Alec Bohm, the third baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies, has filed a lawsuit against his parents, accusing them of misappropriating millions of dollars from financial accounts they managed on his behalf.
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in a Philadelphia court, alleges that Bohm’s parents, Daniel and Lisa Bohm, transferred substantial sums from his personal accounts into four limited liability companies under their control. According to court filings, Bohm claims his parents then used portions of those funds to cover their own personal expenses.
Bohm said he began reviewing his financial affairs in recent months and requested access to the accounts, but alleges his parents refused to provide information or grant him control. The suit claims they attempted to “freeze” him out of the accounts, which he says were established for purposes such as securities investments and real estate purchases.
By the time he sought full transparency, Bohm believes millions had already been moved into accounts managed solely by his parents. The lawsuit further alleges that funds linked to The Alec Bohm Foundation were also used for personal expenses.
In response, the elder Bohms denied any wrongdoing. Through their attorney, Robert Eckard, they said they are “deeply saddened by the allegations” and will vigorously defend themselves. The statement maintains that Bohm had full access to the accounts and that his parents often covered his expenses using their own credit cards.
After the Phillies’ 2026 season opener, Bohm declined to comment publicly on the matter.
The lawsuit seeks at least $3 million in damages, full control of the accounts, and a detailed forensic accounting of all transactions. Bohm, 29, is earning $10.2 million this season.
