Yesterday at Shea Stadium, the Mets officially introduced Johan Santana to the New York media.

According to Ken Davidoff in Newsday, “The Mets got themselves more than just an ace. They got themselves a warrior and a deep thinker.”  Additionally, in the Star-Ledger, Dan Graziano explains why Santana is “not just a special player. He’s a special person too,” says the player’s agent.

In the Bergen Record, Bob Klapisch gives credit to Jeff Wilpon for working to get a contract done with Santana, who told Klapisch of Wilpon, “No one from the team had ever talked to me like that. I took it as a compliment.”

In the New York Post, Joel Sherman explains how Santana has a fan in Pedro Martinez.
