Dioner Favian Navarro Vivas (born February 9, 1984) is a Venezuelan former professional baseball catcher.

In 2002, Navarro split the season between the Single-A Greensboro Bats and the High-A Tampa Yankees, accumulating a .239/.327/.361 slash line with 8 home runs and 36 RBI.

[2] He was assigned to the Double-A Trenton Thunder to begin the 2004 season before receiving a promotion to the Triple-A Columbus Clippers later in the year.

On January 11, 2005, Navarro was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks with Javier Vázquez and Brad Halsey in exchange for Randy Johnson.

[4] That same day, the Diamondbacks traded Navarro, Beltrán Pérez, Danny Muegge, and William Juarez to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Shawn Green.

[5] Navarro split the 2005 season between the Triple-A Las Vegas 51s and the Dodgers, batting .273 with 3 home runs and 14 RBI in 50 games with the big league club.

However, while Martin thrived in Las Vegas, Navarro played only adequately in Los Angeles, and showed signs of inexperience.

[citation needed] Navarro was much improved in 2008, after working on his hitting and his strength in the Venezuelan Winter League with Tiburones de La Guaira, leading his team with a .295 batting average and guiding his pitchers to the third-lowest ERA in the majors (3.60) as of July 10.

Navarro's batting average continued to slide in 2010, resulting in the loss of playing time to John Jaso and Kelly Shoppach.

Shortly after the latter returned from injury, Navarro was sent to the Rays' Triple-A team, Durham Bulls, having cleared waivers because of service time.

[10] He began the season on the disabled list due to an injury suffered in spring training and did not join the Dodgers until April 25.

On January 16, 2012, Navarro signed a minor league contract, containing a spring training invite, with the Cincinnati Reds organization.

On November 15, 2012, Navarro signed a one-year, $1.75 million deal with the Chicago Cubs, worth up to $250K in performance bonuses.

[16] It was Navarro's first multi-HR game in his Major League career and included home runs from both sides of the plate.

[25] On August 26, 2016, Navarro was traded back to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for minor league pitcher Colton Turner.

[30] He was assigned to the Triple-A Columbus Clippers, and spent the season with the team, batting .211/.339/.274 with 1 home run and 11 RBI in 30 games.
