Terry Francona's Boston Red Sox World Series rings, apparently, are a hot commodity. 

The former Red Sox manager's 2004 and 2007 World Series rings were reported stolen last month, but have since been recovered, according to the Pima County, Ariz. Sheriff's Department.

The sheriff's department report, according to ESPN, noted Francona's rings had been bought by a Phoenix sports memorabilia store. 33-year-old Jamey Estep has since been arrested and charged with second-degree burglary, theft and trafficking of stolen property. A $245,830 check belonging to Francona also was fradulently deposited earlier in the year. 

Francona, 60, managed the Red Sox from 2004-2011 before moving on to the Cleveland Indians. Through his seven-year career in Cleveland, Francona is 638-494 with one AL Pennant. He won Manager of the Year in 2013 and 2016.

Like New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's Super Bowl jerseys, it's clear that Boston sports memorabilia always will be highly sought after.
