DeCinces avoids prison for insider training

Former All-Star Doug DeCinces will avoid prison following a conviction for insider trading in which he earned more than $1 million.

DeCinces was sentenced to time served -- one day in prison -- along with eight months of home detention and two years of probation. He was also fined $10,000.

The former Orioles and Angels third baseman was convicted of 14 federal charges in May 2017. Each count potentially carried a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. Eighteen other counts had been declared a mistrial after jurors deadlocked.

DeCinces was tipped off in 2009 that a Santa Ana-based medical device firm, Advanced Medical Optics, was going to be sold.
