Alec Bohm’s legal fight with his parents widened last week when his lawyers asked a Philadelphia judge for a preliminary injunction seeking the return of $528,618 allegedly taken from a brokerage account tied to him in March. On Monday, the judge gave Daniel and Lisa Bohm’s legal team 10 days to respond.
The filing says the money was transferred on March 5 from a brokerage account connected to one of the limited liability companies created on Bohm’s behalf to a trust held in the name of his Florida counsel, Robert Eckard. Bohm’s lawyers say requests for the money to be returned have been spurned, and they want the court to stop a separate case the Bohms filed in arbitration in Pinellas County, Fla.
The dispute is part of a broader lawsuit Bohm filed the day before Opening Day, when he accused his parents of mismanaging his baseball earnings through at least four LLCs. That suit seeks $3 million in judgment and says Daniel and Lisa Bohm misrepresented their stakes in the companies, moved his money into them, and used some of the funds for Bohm’s expenses while taking sizeable amounts for their own use.
In a signed affidavit submitted last week, Bohm said his parents pushed him toward hiring Scott Boras in 2020 under what he described as considerable duress, and that the decision was made to further their own interests, to his detriment. Bohm has since fired Boras, hired Nick Chanock — an agent with The Team, formerly Wasserman — and renewed his relationship with Boras Corporation in late March as part of a standard annual review before serving a notice of termination about a week later through the MLB Players Association.
Boras said, “We wish Alec well,” and added, “We know it’s a difficult time.” He also said Bohm “was always very appreciative of our work, especially our recent arbitration victory, and we are grateful for the privilege to work with him for the past six years.” The right-hander is making $10.2 million in his final year of salary arbitration and will be a free agent after the 2026 season, a backdrop that makes the money fight harder to separate from his baseball future. Bohm snapped a hitless streak of 17 at-bats with a single in the third inning of Monday night’s game against the Chicago Cubs, but the off-field case now threatens to shadow the rest of his season even as the legal clock starts ticking again in Philadelphia.
