[edit] Biographical Information
Dioner Navarro was signed by scout Carlos Rios for the New York Yankees in August 2000. He made his pro debut for the GCL Yankees the next summer.

The play developed as follows: Raul Ibanez struck out for the first out; Adrian Beltre tried to steal second, but was tagged by shortstop Ben Zobrist; Jose Lopez then tried to steal home, but was tagged by Navarro on the relay back from Zobrist.
He is the brother of Dewis Navarro.
