The Baltimore Orioles may finally be ready to make a move as the trade deadline approaches.
Baltimore is reportedly speaking with the Milwaukee Brewers about outfielder Gerardo Parra, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports.
Parra - a former Gold Glover known throughout his career for impressive defense - is having a tremendous offensive season for the Brewers, posting a batting line of .326/.367/.517 in 347 plate appearances.
He's also in the midst of a 14-game hitting streak and is hitting an MLB-best .432 in July.
The addition of Parra would add to an outfield mix of Adam Jones, Travis Snider, David Lough, and Nolan Reimold, with Steve Pearce on the 15-day disabled list with an oblique strain.

Baltimore sits second in the American League East, six games back of the New York Yankees and one game out of a wild-card spot, yet the Orioles have been one of the least active teams leading up to the trade deadline.
