Call it a family affair in the Alec Bohm household.
The Phillies third baseman has sued his parents for allegedly defrauding him out of millions of dollars while managing his finances, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported on Thursday.
In the lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, Bohm alleges that his parents, Daniel and Lisa, used multiple limited liability companies to transfer money from the former All-Star’s personal accounts, which they “converted to their own use.”

The lawsuit is seeking a judgment of at least $3 million, with Bohm saying the situation dates back to 2019, when his parents established two LLCs to hold any money he earned from playing baseball.
Through their attorney, both of Bohm’s parents denied any wrongdoing.
“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,” attorney Robert Eckard said, according to the Inquirer. “They are deeply saddened by the allegations made against them in this lawsuit and the sensational false narrative painted here, which they believe are entirely without merit.”
Bohm signed with the Phillies after being drafted with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft. He is making $10.2 million after avoiding an arbitration hearing.
He alleges that his parents told him they needed to take a 10 percent interest in the LLCs in order to be authorized representatives, but he would ultimately get back any funds they contained.
Then, according to the lawsuit, the money in those accounts was used for “traditional investment purposes,” such as stock trading as a means of passive income for Bohm.

Nevertheless, Bohm’s parents then allegedly transferred an undetermined amount of money “to their own use,” and used money from the Alec Bohm Foundation to “pay their own personal expenses.”
“Daniel and Lisa repeatedly advised Alec that, whenever they acted on his behalf, they did so as Alec’s parents — whose assistance always came free of charge,” the lawsuit states, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Bohm’s parents then set up two more LLCs when their son became interested in purchasing real estate in late 2024, allegedly advising him that he “could not take title to the property in his own name,” but did not explain to him why that was the case.
He now believes that his parents “overstated certain liabilities in order to misappropriate a portion of monies,” according to the lawsuit.
Bohm is asking the court to order his parents to return any money they used for personal purposes, along with seeking an order from the court that would give him full control of all LLCs involved.
Bohm’s attorney did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
