Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm’s parents are attempting to have his lawsuit against them dismissed, The Athletic reported, citing Philadelphia court documents.

Bohm is suing his parents for at least $3 million, alleging they defrauded him out of earnings while they managed his finances.

“This is a private, family dispute regarding personal finances,” Daniel and Lisa Bohm stated in their objections, per The Athletic: “with no nexus to Philadelphia, that is subject to arbitration in Florida.”

Alec’s parents reportedly are contending that this matter should be disputed in Florida instead of Philadelphia since two of the limited liability companies they managed on his behalf are established in the Sunshine State, and they are denying the allegations.

Their son filed the lawsuit in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on March 25 and alleged that they used said LLCs to transfer money from his accounts, which they “converted to their use.”

He stated the LLCs had been established to hold earnings from his baseball career, with Bohm being selected by the Phillies with the third pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, and his parents cautioning him that a third party may take advantage of him, according to The Athletic.

Alec alleges the situation dates back to 2019, his parents telling him they needed to control 10 percent of his LLCs to become authorized representatives and they would pay him back.

He claims his parents ultimately took the money for their “own use” and employing funds from his Alec Bohm Foundation to “pay for their own personal expenses.”

Alec further alleged they established two more LLCs in 2024 when he explored real estate opportunities, telling him he couldn’t buy property in his name.

He said his parents “overstated certain liabilities in order to misappropriate a portion of monies.”

Alec reportedly is seeking $3 million, plus returning $528,618 to a brokerage account and full control of the LLCs.

“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,” Daniel and Lisa’s attorney Robert Eckard told the Philadelphia Inquirer at the time. “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.”

Daniel and Lisa allege that the situation escalated last October when Alec informed them that his girlfriend was planning to move in with him at his Texas residence, but she had issues living in a house “controlled” by his parents since the property was owned by Next Level LLC, per The Athletic.

They claim they told their son that he ultimately controls the LLC since he owns 90 percent to their 10, and did not believe anything was truly amiss.

“When Daniel and I left Texas the next day, we remained concerned as to what might be going on and who was truly behind the scenes, but we nevertheless believed that Alec was satisfied with our answers and we didn’t receive any follow-up questions from Alec after we left,” the court documents state, per The Athletic.

In January, Alec’s legal team at Barwin Zaum allegedly began requesting information from his parents and the parents alleged he ghosted his father when he attempted to chat with him.

Daniel and Lisa’s legal team at Holland & Knight reportedly offered a similar timeline to their son regarding the creation of the LLCs and managing his fund, including an account created shortly after he was drafted in 2018 by a financial partner that they claimed all three could access.

“Daniel and Lisa sincerely hope that this information, which has always been known to Alec, helps him realize that the claims he asserted are misguided and unfounded,” Siobhan Cole, a partner at Holland & Knight, told The Athletic. “Daniel and Lisa remain committed, above all else, to restoring their relationship with their son and putting this matter behind their family.”

The parents also allege that the initial fund was based in Florida, which is part of their reason for arguing it’s not a Philadelphia court argument, and that the Keystone state was instead where their son signed and donated gear as part of his Alec Bohm Foundation.

Daniel and Lisa said it would be “fundamentally unfair” for this matter to be handled in Pennsylvania, according to The Athletic.

“All states also have an interest in avoiding sensational and unfair news coverage relating to those family disputes,” their claim reads, per the outlet.

“Both of those substantive policy interests are furthered by getting this case out of Pennsylvania, where the notoriety of Plaintiff’s employer has resulted in this private family affair turning into a media circus.”

The $528,618 being requested by Bohm allegedly was transferred to an account “held by a trust” with the name of his parents’ Florida lawyer, according to The Athletic.

Alec reportedly alleged that money is being used for their legal efforts, while they say its for LLC costs.

Daniel and Lisa claim they transferred that money to protect against an “emergency.”

“…after Plaintiff drained the companies of most of their assets, and making sure that Plaintiff has a nest egg in case other individuals who do not have his best interests at heart run away with the rest of his money while this dispute is ongoing,” they claimed in the documents, per The Athletic.

His parents reportedly included texts in their filing, showing discussions about paying bills and stock purchases.

With the situation turning sour, his parents allegedly are attempting to receive money for the time and effort they put into managing his finances.

Alec’s lawyers alleged in their filing they had a note from Eckard stating Daniel and Lisa’s “membership interests” equaled $767,000 on March 1, and hinted that it would be “less adversarial” for him to purchase those stocks than settle this in court, per The Athletic.

His parents allegedly also hinted at potentially charging him $50 per hour for their work over their multiyear period.

“Alec was also more than happy to have us handle the legwork for all of his personal business,” Daniel said in the filing, according to The Athletic.

“He was more than happy for us to take care of and maintain his residences and run his foundation, while he focused solely on baseball, which we spent many, many hours doing. We never asked for or received any payment for any of the work we did for Alec. We did that work as his parents who love him.”
