Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm has filed a lawsuit against his parents, Daniel and Lisa Bohm, accusing them of misusing millions of dollars from accounts they managed on his behalf.

The suit, filed Wednesday in Philadelphia court, seeks at least $3 million in damages along with control of the accounts and a full accounting of transactions.

According to court documents, Bohm alleges his parents transferred substantial sums from his personal accounts into four limited liability companies established starting in 2019 for investments and real estate. They assigned themselves a 10 percent stake for administrative purposes while assuring him he remained the true owner.

The filing claims they converted funds to their own use, including paying personal expenses, and utilized money from The Alec Bohm Foundation similarly. When Bohm requested account details in January, access was reportedly denied.

Bohm, 29, has a $10.2 million contract for the 2026 season after being drafted third overall in 2018. He declined to comment on the matter following the Phillies’ season-opening victory.

“I’m not going to address any personal matters right now,” he told reporters.

Through their attorney, the parents denied wrongdoing, stating they are deeply saddened by the allegations and have always acted in their son’s best interests.

“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,” their attorney, Robert Eckard, said in a statement.
