Wade Boggs of the Boston Red Sox,...

Wade Boggs of the Boston Red Sox, a four-time American League batting champion, has been sued in Orange County Superior Court by Margo Adams of Costa Mesa, who charged him with breach of oral contract and fraud.

Adams, 32, is asking for $6 million, according to her attorney, James F. McGee, who said Boggs “breached the agreement to provide support and to compensate Miss Adams for the loss of income she suffered during the four-year time period that she traveled with Wade Boggs and the Boston Red Sox team on road trips.”

Boggs, who will turn 30 on June 15, is married. He and his wife, Deborah, have two children.

“The Boston Red Sox are on the road half the season,” McGee said. “During that time period, over the course of four years, Margo Adams and Wade Boggs have co-habitated on virtually all of the road trips. During that time period, Miss Adams has given up her career as a mortgage broker and recently has lost her job, all as a result of her commitment to Mr. Boggs.”

The lawsuit also alleges that the relationship was widely known by the Red Sox team and to members of Boggs’ family other than his wife. Boggs’ excuse for not helping Adams financially, McGee said, was that Boggs didn’t know how to help her without his wife finding out.

Boggs, speaking in Boston after the Red Sox’ loss to Toronto Friday night, said he “didn’t know the pleadings. I have to talk to my attorney. Until I do, I have nothing to say.”

Asked if he felt was confident he would win the case, he replied he was, “very confident. We have a sound case against her. She really has nothing.

“I love my wife and she loves me.”
