New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman was reportedly one of the "wealthy marks" a ring of Miami burglars targeted.

David Ovalle of the Miami Herald reported the news, noting police "busted" the ring Tuesday.

Eight of the 10 suspects have been arrested, and the group as a whole is facing charges such as racketeering, conspiracies and burglary. Xandi Garcia is considered the ringleader, and he was already in jail for a different case in which he allegedly broke into the hotel room of a celebrity jeweler Eric Mavashev and stole a safe that included between $1.
