He played several seasons with the Blue Jays before being traded to the Twins for sabermetric darling Bobby Kielty on July 16, 2003. Stewart went on to be a critical part of the Twins' 2003 push to the postseason, posting an .854 OPS over 65 games with the Twins as they won their second consecutive American League Central championship. He was such a large impact on the Twins' second-half surge that he finished fourth in the American League MVP voting that season.
