Call it a family affair in the Alec Bohm household.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s personal accounts, which they \u201cconverted to their own use.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Through their attorney, both of Bohm\u2019s parents denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. 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,\u201d attorney Robert Eckard said, according to the Inquirer. \u201cThey 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Then, according to the lawsuit, the money in those accounts was used for \u201ctraditional investment purposes,\u201d such as stock trading as a means of passive income for Bohm. <\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Bohm\u2019s parents then allegedly transferred an undetermined amount of money \u201cto their own use,\u201d and used money from the Alec Bohm Foundation to \u201cpay their own personal expenses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDaniel and Lisa repeatedly advised Alec that, whenever they acted on his behalf, they did so as Alec\u2019s parents \u2014 whose assistance always came free of charge,\u201d the lawsuit states, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.<\/p>\n

Bohm\u2019s parents then set up two more LLCs when their son became interested in purchasing real estate in late 2024, allegedly advising him that he \u201ccould not take title to the property in his own name,\u201d but did not explain to him why that was the case.<\/p>\n

He now believes that his parents \u201coverstated certain liabilities in order to misappropriate a portion of monies,\u201d according to the lawsuit.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
