examined Vargas as a trade candidate.
