Philadelphia Phillies' Alec Bohm Seeks Injunction Against Parents in Financial Dispute

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm has filed a preliminary injunction against his parents, Daniel and Lisa Bohm, seeking the return of $528,618 and requesting a halt to a separate arbitration case they initiated.

The injunction is part of a broader lawsuit filed by Bohm in March, which alleges financial mismanagement and seeks $3 million in judgment. The parents' legal counsel has denied the allegations and contends the dispute should be resolved through arbitration in Florida.

Legal Proceedings and Recent Ruling

On Monday, a Philadelphia judge ruled that Daniel and Lisa Bohm's legal team has 10 days to respond to the preliminary injunction petition. The petition was filed last week by Bohm's lawyers from the firm Zarwin Baum.

The injunction seeks the return of $528,618 that was transferred from a brokerage account connected to Bohm on March 5. According to the filing, the funds were transferred to a trust held in the name of the parents' Florida counsel, Robert Eckard, and were allegedly intended to pay for their legal expenses.

Bohm's legal team has also asked the court to halt a case that Daniel and Lisa Bohm brought to an arbitration court in Pinellas County, Florida. Bohm's lawyers argue the matters should be adjudicated in Philadelphia.

Allegations in the Lawsuit and New Filings

The underlying lawsuit, filed in March, alleges that Daniel and Lisa Bohm mismanaged their son's finances through limited liability companies (LLCs) created to hold some of his baseball earnings. The suit alleges that after moving Bohm's money to at least four LLCs, the parents invested some funds, used a portion for Bohm's expenses, and employed "sizeable amounts" for their own use.

The recent injunction filing contains new financial allegations:

Between July 2020 and October 2025, Daniel and Lisa Bohm transferred more than $6.5 million to brokerage accounts connected to two of the LLCs.
Over $5.6 million of that total was transferred between June 2024 and October 2025.
The filing alleges Daniel and Lisa Bohm did not contribute any of their own funds to these accounts.
The filing reports "exorbitant expenses" for one LLC, including $123,972 for advertising, supplies, and postage in 2024, and over $95,000 in legal and professional fees from 2019 to 2021.

Dispute Over LLC Operating Agreements

A central point of contention involves the operating agreements for the LLCs. Bohm's lawsuit alleges his parents told him they needed 10% stakes in the LLCs to administer his funds but that he would remain the sole owner. Bohm's petition contends his parents did not share the text of the operating agreements with him until last month.

In a signed affidavit, Bohm stated that after reviewing the agreements, he does not recall signing the documents and questions if the signatures are his. His legal team alleges the agreements are fraudulent because Bohm was misled about the terms.

The parents' legal team contends the operating agreements, which they state were signed by Bohm, make the arbitration court in Florida, where the LLCs are incorporated, the proper venue for the dispute.

Statements from Involved Parties

Alec Bohm's Legal Team (Zarwin Baum):
The firm declined to comment beyond a previous statement saying they are conducting a "thorough examination of the financial activity in question." In the injunction filing, they wrote that Daniel and Lisa "evidently sought to set aside a war chest to fund their litigation expenses."

Daniel and Lisa Bohm's Pennsylvania Counsel (Siobhan Cole of Holland & Knight):

"The careless accusations asserted against our clients are untrue. Daniel and Lisa Bohm have done nothing but care for their son and protect his personal wealth and safety. They are prepared to demonstrate that, in detail, with financial records showing that Alec’s assets are intact and have always been readily available to him."

Daniel and Lisa Bohm's Florida Counsel (Robert Eckard):
In a note to Bohm's legal team, Eckard alleged that on or about March 2, Alec Bohm withdrew funds from three LLCs without unilateral authority as stipulated in the operating agreements. He calculated the parents' membership interests in the LLCs to equal $767,001 as of March 1 and suggested it could be less adversarial for Bohm to purchase these stakes. Eckard wrote, "Daniel and Lisa Bohm have always acted in what they believe to be the best interests of their son."

Scott Boras (Boras Corporation):
Boras, whom Bohm fired as his agent in March, told The Athletic: "We wish Alec well. We know it’s a difficult time. He 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."

Additional Context and Allegations

Agent Change: In his affidavit, Bohm alleged his parents steered him to hire agent Scott Boras in 2020 under "considerable duress" to "further their own interests." He stated this decision was largely because his parents disagreed with a third-party financial advisor recommended by Wasserman's agents. Bohm fired Boras in late March and has since hired agent Nick Chanock of The Team.
Parents' Arbitration Claims: The arbitration filing by Daniel and Lisa Bohm in Florida alleges Bohm caused injury to the LLCs through unauthorized transfer of money, depletion and closure of company bank accounts, and exposing the companies to litigation.
Player Contract: Bohm is making $10.2 million in his final year of salary arbitration and will be eligible for free agency after the 2026 season.
Other Details: A note from Bohm's legal team in early February asked his parents to vacate a Clearwater, Florida, property they share an address on ahead of spring training. The injunction filing also alleges the parents' assets appear limited to a 2009 GMC Yukon XL and a recreational vehicle.
