How can parents be like this?' As Much as 4.5 Billion Damages Litigation, What Happened To PHI Star Alec Bohm?

Major leaguer Alec Bohm (30, Philadelphia Phillies) filed a lawsuit worth 3 million won (about 4.5 billion won) against his parents. What the hell happened.

The U.S. Associated Press said on the 27th (Korea Standard Time) that Bohm, who is active in Philadelphia, has filed a lawsuit against his parents.

It was a matter of money. Bohm claims his parents, Daniel and Lisa Bohm, used money for them after using several limited liability companies (LLCs) to siphon it from their personal accounts. Bohm is seeking an accounting report on the whereabouts of the funds in question, along with a damages ruling of at least $3 million.

It is often seen in the sports world that children use the money they earn as their own, but the amount is different.

Bohm was selected by Philadelphia as the third pick in the 2018 MLB Draft and received a down payment of $5.85 million (about 8.8 billion won). According to Spotrac, he earned a total of $1.6 million (about 29.5 billion won) during his career and is expected to earn an additional $10.2 million (about 15.3 billion won) in 2026.

Bohm said that in 2019, the year after the draft, his parents established two LLCs to manage his MLB earnings, and they told him that he could only serve as his legal representative if he had a 10% stake in LLC, but all the income was still his. Since then, the parents have accessed his personal account, restricting the balance of the account, and diverting the money to LLC to use it as their living expenses, according to Bohm. The conflict between Spring and her parents reached its peak in January and seems to have eventually led to a lawsuit.

According to a complaint filed with the court on the 25th after the spring, he, who had previously entrusted his parents with the management of his assets, recognized the problem while checking his financial situation on his own. In the process, he claimed that his parents prevented him from accessing Bom directly even though it was an account in his name and did not give him related information.

His parents have denied all charges. According to Yahoo Sports, their lawyer, Robert Eckard, said, "The Boms love their son very much. They have always acted in the interest of their son, he said. "Bom had the authority to access the account. Rather, his parents paid for him with their personal credit cards. I am deeply saddened by the allegations and sensational and false reports raised through this lawsuit, and I think this is completely groundless."

Bom started as the fourth batter and third baseman in the opening game of the 2026 Major League Baseball (MLB) against the Texas Rangers and led his team to a 5-3 victory with one hit, one walk, three RBIs and one run from three times at bat, including a home run.

As we enter the season, it seems that we will take a cautious approach to out-of-game issues as much as possible. "I will not comment on personal matters," Bohm said after the game. However, he expressed his intention to respond strongly legally, demanding at least $3 million in damages, the return of control of the account, and the appointment of an accountant to track the movement of funds. His parents are now known to live in leisure vehicles and travel around the United States.

According to the lawsuit, Bohm asked his parents for details of his assets, including account statements and login information, in January, and the conflict reached its peak. His parents appointed a lawyer to respond legally.

In addition, they said they had been acting on behalf of Bohm for a fee of $50 an hour. They previously ran a real estate ownership insurance company and are still listed as directors of the Alex Bohm Foundation along with their son, according to Nebraska Public Broadcasting Corporation.

It is a more important issue because he is still in his prime and has more money to earn. He is about to become a free agent (FA) and if he performs well this season, he will be able to touch a large amount of money that is hard to compare with what he has earned so far after 2026. This is because it is one of the most notable third baseman sales in the market.
