Alec Bohm's parents used money from his own charitable foundation to pay their personal bills. Not just his MLB salary. Not just the investment accounts they set up without telling him what was in them. His charity. The Alec Bohm Foundation. They took from that too. And when Bohm finally asked for account statements and login info in January, they hired a lawyer instead of answering. Seven years of this. LLCs they controlled, accounts he couldn't access, millions funneled away from a guy who trusted the two people you're supposed to be able to trust. The lawsuit is asking for $3 million minimum. Now I'm seeing people online saying he should be grateful because they raised him. I genuinely don't know what to say to that. They raised him and then allegedly robbed him for the better part of a decade. That's not a defense. That's the whole point. It only worked because he trusted them. Theft is theft. The people who did it don't get a discount because they're family.

Nico Hoerner’s deal with the Cubs is done and will be for six years and $141 million, sources tell ESPN. It’s the fourth-largest contract ever for a second baseman and locks up the 28-year-old into the 2030s. Defense, running, contact skill — Hoerner does everything well.
