The Mariners said Friday that right-hander Danny Cortes will report to Double-A West Tenn and left-hander Derrick Saito will head to Class A Clinton. The Royals also received cash considerations. The 27-year-old Betancourt was hitting .250 with two homers and 22 RBIs in 63 games this season for the Mariners.
