Alec Bohm seeks return of $528,618 from parents, fires agent Scott Boras amid legal battle
PHILADELPHIA — Alec Bohm’s lawyers requested a preliminary injunction last week, seeking the return of $528,618 that his parents purportedly withdrew from a brokerage account attached to Bohm in March, as part of an ongoing legal action alleging Bohm’s parents mismanaged his finances.
A Philadelphia judge ruled Monday that Daniel and Lisa Bohm’s legal team has 10 days to respond to the petition. In addition, Bohm and his lawyers have asked the judge to halt a case that Bohm’s parents brought to an arbitration court in Pinellas County, Fla., arguing these matters should be adjudicated in Philadelphia.
The injunction filing alleges Bohm’s parents intended to use the $528,618 to pay for their legal expenses. It details new allegations of financial impropriety against the parents of the Philadelphia Phillies third baseman, whose initial lawsuit against them seeks $3 million in judgment.
Amid the legal dispute, Bohm has fired his agent, Scott Boras. Bohm, who has struggled to begin an important season before reaching free agency, has hired Nick Chanock, who previously represented Bohm. Chanock is an agent with The Team (formerly Wasserman).
Bohm, in a signed affidavit submitted to the court last week, alleged that his parents steered him toward hiring Boras in 2020 under “considerable duress” to “further their own interests, to my detriment.” That decision, Bohm contended, was largely because his parents disagreed with a third-party financial advisor recommended to him by Wasserman’s agents.
Bohm renewed his relationship with Boras Corporation in late March as part of a standard annual review that every MLB player conducts. Then, about a week later, Bohm served Boras Corporation a notice of termination through the MLB Players Association.
“We wish Alec well,” Boras told The Athletic on Monday. “We know it’s a difficult time. He was always very appreciative of our work, especially our recent arbitration victory, and we are grateful for the privilege to work with him for the past six years.”
Bohm is making $10.2 million in his final year of salary arbitration. He will be a free agent after the 2026 season. He snapped a hitless streak of 17 at-bats with a single in the third inning of Monday night’s game against the Chicago Cubs.

In the lawsuit, which was filed the day before Opening Day, Bohm alleged his parents mismanaged his finances via limited liability companies (LLCs) created to hold some of his baseball earnings. The filing alleges that, upon moving Bohm’s money to the LLCs, Daniel and Lisa invested some of these funds, used a portion for Bohm’s expenses and employed “sizeable amounts” for their own use. Daniel and Lisa created at least four LLCs and misrepresented their stakes in the entities, the filing alleges.
New documents filed as part of the preliminary injunction paint a more complete picture of allegations from both parties. Bohm’s legal team alleged that, on March 5, Lisa and Daniel transferred $528,618 from a brokerage account connected to one of the LLCs created on Bohm’s behalf to a trust held in the name of their Florida counsel, Robert Eckard. Requests for the money to be returned, the filing alleges, have been spurned.
“In doing so,” Bohm’s lawyers wrote, “Daniel and Lisa evidently sought to set aside a war chest to fund their litigation expenses, weeks before Alec commenced this lawsuit, knowing full well that they never intended to honor the terms of their arrangement as represented to Alec.”
Siobhan Cole of Holland & Knight, who is representing Daniel and Lisa Bohm in Pennsylvania, said her team looks “forward to presenting the facts to the Court.”
“The careless accusations asserted against our clients are untrue,” Cole wrote in an email to The Athletic. “Daniel and Lisa Bohm have done nothing but care for their son and protect his personal wealth and safety. They are prepared to demonstrate that, in detail, with financial records showing that Alec’s assets are intact and have always been readily available to him.”
Bohm’s lawyers at Zarwin Baum declined to comment beyond their previous statement, which said they are conducting a “thorough examination of the financial activity in question.”
While managing Bohm’s LLCs, Daniel and Lisa transferred more than $6.5 million to brokerage accounts connected to two of the LLCs between July 2020 and October 2025, the injunction filing alleges. Of this money, more than $5.6 million was allegedly transferred between June 3, 2024, and Oct. 6, 2025. Per the injunction filing, Daniel and Lisa did not contribute any of their own funds to the accounts.
The filing also alleges that Daniel and Lisa reported “exorbitant expenses” for one of the LLCs. In 2024, expenses for advertising, supplies and postage were $123,972.00. In that LLC’s early years (2019-21), more than $95,000 was allegedly spent on legal and professional fees.
