Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins could feel Dioner Navarro's enthusiasm when he spoke to the catcher after acquiring him from the Chicago White Sox on Friday. The move, announced before the Blue Jays game against the Minnesota Twins at Rogers Centre, brings Navarro back to Toronto's clubhouse after less than a year's absence. A good fitThe 32-year-old Navarro spent two years with the Blue Jays and recorded a .267 average with 17 home runs and 89 runs-batted in 193 games before signing as a free agent with the White Sox in the off-season. Navarro doesn't have to report to the Blue Jays until Monday. The 25-year-old was selected by Toronto in the 21st round of the 2012 draft and is 12-9 with a 2.76 ERA in 106 games over four seasons in the Blue Jays system.
