Former MLB player Micah Johnson discusses the 2026 Major League Baseball season and how the World Baseball Classic is boosting interest in the sport on ‘Fox Report.’

Philadelphia Phillies player Alec Bohm is suing his own parents, alleging they siphoned his money into financial accounts they supposedly managed for him, then used it to pay their own expenses.

Bohm’s lawsuit, filed Wednesday in a Philadelphia court, comes after he began to review his personal and financial affairs in recent months. The parents allegedly tried to "freeze" Bohm out of four accounts. 

Per his lawsuit, Bohm believes the parents "converted a sizable amount" of his money from those accounts "to their own use."

Bohm’s parents, Daniel and Lisa Bohm, denied doing anything wrong and, through their lawyer Robert Eckard said they are "deeply saddened by the allegations" and will aggressively defend themselves, per The Associated Press. Eckard claims Bohm had full access to the accounts and his parents are paying his expenses on their personal credit cards. 

"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," Eckard said.
