The parents of Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm used limited liability companies to funnel millions of dollars out of his financial accounts for their own use, according to a lawsuit obtained by the Daily Mail.
'Though Alec's investigation into the status of his assets remains on-going and is far from complete, an initial investigation leads Alec to believe and, therefore, aver that [his parents] Daniel and Lisa misappropriated a very large sum of money from Alec,' read the complaint.
In total, Alec claims his parents tried to 'freeze' him out of four LLCs as they 'converted a sizeable amount' of his earnings into accounts intended for their own use. The 29-year-old slugger is seeking at least $1 million as well as interest, penalties, costs, attorneys' fees and anything else the court deems appropriate.
Filed in Pennsylvania and first reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer, the lawsuit claims Daniel and Lisa Bohm set up two LLCs for their baseball star son in 2019 so they could manage his growing assets. Alec's parents told him they would need to hold a 10-percent stake in the LLCs in order to administer his funds, but insisted he still 'owned all the assets, funds, and anything else,' according to the filing.
'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 continued.
Alec's parents also launched a foundation in his name, but according to the lawsuit, both the LLCs and the charity were used by Daniel and Lisa for their own financial purposes.

As of the 2026 season, Alec Bohm is earning $10.2 million for the year under a one‑year contract he agreed to with the Philadelphia Phillies to avoid salary arbitration. This amount is his annual salary for 2026 and is the figure most commonly referenced when people talk about his yearly pay.
40% in taxes.
Sounds like there may be a bit of family tension there. Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers could be awkward.
Mostly the child would give them the money if they asked but they don't want to ask.
It is a weird dynamic.
He might have been willing to take care of them, if they had been good parents.
Daniel and Lisa Bohm!
Years of fraud???
Seems as if Somalian parents can have Christian names...
Thanks mom. Thanks dad.
