Friday, March 27, 2026 - Philadelphia Phillies third baseman, Alec Bohm, has filed a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against his parents, alleging they diverted substantial sums of his money into accounts under their control and used part of the funds to cover their personal expenses.
The suit, filed on Wednesday, March 24, in a
Philadelphia court, comes after he began to review his personal and financial
affairs in recent months, and said that his parents refused to give him access
to the accounts or provide him with the information he sought about them.
They sought to “freeze” him out of four accounts established
as limited liability companies and he now believes they “converted a sizeable
amount” of his money from those accounts “to their own use,” the lawsuit said.
By the time he sought the information, his parents had
already transferred millions of dollars from his personal accounts to the
accounts they controlled, the lawsuit said.
Bohm’s parents, Daniel and Lisa Bohm, denied doing anything
wrong and, through their lawyer, said they are “deeply saddened by the
allegations” and will aggressively defend themselves. Alec Bohm has had full
access to the accounts, and his parents are paying his expenses on their
personal credit cards, their lawyer, Robert Eckard, said in a statement.
“Mr. and Mrs. Bohm love their son very much and have always
acted in his best interests, both personally and professionally, and still do
so to this day,” Eckard said.
After Thursday's 2026 season opening game, Bohm declined to
comment to reporters, saying, "I'm not going to address any personal
matters right now."
Both parties say the first of the accounts was opened in
2019. His parents told him that they assigned themselves a 10% stake, strictly
for administration purposes, and that Bohm was the “true” owner of all of the
LLC's assets, Bohm's lawsuit said.
The accounts had various purposes, such as investing in
securities or buying real estate. Bohm's lawsuit also said they used money from
the Alec Bohm Foundation to pay their expenses.
Bohm’s lawsuit asks his parents to pay at least $3 million
in damages, hand over control of the accounts, and hire an accountant to track
every dollar they transferred from Bohm's personal accounts to the accounts
they controlled.
The lawsuit said his parents live in a recreational vehicle
and travel the country.
Bohm, 29, has a $10.2 million contract with the Phillies for
the 2026 baseball season.
