(AP) NEW YORK - Hall of Fame baseball player Eddie Murray has agreed to pay $358,151 to settle civil charges of profiting in stock trades by using confidential information passed to him by a former teammate.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is also announcing related charges against James Mazzo, former CEO of Advanced Medical Optics, and businessman David Parker. The SEC says Mazzo provided illegal tips about a planned acquisition of Advanced Medical Optics by Abbott Laboratories in January 2009. Mazzo passed the information to Doug DeCinces, who tipped off Murray and Parker, the SEC alleges in a civil lawsuit.

DeCinces settled the SEC's charges a year ago by agreeing to pay $2.5 million.

Murray, who retired in 1997, neither admitted nor denied wrongdoing but agreed to refrain from future violations of securities laws.

The SEC is still pursuing its cases against Mazzo and Parker.

The amount Murray is paying consists of:

A $117,657 civil penalty
$235,314 in restitution - the sum of his alleged illegal profits
$5,180 in interest

Murray, 56, who lives in Santa Clarita, Calif., was a first baseman for the Baltimore Orioles from 1977 to 1988. After DeCinces left the Orioles, he and Murray maintained a close friendship, according to the SEC.

The agency said that Mazzo, 55, and DeCinces also were close friends and lived in the same exclusive community in Laguna Beach, Calif., where Mazzo lives.
