A Philadelphia Phillies star has been forced to focus on the 2026 MLB season despite facing some serious family drama involving a wild financial situation.
Alec Bohm and the Phillies captured their first win of the new MLB campaign on Thursday. However, a developing story about Bohm and his family has the Philadelphia baseball community very confused.

The Philadelphia third baseman alleges that his parents created several LLC holdings to “funnel money from his personal financial accounts.” However, his parents continue to deny the allegations and claim that they are baffled by the lawsuit.
Bohm suggests that the sketchy moves began in 2019 after he was drafted third overall by the Phillies one year prior.
“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,” Bohm’s parents relayed through attorney Robert Eckard. “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.”