In a written affidavit, Bohm claimed Daniel and Lisa admonished him in March 2020 for his choice of agent and financial advisor. Bohm alleged that Daniel demanded the financial advisor transfer money into the LLCs, but the advisor refused to do so without confirmation that Bohm wholly owned those companies.
Bohm wrote that Daniel misrepresented evidence that his agent and financial advisor lacked “appropriate qualifications.”
“In doing so, Daniel and Lisa misrepresented the conduct of my player-agent and, by implication, my financial advisor, spinning a web of lies designed to make me believe that my player-agent and financial advisor failed and refused to take certain actions in my best interest,” Bohm wrote in an affidavit dated Thursday. “Based on information that has since come to light (in the past 72 hours), I now understand that my player-agent and financial advisor refused to adhere to Daniel’s directives, which if followed, would have required my financial advisor to act contrary to my interests.”

Instead of searching for a new agent and financial advisor, Bohm wrote, “Daniel and Lisa implored me to entrust them with the management of my financial affairs and hire Scott D. Boras of the Boras Corporation as my new player-agent (who, unbeknownst to me, Daniel and Lisa had already arranged for me to hire).”
In January 2026, Bohm asserts he began to question his parents for information about the LLCs. A note from Bohm’s legal team sent on Jan. 26 requested documents such as operations reports, account registries, ledgers, governing documents, and more from the four LLCs and the foundation Daniel and Lisa created on Bohm’s behalf.
When Lisa and Daniel had counsel create operating agreements for two of the LLCs, the filing alleges, it contradicted their representations to Alec — including that they would not receive economic benefit from the entities. Bohm’s lawsuit alleges that Daniel and Lisa told Bohm they needed to have 10 percent stakes in the LLCs to administer his funds, but that he would remain the sole owner of anything held by the accounts. Bohm’s petition contends his parents did not share the text of the LLC operating agreements with him until last month.
Now, Daniel and Lisa are allegedly seeking compensation from their stakes in these LLCs. Their Florida counsel, Eckard, alleged in a note to Bohm’s legal team that on or about March 2, Alec withdrew $165,482 from one LLC, $121,464 from another and $15,788.18 from a third LLC. Eckard alleges Bohm did not possess unilateral authority to liquidate company bank accounts or dispose of assets without the express approval of other managers — meaning his parents, per the operating agreements.
Eckard calculated Daniel and Lisa’s membership interests in the LLCs to equal $767,001 as of March 1. He wrote in the note to Bohm’s team that it could be less adversarial and costly for Bohm to purchase these stakes rather than taking legal action.
“Daniel and Lisa Bohm have always acted in what they believe to be the best interests of their son, and they continue to do so,” Eckard wrote to Bohm’s legal team. “Also, The Parents have consistently maintained open communication with Alec regarding Company operations, financial performance, and strategic decisions. They have provided him with access to financial statements, tax returns and other Company records as required by the (operating agreements) and in the spirit of familial cooperation.”
The operating agreements are part of why Daniel and Lisa have tried to handle the LLCs’ issues in arbitration court in Pinellas County, Fla., where the LLCs are incorporated.
Daniel and Lisa also share the same Clearwater, Fla., address as Bohm in the initial lawsuit. A note from Bohm’s legal team to Daniel and Lisa’s team on Feb. 2 asked the parents to vacate the property ahead of Bohm’s arrival for spring training. Daniel and Lisa were located in a recreational vehicle resort in Brooksville, Fla., their vehicles bearing Montana plates, when served legal documents on March 31.
The arbitration filing alleges Bohm caused injury to the LLCs via: unauthorized transfer of money, depletion and closure of company bank accounts; exposing the companies to litigation; and more.
The existence of the operating agreements signed by Bohm, Daniel and Lisa’s legal team contends, makes the arbitration court a proper venue for the dispute. But the preliminary injunction filed by Bohm’s legal team alleges the agreements are fraudulent because he was misled about the terms and, therefore, injunctive relief should be granted. Bohm, in a written affidavit, said after reviewing the agreements last month, he does not recall signing the documents and questions if the signatures are his.
His legal team also alleges Bohm could stand to lose plenty should injunctive relief not be granted, as his parents’ assets are seemingly limited to a 2009 GMC Yukon XL and the RV in Brooksville.
“Indeed, unlike Alec who stands to suffer yet another loss in the amount of $528,618.00 as a direct result of Daniel’s and Lisa’s conduct,” Bohm’s lawyers wrote, “Daniel and Lisa will not suffer any injury at all because Daniel and Lisa lacked any right to convert the monies at issue to their own use in the first place.”
