Phillies’ Alec Bohm Settles Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit with Parents
Alec Bohm has settled a multi-million-dollar lawsuit with his parents regarding a mishandling-of-finances case.
The PhillyInquirer.com reports that the terms of the settlement are private. They wrote:
“The terms of the settlement are confidential, said Gary DeVito, a Zarwin Baum attorney representing Bohm. The 30-year-old one-time All-Star accused his parents of using several limited liability companies to funnel money from his personal financial accounts, which they then “converted to their own use,” the suit said. The young Bohm asked a Philadelphia Common Pleas Judge to order his parents to pay him at least a $3 million judgment.”
Bohm’s parents denied the allegations and noted that it’s humiliating that their son was bringing this upon them. Bohm’s parents had been overseeing his finances for several years, and they used a private LLC to withhold money from the Phillies star infielder, which has stirred this legal dispute.
Alec Bohm, 30, is set for his MLB free agency after this season and will likely demand/receive a lucrative contract worth millions in its own right.

Phillies reporter Charlotte Barnes wrote (via X.com):
“Alec Bohm has settled his lawsuit against his parents. The suit, filed March 25, alleged Daniel and Lisa Bohm mismanaged Bohm’s finances and misrepresented their stakes in LLCs run on his behalf.”
Alec Bohm has played seven years in MLB and holds a career batting average of .274 with 84 home runs, 472 RBI, a bWAR of 4.5, and lifetime OPS+ of 100.
He was named an All-Star in the 2024 season and has pretty much been an everyday player for the Phillies since 2022.
It’s good that this legal matter is resolved, as perhaps it will allow Bohm to focus more on the everyday task of being in the Phillies lineup, especially with October rapidly approaching.
