Cleveland Indians first baseman Mark Reynolds was designated for assignment on Thursday, according to multiple media reports, and several teams could be interested in the slumping slugger.

One of those teams, according to ESPN, is the Baltimore Orioles, Reynolds' former team. He donned an Orioles jersey during the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

He hit 60 home runs and 155 RBI in 290 games during his time in Baltimore. Last December, Reynolds agreed to a one-year contract with the Indians worth $6 million.
