The Athletic reports Bohm’s lawyers sought a preliminary injunction for $528,618, alleging his parents withdrew funds from a brokerage account. Shortly after, Bohm fired Boras and rehired his previous agent, Nick Chanock of The Team (formerly Wasserman), with an affidavit suggesting Bohm may not have wanted to part ways with Chanock in the first place.
In a signed affidavit, Bohm contends his parents steered him toward Boras in 2020 under “considerable duress” to benefit their own interests, a decision Bohm says was influenced by a third-party financial advisor linked to Wasserman’s agents. Boras, meanwhile, wished Bohm well and helped secure $10.2 million this past season through salary arbitration.
On the field, Bohm has struggled, posting a .145 batting average, a .217 on-base percentage, and a negative 0.4 Wins Above Replacement. He remains optimistic and has leaned on teammates; he described a recent moment when Kyle Schwarber sat with him after a strikeout, emphasizing that he’s trying to handle the frustration and replicate last year’s end-of-season success.
Bohm has faced adversity before and says he’s learned to keep faith in his approach, noting he started last season in a similar spot and still finished at roughly .280. He acknowledges the current slump is frustrating, but he remains focused on making progress and regaining his form.
Friday’s game against the Atlanta Braves provides Bohm another chance to turn his season around as he navigates a high-profile contract year. With free agency looming, the coming weeks will be pivotal in shaping Bohm’s long-term trajectory in Philadelphia and beyond.
