Jeff Luhnow’s petition against the Houston Astros for breach of contract is now part of the public record in the District Clerks’ records for Harris County. The case has been assigned to Judge Kyle Carter in the 125th District Court of Harris County. You can read the 17 page petition here.
The actual claim by Luhnow is pretty straightforward — there is just one cause of action asserted, a breach of contract claim. Luhnow is alleging that Luhnow was employed by a contract entered into on May 24, 2018, and that while “the Astros purported to terminate him ‘for Cause’ on January 13, 2020”, there was “no basis to terminate Luhnow for cause because none of the reasons to terminate Luhnow for cause under the contract had occurred.
