Looking to add a center fielder, the Washington Nationals have reportedly contacted free agent Gerardo Parra, according to Bill Ladson of MLB.com.

Parra, who split last season between the Milwaukee Brewers and Baltimore Orioles, has drawn interest from at least four teams this offseason.

The free-agent outfield market remains deep, with Yoenis Cespedes, Justin Upton, Alex Gordon, and Dexter Fowler all remaining, though Parra is arguably the most capable defender of the group, with two Gold Glove awards on his resume.

The 28-year-old is coming off a year in which he hit .291/.328/.452 with a career-high 14 homers to go with 36 doubles and 51 RBIs.

The Nationals have a need at the position, with Denard Span hitting free agency following an injury-plagued 2015 season. Michael Taylor will likely be used as the team's fourth outfielder.
