When asked about the move Myers stated "I know I have come in here and made some moves that are making the Rockies faithful a little nervous but I promise the moves I have made this offseason are going to get into the playoffs in 2010.".

Rumors around town is that this deal that moved Stewart and closer Kerry Wood was a move to fix his mistake of taking on Wood's contract in a deal last week. When asked about that rumor Myers responed "I have heard that also. It could be further from the truth. Now I will not deny that this move got us closer to budget but when I brought Kerry in it was to be the closer/setup of this team." Then why move him a reporter asked. Myers said "because the Cubs to me with an offer that I thought could improve the organization and that deal included Wood."
