Alec Bohm, the 30-year-old starting infielder for the Philadelphia Phillies, has filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against his parents, accusing them of misappropriating his assets.
The Associated Press reported on Sunday, citing a complaint filed in a Philadelphia court. According to the report, Bohm's parents, Daniel Bohm and Lisa Bohm, allegedly siphoned millions of dollars while managing their son's bank accounts.
The couple is accused of using the funds for stock investments and real estate purchases without informing their son.
Bohm reportedly discovered the alleged misappropriation while recently reviewing his financial situation. He requested access and information regarding the accounts, but his parents refused, according to the report. Bohm then filed a lawsuit seeking at least $3 million (approximately 4.5 billion won) in damages, alleging his parents used his funds for personal gain.
The parents have denied all allegations. Their attorney said, "The couple loves their son and has always acted in his best interest." Bohm, however, claims his parents diverted his assets for lavish spending.
The AP reported, citing the complaint, that "Bohm's parents are currently living in a recreational vehicle and traveling across the United States."
Bohm debuted in the major leagues in 2020 and became a starting infielder for Philadelphia from the 2021 season. In the 2025 season, he batted .287 with 11 home runs and 59 RBIs in 120 games, posting a .740 OPS. Ahead of the 2026 season, he signed a one-year, $10.2 million (15.4 billion won) contract with Philadelphia.
On Sunday, the day the lawsuit became public, Bohm started at third base and batted cleanup in the 2026 MLB regular season home opener against the Texas Rangers. He hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the bottom of the fifth inning, leading the team to a 5-3 victory. Before the game, Bohm told reporters, "I'm not going to comment on personal matters."
